Sun Country Highway donating a 90 amp car charger for electric cars to St. Stephen as a way to promote economic and environmental sustainability.
Mayor John Quartermain tells Tide News it will also be beneficial during tourist season. He says, "It's something you can put on your sign, on your website. Eco-friendly, put one of those little placards for people coming into your town."
Quartermain tells us it's an initiative with an energetic purpose, "They want to prove that there are enough chargers for a car to drive from Edmunston to St. Stephen without having to refuel for gas."
Quartermain says the charger will be installed within the vicinity of the Garcelon Civic Centre and will be free for users for at least one year. He adds, to charge a "dead car", it will take 4 hours to bring it to full power. He says that 4 hours will cost the Town of St. Stephen $1.76.
