Belfast triples electric vehicle charging capacity in efforts to make city energy independent

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 2, 2022

When Belfast city officials and others gathered at the Bridge Street parking lot Wednesday morning to unveil two brand-new electric vehicle charging stations, they found that an unknown driver had beaten them to the punch. An electric vehicle was already plugged in. That car’s presence bodes well, city officials figure, for the popularity and usage of the new charging infrastructure. Each of the stations can charge two cars at once. The city has worked for nearly a decade to become more energy independent.
