Tesla installs EV chargers at Kennebunk plaza
In a project funded by Tesla, 16 Tesla supercharger units have been installed at the Kennebunk Service Plazas on the Maine Turnpike.
According to a Maine Turnpike Authority news release, there are eight chargers at the northbound plaza and eight at the southbound plaza. The project also provided room to accommodate future charging units for other systems and/or vendors when they are prepared to move forward. There is additional capacity for six units at southbound and eight spaces available at the northbound plaza.
The MTA is coordinating with Efficiency Maine to find vendors that can put the other available spaces to use.
The project syncs with a state initiative to install electric vehicle public infrastructure as part of a plan to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The state's Efficiency Maine Trust plans to roll out EV infrastructure along priority travel corridors from mid-2018 through mid-2020, funded by $3.15 million of Maine's $22 million share from the VW Environmental Mitigation Trust.
