"This summer, Len Necefer finally planned the road trip he’s been thinking
about for nearly a decade: Going coast-to-coast in an electric vehicle,
stopping only to charge on tribal lands.
As a Navajo citizen and tribal energy expert who used to work in the federal
government, he saw it as the ultimate test of how far energy infrastructure had
come.
Stop by stop, his plans came together until North Dakota, where a dearth of
chargers seemed to prevent a Midwest crossing. Then, he spotted it: a level-2
charger at Sitting Bull College on the Standing Rock Reservation.
It was more than a lucky break. Over the past three years, Standing Rock has
installed chargers across the reservation as part of the Electric Nation
project, a regional effort to create an intertribal charging network.
By the time the project wraps at the end of November, Standing Rock Nation will
operate 13 E.V. chargers, most of them in North Dakota. While there aren’t many
E.V.s in town yet, each new charger makes driving one easier than before."
