States will collaborate to build chargers along the 1,100+ mile drivable shoreline
of Lake Michigan, support jobs and local economies in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
and Wisconsin.

## So let’s hear it for Michigan Lakes towns doing EV charging infrastructure!

For Governor Gretchen Whitmer announces a collaboration with Indiana Governor Eric
Holcomb, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. The four
Governors are working together to build America’s next iconic road trip route, specifically
for electric vehicles. The Lake Michigan [EV](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/05/charging-behavior-revealed-large-national-studies-analyze-ev-infrastructure-needs/)
Circuit Tour will be a network of electric vehicle chargers spanning over 1,100 
miles of drivable shoreline around Lake Michigan. The multistate partnership to 
build and maintain the chargers and market the new eco-tourism attraction was solidified
by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by key officials from each state.

“Today, Michigan is proud to lead the Lake Michigan Electric Vehicle Circuit Tour.
For it’s a partnership between fellow Midwestern states to grow our economy. Also
to create more good-paying jobs. Finally and lead the future of mobility and electrification,”
said **Governor Whitmer**. “Since I took office, Michigan has announced nearly 25,000
auto [jobs](https://greenlivingguy.com/2008/04/revving-up-to-join-the-plug-in-vehicle-charge/),
many building electric vehicles and batteries. We have also forged public-private
partnerships to build more chargers, bring the supply chain home, and make our public
parks more accessible. With this announcement, we are putting the country on notice
that the Midwest is the place to be for clean [energy and small business growth](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/02/building-energy-management-market-growth-insights/).
The [circuit](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/toms-of-maine-to-help-green-sheryl-crows-100-miles-from-memphis-spring-tour-and-hold-volunteer-events-to-restore-natural-beauty-in-key-cities/)
will allow travelers to experience Lake Michigan and visit countless communities
in and around the route. I am so proud that we came together to forge this bipartisan
agreement. Let’s keep Michigan—and the Midwest—moving forward.”

with a long-distance vacation opportunity. That’s with no range anxiety and no harmful

The circuit will be a scenic [route with reliable electric vehicle](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/06/ev-route-event-trip-zero-road-electric-vehicles/)
chargers along Lake Michigan’s 1,100-mile drivable coastline. Professionals are 
installing chargers in key coastal communities. For instance, lighthouses, state
parks, breweries, vineyards, restaurants, and other small businesses. They will 
also mesh into existing charging infrastructure networks at large entertainment 
attractions in cities along the route. That includes Chicago, Milwaukee, and Green
Bay.

Many of the network’s chargers are operable today. Moreover, drivers can expect 
the remainder to be installed within the next few years.
