City of Cleveland to install electric vehicle charging stations for public use

 

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The city of Cleveland will install three public charging stations for electric vehicles this summer, taking its first step toward embracing the technology and encouraging drivers to choose the alternative fuel.

 

City Council voted Monday night to authorize Cleveland Public Power to spend $75,000 to install and maintain the stations for a three-year period. The stations will be built at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, the Municipal Parking Lot near the Browns Stadium on South Marginal Road, and a third undetermined East side location.

 

Currently, there are 54 electric vehicle charging stations in Ohio, according to CleanFuels Ohio, a nonprofit agency that promotes the use of cleaner, domestic fuels and efficient vehicles. Ten of the stations are in Cleveland -- at Case Western Reserve University, The Cleveland Clinic, Cuyahoga County Community College and the Baker Electric Building on Euclid Avenue.

You own an EV? What do you think of it so far?

Does my history knowledge serve me correctly in thinking the government initially did the same thing for providing fuel for combustion engines in their beginning?

I bought a Volt a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.  I did my research and this car makes a lot of sense and is a pleasure to drive.

 

I can do all my charging at home and work for my daily driving but I would love to see some charging stations come up around Cincinnati.  It would also be nice to see some chargers at CVG.
