BILLINGS - The City of Billings unveiled six new electric vehicle chargers Friday, making them the first public charging stations in the city.
Four of the stations are located in the parking garage on Second Avenue North, across from the courthouse. The other two are in the hospital corridor.
The city says the charging stations will be available 24/7, and work with all electric vehicles. The rate is $2.50 per hour with a maximum of five hours.
The city installed the chargers after residents Karen Stears and Janny Kirk approached Mayor Bill Cole about the lack of public chargers in Billings. Now that the charges are a reality, we can all look forward to a brighter future for Billings. With more electric vehicles on the road, we can improve our city s health as we lower noise pollution and air pollution, as well as fossil fuel emissions, Stears said.
