It's a win-win for the community and the environment."
The charging station is strategically situated to maximize accessibility and visibility. Its presence not only caters to current EV owners but also encourages others to consider switching to electric vehicles, knowing that charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly available.
The installation of the charging station underscores Lumby's dedication to embracing innovative technologies and supporting a greener future. Village officials hope that this initiative will inspire other communities in the region to invest in similar infrastructure, creating a network of charging stations that will make EV travel more seamless and accessible throughout the province. The long-term vision includes expanding the number of charging stations within Lumby to meet the anticipated growth in EV adoption.
