Middletown Gets Electric-Car Charging Stations

MIDDLETOWN, PA — Middletown Township is now home to a pair of electric-vehicle charging stations.

One charging station is now open for public use at the Middletown Township Municipal Center, at 3 Municipal Way in Langhorne, and the other is open at the Department of Public Works building, at 700 Veterans Hwy. in Levittown.

Both stations charge 18 cents per kilowatt-hour and the township makes not profit from the stations. The municipal center station is in the parking lot outside the police department and the public works station is outside of the main entrance.

"Middletown Township is extremely proud to join the growing network of charging stations for electric vehicle drivers and support clean energy solutions to protect our environment," said Stephanie Teoli Kuhls, Middletown's township manager.

TMA Bucks helped Middletown Township secure a grant from the Driving PA Forward program from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

"Reducing emissions is an important tool for improving the air we breathe," said TMA Bucks Executive Director Steve Noll. "We were extremely happy to work together with Middletown Township on this project that will help contribute to cleaner air and lower emissions in the area."

Middletown Township is the third-largest township in Bucks County.

TMA Bucks is a nonprofit transportation management association designed to promote and coordinate strategies to reduce traffic congestion and otherwise improve traffic in the county.
