Efficiency Maine has plans to install more direct current fast-charging stations for electric vehicles in Aroostook County, according to the organization’s program manager who spoke to a group of business people in Presque Isle Thursday. The 480-volt or 50-350 kilowatt fast-charging stations will charge an electric vehicle in 20 to 30 minutes, rather than the two hours it takes stations currently in the area. The new stations — including five in high-traffic areas — will be installed along U.S. routes 1, 11 and 9.
