ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[TheGreatAbyss]

Has anybody mentioned that Plattekill has a couple chargers now?

Where are they located? I used the chargers at Catamount but they are at the farthest possible location from the lifts/lodge. It worked for my needs only because we were there for dinner at the Little Cat restaurant, but if I were skiing I'd be annoyed.

I feel like this is a problem with chargers at ski resorts. Sure you have them, but who wants to be forced to park in the absolute back of the lot?

Good
They can make up for all the ones closest to the door at grocery stores

Per the Platty website, "Located in our Lower Parking Lot adjacent to our maintenance building". According to ChargePoint and EVConnect apps, there are 10 (8 currently in service) 19.2kW chargers with J1772 plugs that cost $0.49/charge + $0.40/kWh. There is also a $15/hour idle fee after 30 minute grace period, which I'm pleased to see.

Taos Ski Valley went the other way. They put the EV chargers in a prime location with the shortest walk to the main base lifts. Probably makes a difference that TSV is a Certified B Corp emphasizing being environmentally friendly.
