Getting your player ready...
Boulder is banking on a future in which drivers hit the roads in zero-emission electric vehicles.
On Wednesday, the city began catering to that vision with the installation of the first two public electric vehicle charging stations.
At a total cost of $31,000, the stations were installed at the South Boulder Recreation Center parking lot. On Monday, the stations will be switched on and made available for drivers of plug-in cars to rent for $1 per hour.
The stations will cost the city about 90 cents per hour to operate, but because the city can’t legally re-sell electricity, it will instead charge a $1 “service fee” to rent a radio frequency card that operates one of the stations.
