Three Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Stations Coming to Genesee County Courthouse
Video News Service reports, that three electric vehicle fast charging stations are on their way at the Genesee County Court facilities.
Work to install these stations started in early September. PPR Energy Solutions has been contracted to take on the job. The total cost for the project was just over $400,000, but after government rebates the County will pay around $175,000. The stations are estimated to bring in $35,000 in revenue per year. The stations are expected to be completed very soon. They will become the second fast EV charging stations in Batavia following the ones installed at the Batavia Downs in July.
Felipe A. Oltramari/Director of Genesee County Department of Planning said, “These are three DC fast charging stations with two ports each, so there will be six parking spots to charge. Typically, these will fully charge a vehicle in under an hour. Perfect for EV drivers to grab a meal or a coffee at one of our many downtown establishments and get back on the road”
