Well, they're "Add at Belvidere Oasis" away from having exactly that, at least as far as the Tollway itself is concerned. Lake Forest, O'Hare, and Lincoln are already so-equipped.
Electric Tri-State? Illinois Tollway looks at embedding charging equipment in I-294
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-biz-tollway-electric-charging-20180926-story.htmlThe Illinois Tollway is examining the possibility of embedding equipment into I-294 that would charge electric vehicles as they drive along the road.

Yup, and while that's a LITTLE much for me, the gas tax I don't spend is about $60 so it's not THAT far off, and I admittedly don't drive a whole lot. It probably steams up the lead-footed Prius owners, though, who only getting about 35 MPG and are burning gas for every trip...Your’s was due the EV license plate. A state of Illinois thing.
I’m in WI. We don’t have an EV license plate for General class Automobiles. There is a Low Speed Electric Vehicle plate. But those are only issued to NEV’s neighborhood electric vehicles Aka Road-able golf carts.
A Bolt in this state just gets a regular AUTO plate, but has a $100 EV FEE To make up for lost GAS tax collections added too the Standard plate fee of $75.
It's about 60 miles from the Lake Forest (northernmost) Oasis DCFC to the EVGo one at Outpost Foods on Milwaukee's near south side. Even a Leaf could do it with a trivial level of attention. There's TWO SC stations between those points and another just south of where the Oasis is plus a Tesla showroom, so Teslas are well-covered.Since this is the Illinois toll road we are talking about, Chicago to Milwaukee is about a hundred miles, you could do that round trip without recharging in a Model 3 easily, you could even do it in a Bolt if you were careful, and certainly if you had just a little bit of destination charging. Putting a couple of fast chargers on the highway would completely solve that problem.
Hah. Road construction.I stopped at the I-88 oasis by DeKalb on my Iowa trip to see if any were there yet, nope.
Now, what's Wisconsin doing along I-94?
2012 Volt. Just like the signature says.What vehicle are you paying the $100 EV fee on?
They'll figure it out eventually. And bill you for it.Can’t see signatures when using Tapatalk.
Either way, when I renewed in May, my Renewal fee was still $75. No change.
I will say that the plate was a transfer from our previous Caddy. Not that it should matter the Volt is still registered with a VIN that should tell the DMV what type of vehicle class it is.
