North Country Welcomes First EV Fast Charger by NHEC | Aug 29, 2024 | Energy Efficiency, Uncategorized COLEBROOK, NH – A new “fast charger” installed recently at LaPerle’s IGA in Colebrook will offer an oasis for Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers in what had been described as a charging desert in New Hampshire’s North Country. Owned and operated by ReVision Energy, this new direct current (DC) charging station can add up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes of charging. It also features an integrated battery, which can be charged during off-peak hours and discharged during times of high electrical demand. This design not only eases the load on the grid but also reduces charging costs for drivers. Additionally, the location of the charger near the Canadian border fills an important gap in the fast charging network between Boston and Quebec. As the provider of electric service to the charging station, New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) played a key role in its installation. NHEC provided technical and financial support for the project as part of its Commercial EV Charging program.
