EPB has activated free electric vehicle charging stations on the first floor of its downtown parking garage.
The new parking deck chargers are part of EPB’s effort to raise awareness about the benefits of EVs while also providing resources to make the change easier for people in the Chattanooga area.
EPB is offering 13 charging spaces with clear signage on the first floor of its parking garage, which has an entrance at the back of its 10th Street building.
While the public pays to park in the garage, the charging stations are free. Parking starts at $1 and has a daily maximum of $8.
EPB has also launched three new company policies designed to support local companies in deploying additional EV charging options: a Commercial EV Rate, a New Construction EV Growth Credit and an Incentive for Public EV Chargers for Commercial Customers.
In addition, EPB is partnering with TVA, the State of Tennessee and others to add electric charging stations every 50 miles on major highways across Tennessee.
