Interstate 65 In Alabama Puns

A while back ( probably in 2012 - 2013 ) I used to make a trip from Alabama to New Orleans with my father about 2-3 times per month. While driving on the interstate, there would always be a woman on the side of the road. She was white. She had black hair and wore a black dress with some sort of thin vail like garment with etchings on it. It was very similar to a stereotypical witch without the hat. She would also have a book that she'd seem to be reading from like she was at the pulpit preaching to everyone passing by. Then one time I finally convinced my Dad to pull over so we could talk to her to see what she was doing. My dad has always had a sixth sense when it comes to the supernatural, so he was just as curious as I was. As we pull over, we pass her up before we park. But as were passing her, she makes eye contact with my Dad. At that moment my Dad simply said " Nope " and pulled back on the interstate. I asked him why he didn't stop and he said when they locked eyes, his gut told him not to stop. Something just wasn't right. Since then I've always wondered about that woman. Was she Wicken? Did she have malicious intent? Did she just like reading a book on the interstate? Maybe she was protesting? I don't know but if anybody could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated

A company, Electrify America (EA), was created to manage the settlement, and has budgeted approximately $25 million for Alabama. Gov Ivey's recent annouced grants include some of that budget.

EA already has 7 DCFCs operating along I-65 {entire Alabama length}, I-85 {entire Alabama length}, and I-20 from B'ham to to the GA border. For 'long-range' electrical vehicles, that spacing is enough to travel to most destinations with margin. Once at your destination slower (over-night) chargers are offered at many hotels and such.

The proposed plan

• Expands to include I-59, I-22, I-10, and I-20 (west of B'ham)
• Fill-ins additional DCFCs along all interstates with a spacing of no more than 50miles
• Actual proposed density on I-20 is every 28 miles
