The public stations will cost $3 per charge, and operate by self-serve kiosks, and accept major credit and debit cards. The installation and purchase of the five charging stations were funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The public stations received funding via the DOE’s Petroleum Reduction Program and the three County-City chargers were funded by the DOE’s EV Project.
