A recent article published in the Norwalk Hour explains the Saugatuck train station’s recent decision to push forward and build a solar powered car charging terminal. The structure would be ideal for commuters who leave their electric cars at the station while they go back and forth from work each day. This development has pushed the town of Westport into the frontline of the green movement and it is our hope that neighboring towns will do the same.
Customers would lease out the spaces just like a normal space at a train station and pay a specified monthly fee. This fee would in-turn cover the cost to charge their car leaving them without the burden of doing so on their own. Not only would this breakthrough idea provide benefits for current solar powered vehicle owners, it could also act as the catalyst to increase the number of solar powered cars on the road in our area.
If the Saugatuck train station can receive up their desired eighty percent funding for the project that is estimated to cost $330,000, they are confident that they can rake in the rest from private donations. All the town has left to do to proceed with their plans is to clear the project with the state department of transportation who owns the building. This major step in the green movement is exactly what we like to see in our community!
