Trish Dehnell with Accelerate Kootenay says this might encourage EV use in the Creston area.

She went on to say this will allow EV users to travel further, “The older models were only about 130 KM range, so good for commuting and maybe between Nelson and Trail but to go anywhere you needed to alleviate range anxiety.”

The Cook Street Parking lot will be closed until installation has finished.
