PLANTATION POINTE SHOPPING CENTER

A two-bay electric vehicle charging station is being installed by the city's electric department at the Plantation Pointe Shopping Center on Greeno Road.

The stations were funded by a $146K state grant. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the grants.

“These grants are part of a plan to ensure that electric vehicle charging stations are located throughout the state – not just on interstates with upcoming federal funds, but also on or near secondary roads in heavily traveled areas of the state,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said. “ADECA is pleased to join with Governor Ivey and the many partners in this program.”

No, we'll be on our way back to energy independence and realize that electric cars have very limited value and application.

Two charging stations are to be installed initially, then two more later using the grant funds, as we understand it.

This would be a great spot for an E. B. Gaston statue.

We’ve been an EV-only family for 6 months without any problem or inconvenience at all.

Our EV burned to the ground due to a battery fire. Not a unique event.

Just bought a wonderful hybrid with 50+ mpg. That's the ticket!

This is great. I am seeing more and more EVs on the roads here in Baldwin county. People are beginning to understand that it isn't a "green" thing at all. These are great vehicles that require less maintenance, cost about 1/4th as much per mile for fuel, and are FUN to drive.
