Electric vehicle owners in the Valley have a new option for juicing up their rides: Eau Claire County recently installed electric vehicle charger the County Government Center (a.k.a. the courthouse), 721 Oxford Ave., Eau Claire.

The three Level 2 chargers – which can fill up to six vehicles at one time – add to the array of options for EV drivers in downtown Eau Claire, where you’ll already find chargers at the city’s Farwell Street and North Barstow parking ramps as well as the River Plaza Apartments. 

Here’s the full announcement from the county:

Eau Claire County has added 3- level 2, dual port EV chargers able to charge up to 6 vehicles at the back of the Oxford Avenue parking lot (Lot A) at the Government Center (721 Oxford Ave., Eau Claire). The ports are serviced by ZEF Energy Inc. Chargers have a small fee of $1 for the initial connection and $1 for each additional hour occupied. User friendly software makes operating the charger easy to use when charging at the Eau Claire County Government Center. These chargers build out the community and County’s charging network which allows the County fleet to transition to alternative fuel vehicles and achieve the County’s carbon neutrality and sustainability goals for its facilities and the community. More information about the County’s charging stations and payment options are available at www.eauclairecounty.gov/our-government/departments-and-facilities/ev-charging-stations. You can also find information on other EV charging stations in the community at afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/find/nearest?fuel=ELEC.
