Subject: Orange County Installs Twelve New Electric Vehicle Chargers
as Part of Clean Fuels Advanced Technology Grant Program
Orange County has recently installed twelve new electric vehicle charging
stations for use by the general public. These new chargers were made
possible by the NC Clean Energy Technology Center at NC State
University with federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funding provided
from the NC Department of Transportation.
The new "Level 2" Clipper Creek charging stations are available to the
public 24/7. Six stations are located at the Eno River Parking deck
accessed from 131 W. Margaret Street or Nash and Kollack Street. Six
more stations are available at the Durham Technical Community College
Park and Ride lot located at 525 College Park Road in Hillsborough. These
12 stations are part of the same funding program that enabled Orange
County to install two chargers at the Robert and Pearl Seymour Center at
2551 Homestead Rd and three chargers powered by solar energy at
Orange County Public Transportation, 600 NC Highway 86.
Orange County is pleased to offer these public chargers free of charge to
support electric vehicle adoption and to further the County's climate action
goals. We will continue to seek funding opportunities that will enable us to
2
offer more electric vehicle charging in the near future to expand the
growing network and to provide greater access to this service in our
community.
Orange County currently owns and operates 23 electric vehicle chargers at
6 different locations across the county. The map below shows the
locations/facilities where the chargers can be found.
