Starting today, a new community electric vehicle (EV) charging station is available at Freedom Park just off the square in downtown Cleveland.
Georgia Power said it will provide complimentary charging through July 3.
The utility partnered with White County Government to bring electric vehicle fast-charging to Northern Georgia. The installation of the charging station is part of a statewide initiative by the company to enable EV adoption and connect communities.
A news release said Georgia Power is building a network of safe, reliable and convenient charging infrastructure for an ever-growing market segment of drivers. A charging session requires ChargePoint authorization, which is available online at www.georgiapower.chargepoint.com.
The installation in Cleveland represents the newest technology in EV fast chargers, offering charging speeds up to 125kW – adding 100 miles in 12 minutes.
The station in Cleveland offers dual dispensers and power-sharing capability. Georgia Power has installed chargers in several other cities including Rome, Columbus, Lavonia, Kingsland, Tifton, Forest Park and Milledgeville.
