Downtown Batavia Adds EV Charging Stations
The City of Batavia recently commemorated the installation of four new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The effort was made possible by National Grid’s Make-Ready Electric Vehicle program.
Here are some excerpts from the press release:
National Grid’s EV charging program is available for businesses, multi-unit residential buildings and retail stores, as well as parks and vacation destinations.
The company also offers a program for companies looking to electrify their fleets, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and meet the de-carbonization goals of the states where the utility operates.
“We believe that with the increase of electric car sales there will be a need for stations and at the same time, these stations will drive traffic to the downtown area as well as the surrounding businesses.” (Rick Mancuso, owner of Mancuso Bowling Center and TF Brown’s Restaurant in Batavia)
