Five electric vehicle charging stations will be installed at the park and ride lot under construction at Scott Jenkins Memorial Park east of Hamilton.
Siemens Energy, Inc., has been tapped to provide the multi-level charging stations, which are expected to be placed in the park in May. When the park and ride lot opens, it will accommodate 250 spaces for both commuters and recreational visitors to the park.
In a press release, Siemens notes the partnership between the company and Loudoun County government to install the EV stations is one of the first EV infrastructure deployment projects in the area.
"The County is beginning to think strategically on how to provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure to its residents and how to integrate these new technologies into our own vehicle fleet," Nicole Steele, Loudoun County energy grant specialist, stated. "We look forward to working with Siemens to provide convenient EV charging at the county's new park and ride facility."
