Four Electric Car Charging Stations Now Available in Gaithersburg

From City of Gaithersburg:

Four Level 2 electric car charging stations have been installed at three municipal locations and are now available for public use. Administered by the City of Gaithersburg via ChargePoint, the fee-based stations allow for up to four hours of charge per plug-in service.

Two stations are located at the Olde Towne Parking Garage at the corner of Summit and Olde Towne Avenues. There is one at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park next to Gaithersburg High School and one at the Benjamin Gaither Center on Bureau Drive across from the main entrance to NIST. The four stations are marked and signed.

The installation of the stations supports the City’s strategic plan with respect to sustainability. Reduction of carbon emissions is a key component of that plan. The City has committed to a reduction in energy consumption in its own buildings and a reduction in transportation petroleum consumption in its fleet. City residents are encouraged to follow suit.
