TWO free-to-use electric car charging stations have been installed in a developing suburb on Ipswich’s outskirts.
The stations are the first to be installed in boom town Ripley and stand to improve the viability of an eco-friendly alternative to petrol-run cars for the town’s growing population.
The 22-kilowatt charging stations are partly powered by solar panelling and are equipped with universal ports compatible with all electric vehicles.
An hour of charge can provide 120 kilometres of travel.
Located on suburb’s main street, the charging stations are positioned near Ripley Vet and Little Piggy Cafe.
