In addition to charging infrastructure, the facility will include operational support infrastructure such as bus servicing and repair bays, spare parts storage, driver training infrastructure, driver boarding and rest areas, and vehicle washing and maintenance zones. According to the companies, these facilities are intended to support EV fleet operations and intercity travel along the corridor.
