Another electric vehicle charging station will go online in Juneau the day after Christmas.
The station at the Marine Parking Garage is the fourth public EV charging station on the Juneau road system. The others are at Eagle Beach State Recreation Area, Alaska Electric Light and Power, and the Ted Stevens Marine Research Institute.
More are planned at Eaglecrest Ski Area, University of Alaska Southeast and the new Mendenhall Valley Library under construction at Dimond Park.
Electric vehicle drivers will need to pay 75 cents an hour to park at the Marine Parking Garage. But use of the charging station is free.
The Juneau Economic Development Council secured a $25,000 grant to expand the number of EV charging stations on the road system.
