Selectboard previews Level 2 EV charger for Town Green
Summary
Chair Ian Albinson said a Level 2 electric vehicle charger is proposed for the Town Green at Park Place and Park Street; updated quotes may allow the grant to cover costs and installation would replace a bollard and encourage downtown visits.
Chair Ian Albinson said he will bring a proposal for a Level 2 electric vehicle charging station on the Town Green to a future Selectboard meeting, likely at the corner of Park Place, Park Street and North Street on town-owned land.
Albinson said he is obtaining updated quotes from Cummings Electric and believes a grant will cover the installation after newer quotes came in substantially lower than the original estimate. He said a Level 2 charger "is easy to connect (no three-phase power needed) and would encourage people to park and enjoy downtown" and noted the installation would replace one of the bollards on the Green. He contrasted the Town Green location with a Walgreens parking-lot alternative that would have added roughly $5,000–$6,000 to trench and connect power. The Board did not take a final vote but Albinson said he will bring mock-ups and slides to the next meeting.
