CANTON Drivers of electric and hybrid vehicles soon will have two fast-charging sites to choose from in Canton.
Two Greenlots stations in the parking lot of Stadium Park are expected to go live in about two weeks and complete a project that includes two ChargePoint stations in a parking lot along Tuscarawas Street E. The ChargePoint stations off Tuscarawas Street east of Walnut Avenue NE already are usable.
An American Electric Power initiative and the increasing popularity of electric vehicles drove Canton to install the DC fast chargers. A $300,000 AEP grant covered the cost of installation, and the Engineering Department will pay ongoing electric fees.
