Electric vehicle owners have two new locations in Burlington County to charge up their rides.
The county Bridge Commission created two new charging stations at Palmyra’s administrative building and at Palmyra Cove Nature Park as part of its ongoing commitment to green energy, sustainability and reducing carbon pollution in the county.
“At the bridge commission, we continue to look for ways to help promote sustainable, environmentally friendly practices and alternatives,” said commission chair Sandra Nunes. “Opening these charging stations helps grow the electric-vehicle infrastructure and makes Burlington County a more attractive location for EV vehicle owners.”
Each station has four charging ports, so four vehicles can be charged simultaneously at each. Both stations are now fully operational and open to the public.
The commission constructed the stations with more than $200,000 in grant funding from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and Public Service Electric & Gas that covered the cost of the stations, as well as electrical equipment and infrastructure.
Billing and payments at the stations are managed by Blink at https://blinkcharging.com/. Payments can be made with a credit card and the user-friendly Blink app. Charging rates vary and are indicated on the machines.
