The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe celebrated a $13.4 million inter-tribal electric vehicle charging network project in Fort Yates on Wednesday. Standing Rock received six EVs that will be transferred to SAGE Development Authority, Sitting Bull College, tribal casinos and Standing Rock Public Transit.

The Standing Rock Sioux reservation near the border of North and South Dakota has some of America's most powerful winds, with 20 mile an hour (mph) gusts regularly scouring its vast plains.
