Ruston evaluates EV charging sites; school site ruled out as too costly
Summary
Mayor Hopkins said staff are evaluating demand, cost and location for EV charging stations; 51st and Winnifred is a candidate site because of existing power, while the Ruston School was ruled out as 'cost prohibited.'
Responding to public comment asking for EV charging infrastructure, Mayor Hopkins said city staff are evaluating demand, cost and siting for public electric-vehicle charging stations.
The mayor said 51st and Winnifred is one option because there is an existing power source there, while the Ruston School location has been ruled out "as it is cost prohibited." Councilmembers encouraged residents with grant-writing experience to help seek funds to offset installation costs.
No funding decision or formal project approval was made at the Sept. 3 meeting; staff will continue to evaluate needs, locations and potential grant sources.
