Electric car charging stations head to Love's Travel Stops across the US:
[Electrify America] announced Tuesday a new collaborative effort with Love's to install charging stations at its stops across the US. Five locations are already open as of today in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Florida. Crucially, the stops now open helped complete a nationwide charging route from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
The new stations will charge at rates up to 350 kilowatts and can add up to 20 miles of range per minute. Ultimately, Electrify America's goal is to continue chipping away at America's range anxiety about electric cars. With more places to charge, it will be mighty difficult to run out of juice. Of course, the company's also bound to invest the cash as part of a Volkswagen dieselgate settlement here in the US...
Will such partnerships vanquish range anxiety for electric vehicles (EVs)?

Based on what little the Newsweek article one can finally get to from that link which actually contains a video snippet of the speech around that part, yup, those words did come out of his mouth.
Now, the 'property value' drop -- on that point he is generally right. Most nimby folks are not going to be willing to pay as much for property near one than away from one.
On the 'causes cancer' part, no idea where that one came from. So without finding the rest of the speech, to know what else he said somewhere else that would show that the Newsweek video snippet was another "out of context" quote, there is no defense for that screwball statement I can see at this time.

I bet that everyone disliked ugly electric utility poles when electric service started taking off. But they loved how much it improved their lives.
I bet that lots of people dislike ugly cell towers everywhere when cell service started taking off. But they loved how much it improved their lives.
They probably also don't like coal fired electric generation plants. Yet then complain about windmills and solar farms.

Which is a good reason to disguise them as trees [sun-sentinel.com] and other structures.
