Selectboard previews Level 2 EV charging station proposal for Town Green
Summary
Chair Ian Albinson said he will bring a Level 2 electric-vehicle charging project for approval at a future meeting, likely sited on the Town Green; updated quotes suggest the grant will cover costs and the installation would replace a bollard.
Chair Ian Albinson told the Board he plans to bring a proposal for a Level 2 electric-vehicle charging station on the Town Green (corner of Park Place, Park Street and North Street) to the next meeting.
Albinson said updated quotes from Cummings Electric were substantially better than the earlier estimate and that he believes the grant that supported the project will cover the current costs; he is confirming that funds remain available. He said the installation would replace one of the bollards on the green and that a Level 2 charger is relatively simple (no three-phase power required), which would make Bristol discoverable on tourism charging apps. He noted that a Level 3 project remains on pause due to complications and higher costs.
Albinson said the Town Green was the preferred location over private-lot alternatives, which would add roughly $5,000–$6,000 to trench and connect power. He will bring a mock-up and slides to the next meeting.
