Tesla opens charging station in Maine’s capital city

Tesla has opened a supercharging station for its luxury electric vehicles at an Augusta shopping center.

The Kennebec Journal reported that the charging station that opened Monday at the Martketplace at Augusta is the most northerly station on its network along the Interstate 95 corridor.

Even though there are only 32 Tesla owners in Maine and none in Augusta, the city’s deputy director of development, Keith Luke, said the opening of the charging station is a “big deal.”

“It shows Augusta as a central location for tourism and (reflects) our ability to provide high-tech services that businesses and consumers of the future are looking for,” Luke told the Kennebec Journal.
