MAINE PUBLIC • August 1, 2023
More public electric vehicle chargers are coming to Maine. Seven new chargers will be installed at grocery stores, gas stations and shopping malls in Bangor, Augusta and along Route 1 from Freeport to Ellsworth. Six others will be installed along well-traveled routes in Aroostook County, and in Machias. The chargers will be paid for through federal infrastructure and Maine Jobs and Recovery plan funding. The Maine Department of Transportation said the chargers should be up and running some time next year.
