Last week, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom reported for us that the city had just installed 3 charging stations for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
Yesterday, the News & Observer reported that Raleigh, N.C. plans to install eight plug-in charging stations over the next few months, under a program called Project Get Ready. Like the San Francisco-based program, drivers will access the charging stations through key-cards. In Raleigh, this means simple credit card access at a cost of about 2.5 cents per mile, while the SF-based program uses chargers provided by Coulomb Technologies at no cost, but are only available to members of the car-sharing programs City CarShare and Zipcar.
Portland, OR, and Indianapolis are also participating in Project Get Ready, which was initiated by the Colorado-based non-profit Rocky Mountain Insititute. The stations will be installed primarily in the city’s parking garages and around N.C. State University, at a cost of about $1,000 to $4,000 a piece.
