ADOT plans to electrify AZ’s major highways.
Electricity is not the issue, I doubt there's a single 50-mile stretch of Interstate with no street lighting.However, in many Western states, this is a tall order since there are no existing, off-shoulder rest stops or even electricity sources nearby these rather arbitrary spacing rules.
Even without overhead lighting, there is power and communications conduit the entire length of any one/two-digit (and likely any three-digit) Interstate. The problem is sending a shot-ton of AC over a 48,000 miles grid, when there isn’t even a modern national power grid.
