County installs free electric-car charging station; county says company collects pay-per-use funds
Summary
Officials said the county installed a free electric vehicle charging station '100% free' to the public; they said the state did not place the unit and that payments when vehicles charge go to the charging company, not the county.
The Chair told the meeting the county installed a charging station that was '100% free' to use and that the county did not get paid when people plug in. 'They get the money,' the Chair said, explaining the charging company receives payment when a vehicle charges.
The Chair said the county did not obtain the unit from the state — 'State did not put it over there. We did.' He described a local repair anecdote involving a user (named Joe Baldwin) and said it took a year to get the unit fixed after a problem; the unit has since been repaired and is in service.
