HELENA, Mont. – The City of Helena has two new electric vehicle charging stations available for public use after installation was completed in early December. The charging stations are located at the Bill Roberts Golf Course and the Jackson Street Parking Garage in downtown Helena. Each charging station is a level two charger and can accommodate two vehicles at a time.
The charging stations are currently being tested to help the City identify issues. The stations will be free to use until testing of the stations is complete, which could last a couple of months. City staff will present a proposal for fees to use the charging stations to the City Commission at a future meeting. The date for the fee discussion has not been set.
The project cost $50,000. The City was awarded $17,000 from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s Charge Your Ride Grant to help with the project.
People are encouraged to contact the City’s Environmental Manager, Leea Anderson, at 406-447-8096 to report any technical issues with the charging stations.
