Shorepower Technologies has added electric plug-in power pedestals to 17 more truckstops. White’s Travel Center in Raphine, Va., located at I-81/64, Exit 205, is the latest truckstop with electrification. White’s sister location, Lee Hi Travel Plaza in Lexington, Va., will also be offering power soon.
Shorepower Technologies provided the electrical pedestals to White’s through the Department of Energy’s Shorepower Truck Electrification Project. White’s Travel Center site also provides 480-volt power for hybrid refrigerated trailers.
As an incentive to use STEP electrified sites, Shorepower said free power is available to truckers through the end of January 2013.
