Southington to Receive New EV Charging Stations

Southington is slated to receive several new charging stations for electric vehicles within the next year, town officials say.

The locations are Riccio Way near the municipal parking lot, the corner of Center and South Center streets, the Bank of America parking lot on Main Street and on Canal Street near the heritage trail are slated for the new stations. The two existing stations at the John Weichsel Municipal Center on North Main Street and the library will also be getting total replacements.

The project is slated to be potentially part of the town’s capital budget next year and will cost around $66,200 to implement. While it’s anticipated that the new charging stations will be fully constructed by the end of next year, that may be subject to change with continued supply chain issues that have caused delays for other town projects across the board.
