Behind a convenience store on Highway 18 near Sheridan, three electric vehicle charging machines sit wrapped in plastic. They have been there since April and have never charged a single car.

"It's a sweet deal that they're getting to be able to use ratepayer money to build the stations and then recoup that through their guaranteed return on equity," said Ryan McKinnon, spokesperson for the Charge Ahead Partnership.
