Subject:EV charging stations
Dear City Council members, Mayor and Ann,
I just wanted to let you know a couple things before the council meeting tonight. I contacted Federated Coop to see if
they would be putting EV charging stations in their stores.
They said that the charging stations are required to be a certain distance from the store and in order to wire them
underground that would be an issue with all the underground fuel tanks.
So, they won’t be installing any in the future. He said that is why you are seeing these charging stations at grocery
stores, community locations and businesses etc.
I also checked on other grants and the ones I found were not as good as the MPCA grant. I realize that there could be
better grants out there in the future, but wanted you to know what I found out.
The Community Center is such a perfect spot for EV chargers. Our community can charge while in a community center
meeting, they can visit the Gammelgarden or stop in at Meisters, or visit a number of our local shops.
I will be Zooming in on the Council meeting tonight.
Thanks so much for your consideration,
Lisa Philippi
President of Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails.
