Interior EV enthusiasts gathered at an open house hosted by FAST Planning on Tuesday.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Spring sunshine seeped into the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center Tuesday, as 20 or so people talked shop about electric vehicle ownership in the interior at an open house hosted by Fairbanks Area Surface Transportation Planning.
Not deterred by the roughly 50% driving range reduction in the extreme cold, Callis said he was eyeing long-term cost savings as part of his decision to switch. The primary purpose of Tuesday’s open house was to peer into the future of public EV charging stations in the Fairbanks area, under the assumption that ownership will continue on its upward trajectory.
Fox said FAST Planning has $1 million federal dollars per year to continue building similar stations, but locations for those aren’t yet decided. At the open house, attendees could also weigh in on possible locations by marking a map with multi-colored sticky notes, often suggesting other community centers and populous areas, like Sophie Station Suites.
FAST Planning’s in-town efforts dovetail with Alaska Energy Authority’s ongoing $50 million dollar plan to construct charging stations along the state’s highway corridors.
