The province\u2019s electric utility wants to give drivers of electric vehicles another reason to stop in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Nova Scotia Power has approached the Region of Queens about installing a charging station on municipally owned property in downtown Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The Nova Scotia Power website shows a single charging station at the Sobeys in Liverpool. The next nearest opportunities for EV drivers to charge up are locations in \u00a0Bridgewater or Shelburne.<\/p>\n

The utility would like to install the charging station around the Visitor Information Centre on Henry Hensey Drive along the Mersey River.<\/p>\n

Mayor Darlene Norman says as any local resident will tell you, that parking lot is prone to flooding and staff are working with NS Power to find a more suitable location.<\/p>\n

\u201cRichard Lane, our Economic Director is taking the lead on this, and it\u2019s somewhere around, somewhere on municipal property in the Liverpool, Main [Street] area,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n

The new service will come at no cost to Region of Queens taxpayers as NS Power plans to pick up the tab on the entire project.<\/p>\n

Mayor Norman didn\u2019t say when the proposed charging station could be operational.<\/p>\n
