The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library in Lovell now has an Electric Vehicle charging station available 24 hours/day, every day. This is the only year-round, public access charging station between Fryeburg to the south, and Bethel and Norway to the north and east. The station is on the library driveway, next to the main entrance on the library’s south side. The driveway is plowed in winter, making the chargers available in all seasons. The station has two Level II charging plugs, which are to connected to the internet so that drivers can know when each plug is available for charging. The chargers accept chip-enabled credit cards as well as smartphone payment apps, and the charging price is set to cover the costs of electricity and network connectivity. Installation of the charging station and its internet connectivity was accomplished without any municipal funds and impact to the library’s operating budget. Last fall, Efficiency Maine and the Nature Conservancy announced a program for libraries to help build EV charging infrastructure across Maine. It covered 90% of the cost to install the chargers and internet connectivity for the first five years. A private donation specifically directed to the charging station covered the other 10% of the project. Northlight Electric of Poland, ME installed the chargers and coordinated the internet connectivity networking, extended warranties for the equipment, construction and commissioning.
