I saw the release yesterday but didn’t post because I didn’t think it was a big deal. Still, I wondered how the media would play it.

Front page above the fold:

The state Department of Transportation plans to unveil two this morning at rest areas on both sides of Interstate 40/85, near the Guilford-Alamance County line. But don’t stop in search of regular or high-test.

The new EV Charging Stations dispense electricity for a growing number of electric cars.

“We’re just preparing for the continued production of these kinds of vehicles,” said Julia Casadonte, spokeswoman for the state highway agency.

Either the N&R thinks this is a really big deal or yesterday was a really slow news day.
