What is the VW Settlement? - 11 million vehicles were produced to cheat to pass emission standards. - Vehicles were emitting up to 40 times more NOx pollution than the emission limit Idaho can receive $17.3 million to offset the excess NOx emissions $2.8 million will be for hosting electric vehicle charging stations. Is your business positioned to take advantage of these funds? - YES if, you are located within 1/2 mile of the Idaho EV corridor. - Idaho's BMP has mapped corridors across the state—hoping to have electric vehicle charging stations approximately every 50 miles. - Your location has good cell service, amenities for drivers—restaurants, shopping.
