EV chargers installed but offline: connectivity issues and limited free charging

May 26, 2026

Three EV chargers were installed (two Upper Jay, one Jay Village Green) but are offline due to cell provider SIM connectivity; free charging via the EVoke app/QR code will be available until grant funds ($7,000 and $5,000) are exhausted while the town explores cell boosters or Wi‑Fi fixes.

The full story

The committee was told installation of EV chargers is complete for two chargers in Upper Jay and one at the Jay Village Green, but the units are powered yet remain offline because of cell-provider connectivity issues with internal SIM cards. Staff said the chargers will provide free charging via the EVoke app/QR code until related grant funds are exhausted (the meeting cited $7,000 allocated for the Jay Village Green and $5,000 for Upper Jay).
