New EV Charging Stations in Westport Coming Online in 2020

The EV Club has learned from Westport Chief of Police Foti Koskinas that there will be 10 new or upgraded charging stations coming to town next year.

• The four level 1 chargers on the New Haven-bound side of the Saugatuck Metro-North depot will be upgraded to level 2.
• There will be 2 additional chargers added to station parking on Franklin Street.
• Four new chargers are slated for the Greens Farms Metro-North station.

Koskinas mentioned that there is an increasing demand for places to charge. He mentioned something else that we found interesting, which is that the train station chargers are receiving considerable use during off-hours, possibly by EV owners who don’t have ready access to home charging?
