Milk, bread, eggs, charge for your electric vehicle? That’s the new grocery list for some shoppers at five Maine Hannaford supermarkets following the installation of high-speed electric vehicle charging stations.
The stations, which were installed in partnership and owned by EVgo, can fully charge an electric vehicle in 20 minutes compared to the several hours it could take at home or other public charging stations, the Portland Press Herald reported.
