Electric Car Charging Stations in TV?
 
I am considering buying an electric or hybrid automobile. Are there any EV charging stations in or near The Villages?
Thank you!

The short answer is NO! There is one charger (with reserved parking for EV being charged) at KOHLS in Lady Lake.

There is the one in your garage. Do you really have a need for a charging station in The Villages given the relatively small distances around town?

Other than at home a charging station would probably have to have overnight accommodations.

Get a hybrid. Best of both worlds.

Get on the waiting list for the new small Tesla and you won't need no stinking charging station.

Why wait for the Tesla...Chevy is building the all electric Bolt NOW. Over 200 electric miles! Or, buy a Chevy Volt.....get over 53 electric miles and still carry 8 gallons of gas to extend your range to over 350 miles if needed!

Tesla has several in Ocala and I believe they are free. I would search Tesla for the location of all their stations. But I would only look at cars that could at least get me from my village home to the next town.

I saw about a half-dozen Tesla's charging at the Turkey Lake Service Plaza a month ago (Costco run :D ).

I was interested in it, so I researched and found out that Tesla had installed the stations at their own expense.

Tesla recently installed electric vehicle charging stations at the Turkey Lake and Fort Drum Service Plazas on Florida's Turnpike. The service, operated at Tesla's own cost and expense, may be expanded in 2015.

If they eventually do it at the Okahumpka Travel Plaza, you can actually get on the Turnpike off of 301, drive down and recharge and then get back...without paying any tolls. :shrug:

I'm waiting for the solar powered car that, with all of the subsidies and tax breaks, will be free...by voting No on Amendment 1.


Or, since I heard the state tax subsidies/exemptions for solar cars will be so humongous...should I hold out until they pay me to buy one?


Decisions, decisions. decisions.
