A proposal to install the fast electric vehicle charging stations in Ardmore St will be presented to the Wanaka Community Board at its May 11 meeting. As well as the two charging stations, the proposal includes making four parking spaces dedicated electric vehicle parking stalls. Part of the proposal includes creating three new parking spaces outside the old fire station, next to the council's office. The company had also looked at possible locations for charge stations in Frankton and Queenstown, Mr Darby said. Wanaka Electric Vehicle Club co-ordinator Morgan Knoesen said the stations would benefit electric vehicle owners outside of Wanaka and businesses wanting to switch to electric vehicles.
