Electric vehicle charging station.
Starkville, Miss.
In a move to support the growing trend of electric vehicles (EV), Starkville Utilities has broken ground on its very first EV fast-charging station. An event celebrated by both city authorities and the local community, the ChargePoint station’s construction symbolizes a stride towards sustainable transport and the city’s commitment towards a cleaner, greener future.
The upcoming charging station is taking shape on a city-owned parking lot, situated near the prime intersection of Lampkin and Jackson streets. This strategic location is set to serve dual benefits. Firstly, the centrally positioned station brings convenience to EV drivers by offering easy access to the charging station. Secondly, it is anticipated to boost local commerce by encouraging users to explore, eat, and shop downtown while waiting for their vehicle to charge.
Upon completion, the ChargePoint station will be capable of charging two vehicles simultaneously, promising speedy charging services to its users.
The delivery of this $216,000 project is made possible largely by grand funding. Starkville Utilities has also pitched in $18,000 from its capital improvement project to assure the construction of the charging station. The investments underline a shared vision to support and promote EV usage, greatly reducing the city’s carbon footprint.
Construction is in full swing, with the completion expected in late September. The operations will commence soon after, marking a new era of green transport in the city. The local administration urges residents to embrace EVs and contribute to the initiative of a sustainable and pollution-free city.
