The province\u2019s electric utility wants to give drivers of electric vehicles another reason to stop in Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Nova Scotia Power has approached the Region of Queens about installing a charging station on municipally owned property in downtown Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The Nova Scotia Power website shows a single charging station at the Sobeys in Liverpool. The next nearest opportunities for EV drivers to charge up are locations in \u00a0Bridgewater or Shelburne. The utility would like to install the charging station around the Visitor Information Centre on Henry Hensey Drive along the Mersey River.<\/p>\n
Mayor Darlene Norman says as any local resident will tell you, that parking lot is prone to flooding and staff are working with NS Power to find a more suitable location.<\/p>\n
\u201cRichard Lane, our Economic Director is taking the lead on this, and it\u2019s somewhere around, somewhere on municipal property in the Liverpool, Main [Street] area,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n
The new service will come at no cost to Region of Queens taxpayers as NS Power plans to pick up the tab on the entire project.<\/p>\n
Mayor Norman didn\u2019t say when the proposed charging station could be operational.<\/p>\n
