Plug in to energize

One of the best ways to go green is with electric cars; it’s a move the city of Toledo is encouraging with new charging stations downtown. Designed like sleek, futuristic gas pumps, these charging stations are located by the corner of North Superior and Adams Streets (across from the Valentine Theatre) and in the parking lot of the Toledo Museum of Art. The parking spots are still open to gas-fueled cars, but drivers of volt-fueled wheels like the Ford Focus Electric or the Nissan Leaf will benefit the most—it’s estimated that the cost for recharging at these stations is the equivalent of less than a dollar per gallon. Based on affordable prices, along with evolving environmental policies and attitudes, these charging stations may occupy multiple Toledo streets within the next few years.
