The city of Carlsbad, New Mexico will have five solar-powered, covered EV charging stations under a proposed agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy, according to a yahoo.com report.

The department's Carlsbad field office will provide $500,000 for the five charging stations under the proposal and will work with the city to identify locations on city-owned property.

Assistant City Administrator KC Cass said the funding will be available in six to eight months once the application is approved.
