Greater Indiana Clean Cities, a non-profit designated by the U.S. Department of Energy to help deploy alternative fuels and transportation, coordinated with the City of Fort Wayne to identify potential charging sites, assess identified site needs, and write the City’s grant application.
Kerri Garvin, Executive Director of Greater Indiana Clean Cities believes “these chargers will encourage adoption of electric vehicles, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions in Indiana.”
The six electric vehicle charging stations located near the corner of Barr Street at both Wayne and Berry streets are now operational.
