OAKMONT — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will install an electric-vehicle charging station at the Oakmont Service Plaza within the next two weeks.

These stations already are in use at two Turnpike service plazas: Bowmansville Service Plaza in Lancaster and King of Prussia Service Plaza in Montgomery County.

The stations provide 220 volts with 32 amps of power. Customers can pay and initiate a charging session with a Blink InCard or by calling the toll-free number on the charging station to use a credit card, according to a commission news release.

The cost to charge is $1 per hour for Blink members and $2 per hour for customers using a credit card.

Customers can obtain a free Blink InCard and become a member at www.BlinkNetwork.com.

Eventually, the plan is to offer EV charging at all 17 service plazas in the Turnpike system.
