The Terrace area is going to be getting an electric vehicle quick charging site in the park and ride area just below the Skeena Landing complex and just south of the Hwy16/Hwy37 roundabout.
Bids for the station closed late last month and the provincial transportation and infrastructure ministry is currently deciding on who’s going get the contract that would allow for an area to install two Level 3 fast charging stations and one Level 2 charger which will also power up electric vehicles, but at a slower rate.
Projections are expecting that the site will be operational later this year, the site will also be part of an expansion by the transportation ministry and other agencies of charging stations for electric vehicles in the region nearby Hwy16.
Going off of previous costs, the site in the park and ride area could cost around $300,000 for preparation, installation as well as equipment.
As of right now, the transportation ministry is not requiring payment from electric vehicle owners.
