Electric Vehicle
Charging Stations Now Available at Lewis County Health System
 LOWVILLE, NY─ Lewis County
Health System recently partnered with National Grid and Charge Point Inc.
to coordinate the installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging
stations. The charging stations are located in the new Surgical Pavilion parking lot on
the main hospital campus in Lowville.
"The
charging stations allow our community to charge their vehicle without
leaving the area," stated LCHS Facilities Director Robert Fargo. "Encouraging clean energy practices
is one of the ways the health system can contribute to reducing our carbon
footprint and promote a sustainable living environment in Lewis
County.
The stations
provide residents, employees, and visitors of Lewis County Health System
and motorists traveling through Lewis County to neighboring communities
with electric vehicles charging 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Each ChargePoint Level 2 commercial
charging station can charge two vehicles simultaneously.
ChargePoint will
own and operate the chargers and handle customer transactions. Electric vehicle owners can charge
without a ChargePoint account, but additional fees may apply. The optimal charging experience is with a
ChargePoint account. If individuals
create an account with ChargePoint, they tap their ChargePoint card on the
contact pad, and the station unlocks and is ready to charge. Through the company app, users can
quickly pay, find charging locations, and receive notifications when their
vehicle's battery charge is complete.

"The health
system is committed to helping residents achieve their highest level of
health and wellness," stated Gerald R. Cayer, Chief Executive
Officer. "As more individuals
invest in electric vehicles, the charging stations offer an opportunity to
do our part to help in resource and environmental conservation and support
clean air and healthy communities."
The health system
encourages individuals to move their vehicles from the station once the
charging is complete.
