The city of Lafayette now has another public charging station for electric vehicles.
A new EV charging station has been installed in downtown Lafayette thanks to Bayou Electric Vehicles, Alliance for Affordable Energy, Lafayette Public Trust Financing Authority, JEH Solar, Toce Financial, and a GoFundMe campaign. Those working on the project expect the station to not only serve local residents but also attract EV drivers commuting between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge to visit the city.
The charging unit has a 2-hour limit and has a plug used by most electric vehicles. Tesla vehicles will need a special adapter. There are also EV charging stations at Cajun Field in the city of Lafayette and the West Regional Public Library in neighboring Scott.
