82 electric vehicle charging stations, to cut pollution, coming to these Louisiana sites | Environment | nola.com

There has been no update since then.

In fact, I can't find any government website confirming this information.


[font=Lora, 'Libre Baskerville', Georgia, serif]The new grants, which include money not spent in the earlier rounds of projects, are aimed at helping entities that either plan to buy or already have bought electric vehicles, by providing them with three different levels of charging stations:[/font]

  • [font=Lora, 'Libre Baskerville', Georgia, serif]A Level 2 light-duty electric vehicle station provides 240-cycle electricity that can charge vehicle batteries over several hours.[/font]
  • [font=Lora, 'Libre Baskerville', Georgia, serif]A direct current fast charger can charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes.[/font]

That's what I was wondering if you would know.


These grants award up to 80% of the cost.

Applicants always have to put up their own money to cover the rest of the cost.
