Good morning, Chattanooga!
Have you ever considered purchasing an electric vehicle?
I think I want a hybrid car one day. Or maybe a Tesla. And charging stations, like the ones near my apartment complex and around the city, are vital infrastructure for plans to make the Tennessee Valley a leader in electric vehicles.
Fort Payne, Alabama, has gotten a head start in plans to drastically increase access. On Tuesday, the city unveiled the first of 80 new rapid charging hubs coming to the valley.
“We have this desire to be progressive in moving our community forward to attract people to Fort Payne, and we’re proud to be the first community in Alabama to be able to offer these two public rapid recharging stations,” said Mike Shirey, general manager for the Fort Payne Improvement Authority.
