On Thursday, Sept. 22, Winona’s Sustain Winona Partnership will host a half-day workshop on electric vehicles and the charging infrastructure needed to facilitate their use. This year in Minnesota, 4,000 PEV (plug-in electric vehicle) owners will drive over 30 million gas-free miles, and this growing market will provide opportunities for many. A tangible competitive advantage exists for any business or non-profit that has a charging station on-site or nearby. Workshop attendees will receive an overview of plug-in vehicles on the market today, and models that are coming soon. They will learn how to use and charge plug-in vehicles and the effects on energy consumption. Xcel Energy staff will be on hand with maps to determine what areas already have sufficient power infrastructure for electric chargers. With the information provided, facilities and fleet managers considering installing charging stations should be able to determine whether or not it’s feasible to move forward. At the end of the workshop a discussion will be held to identify the most desired sites for Winona’s first charging stations, and hopefully, a plan for where additional charging stations could be located in future years. The workshop will run from 1 to 3:30 pm at the Winona County Government Center. Participation is free and open to the public, with an RSVP requested by Sept. 20 to sustainwin...@sustainwinona.org.
