The charging station in Hendersonville--Dogwood parking lot at corner of Church and 4th--is also now available. I was probably the first one to plug in there!

Just to let EV owners know. The charging station behind the Police Dept in Black Mountain is now operational.

It was great to see all of you out at the EV Test Drive last Thursday driving these cars that we have been talking about for so long.  You can see photos from the EV Test Drive on our EV Committee website.  If you would like to learn more about buying or leasing a plug-in electric vehicle please contact one of our local EV dealers.  We hope to build on the momentum created at the EV Test Drive with upcoming EV events this December, including the EVs and Charging Infrastructure panel at Asheville Green Drinks on December 7^th and the Bio-Wheels RTS Kick-off on December 12^th.

Hi Kent, nice EV conversion! I am not sure if its J1772/Level 2 compatible, but if it is, we are installing a public EV charging station in Black Mountain the week after Thanksgiving to be located at 106 Montreat Rd (Fire/Police Dept).  Check it out when you get a chance.  We are also installing one in Montreat across from the Library as well.
