The ribbon has been cut on the first of three electric car charging stations opening this month in Texas.
The station between Amarillo and Lubbock, and the two others, were funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal that was passed three years ago.
Luke Metzger with the group Environment Texas says this will likely lead to more Tesla sales. The reason more drivers don't pull the trigger, he says, is because of a lack of charging stations.
ERCOT is projecting that there are going to be one million electric cars on the road in the next four years. A total of 84 fast charging stations will open across the state.
