Norfolk County plans EV charging station installation in three months

In a recent Norfolk County Commissioners meeting, excitement filled the air as discussions centered around the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the county. The meeting, held on June 11, 2025, highlighted the collaborative efforts of various teams working to promote green energy initiatives in the region.

Nick, a representative from the project team, provided a clear update on the progress of the incentive application necessary for the installation of the charging stations. He emphasized that all required documents were ready for submission, pending only the signed agreements from the commissioners. “Once we get that, we will submit for the incentive,” he explained, noting that the approval process typically takes six to eight weeks.

The anticipation surrounding the project was palpable as Nick outlined the timeline for installation. If all goes smoothly, the county could see six new level 2 supercharging stations operational within approximately three months. “Conceptually, we may be looking at about three months from now,” he stated, underscoring the importance of timely approvals.

Nick also took a moment to acknowledge the contributions of key partners, including Ed McClellan from Port Energy and the East Coast Renewable team, whose efforts were instrumental in bringing the project to fruition. “We’re very excited to take this step and go green,” he remarked, reflecting the collective enthusiasm for advancing sustainable energy solutions in Norfolk County.

As the meeting wrapped up, the commissioners expressed their support for the initiative, with a sense of optimism about the future of electric vehicle infrastructure in the area. With the groundwork laid and a clear path forward, Norfolk County is poised to make significant strides in its commitment to renewable energy and environmental stewardship.
