Plainsboro Township, New Jersey

Level 2 vehicle charging stations, which charge quicker than a home version. Similar to gas pumps, there are three pumps installed in reserved parking spots, all on municipal property. Each of the pumps has two nozzles that charge an electric vehicle. The stations are in operation and, according to Cancro, “the Township has developed a pricing policy for public use, and when we make the transition with our motor fleet, we’ll have a place to charge them on the premises. We were fortunate to get a grant to install these EV charging stations, which would have cost about $50,000 for installation, hardware, software and maintenance. Also, the police department purchased three new 2020 police SUV hybrid vehicles for their use.” The Township also implemented sustainable land use practices. Over the past four decades, Mayor Peter Cantu had a vision to preserve as much of that land as possible. To his credit, he recognized the importance of greenspace and, today, over 50 percent of the land mass throughout Plainsboro pictured Mayor Peter Cantu and Township Committee pictured Plainsboro Preserve Lake
