CMP kicks off incentives for car-charging stations

ASSOCIATED PRESS • September 2, 2020

Central Maine Power is launching a $4,000 incentive for installation of 240-volt charging stations for electric cars. So-called Level 2 chargers, which must be professionally installed, charge vehicles about five times faster than a typical 120-volt charger. Electric cars can help reduce greenhouse emissions in Maine since transportation accounts for half of those emissions, said Jason Rauch, energy, environmental and regulatory policy manager for CMP.
