The town’s Energy and Environment Advisory Committee and Town Board have installed a free public electric car charging station at the Penfield Community Center and Penfield Library, 1985 Baird Road.
The project was the idea of Bob Kanauer, an electrical engineer, member of the town’s Energy and Environment Advisory Committee and owner of LTHS Solar. Kanauer donated the charging station equipment and project engineering, and the town installed the fully handicapped-accessible enclosure, providing labor and materials including wood, pavers and conduit. A meter for the charging station is located inside the Community Center.
The result of this collaboration is a free public charging station for electric cars such as the Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf and a soon-to-be-available Ford Focus Electric. The cost of electricity for the charging station is about 33 cents per hour. A one-hour charge while visiting the Penfield library would typically yield about 14 miles of charge to a car’s battery. It would take roughly three hours to fully charge a vehicle.
