Electric vehicle charging stations now open at Bridgewater Mill

Electric vehicle (EV) drivers can now benefit from two new fast charging stations in Woodstock.

Two direct current (DC) fast charging stations, each with two combined charging system (CCS) ports, have been installed in the parking lot outside Woolly Mammoth Cannabis on the Woodstock side of the Bridgewater Mill.

The chargers are the result of a grant written by Harry Falconer, Woodstock’s Shared Energy Coordinator (SEC). The SEC is housed at the Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) and serves the Towns of Bradford, Norwich, Sharon, Strafford, Thetford, Fairlee, and Woodstock. 

The SEC secured this grant from the ChargeVermont program in July 2024. The total project cost was around $179,000, of which the grant provided $143,000 and a GMP incentive rebate provided another $20,000. NorwichEV installed the chargers last month.

The stations are now listed on Plugshare, a popular third-party EV charging app.
