2518 Community Events New homes for EV chargers include Town Office, Community Centre and Arena New electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is coming to Devon with EV charging stations now installed at the Town Office & Community Centre and soon to be at the Dale Fisher Arena. The Town is still working with installers to get the stations fully operational, and they are expected to be online and ready to service the public by early this spring. Once fully installed, the Town Office and Devon Community Centre will be home to four Level 2 chargers and the Dale Fisher Arena will have one level 2 charger and one Level 3. A Level 2 charger can fully charge a vehicle in 6-8 hours and the Level 3 can provide a full charge in as little as thirty minutes. “We are officially entering the 21st century with new infrastructure for our residents that already own or are looking to transition to an electric vehicle,” said Mayor Craddock. “Thank you to the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre for providing the grant that covered the full cost of these stations and allowing us to provide this new service for our community.” How to use the EV Charging Stations Those looking to charge their vehicles will need to download the Hypercharge App through the Apple or Google Play Store, create an account, and scan a QR code in order to pay to use the EV charger. There will be no cash payments accepted nor will cash be kept within the machines. EV Charging Station Funding This project was fully 100 per cent funded through the Electric Vehicle Charging Program provided by the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC), a partnership between the Government of Alberta, Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) and Alberta Municipalities. EV Charging Station Open House Once all stations are installed, the Town will be hosting an Open House and inviting residents to come to the Dale Fisher Arena to check out the new chargers.
