County officials today announced that five of the county's electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are now available for the public to use.

Two of the new charging stations can be found next to the Kauai Museum fronting Rice Street. One is situated next to the Piikoi Building by the old Big Save loading dock. Two other units are located next to the Historic County Building.

The charging stations are known as "Level 2" stations, which provide charging at 208/240 volts for vehicles that have a J-1772 port such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf.

In order to use the charging stations, the public will have to call a toll-free number, 888-833-2148, provide a credit card and indicate how many hours of charging the user wants to purchase. The cost is $2 an hour, which was set last month by Ordinance No.
