Organizers find two new Torrington chargers missing from federal registry; will add listings and follow up
Summary
Presenters said two recently installed chargers—one in the municipal library lot and one behind Giovanni's at Franklin Plaza—were not on the AFDC registry during assessments but appear on PlugShare; Live Green Connecticut will coordinate with public works to update databases and perform site checks.
Participants at the Torrington EV workshop identified two recently installed charging stations that were not included in the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) listings used for the initial assessments. Attendees said the two locations are the municipal library parking lot and a charger behind Giovanni's at Franklin Plaza.
"No, these were not," the project presenter said when asked whether the library and Franklin Plaza chargers were part of the original assessment; the team relied on chargers registered on AFDC and PlugShare for site selection. Organizers committed to follow up: "We'll double check with our public works department and make sure that they're all going to be searchable in the correct places," they said.
The workshop also flagged a city-hall pedestal that PlugShare listed as "under repair" and that presenters found removed from its original location. Hosts said they would contact facilities staff to confirm status and advise residents where to look for accurate registry information.
Why it matters: registry inconsistencies can mislead travelers and residents relying on national databases to find working chargers; hosts said they will submit updates to AFDC and perform a Phase Two assessment on newly discovered chargers so the local dataset is complete.
Organizers asked attendees to share contact details for follow-up and said they will update registries, perform additional site assessments and return to discuss zoning recommendations informed by the fuller dataset.
