Drivers of Electric Vehicles can now check out a new book while they charge up their car for free. Leon County has installed a new car charging station at the Leroy Collins Main Library with plans to install another station at the Leon County Eastside Branch Library. Tessa Schreiner is the recycling and sustainability manager for Leon County’s office of sustainability. She says electric cars are getting more popular in Florida.
“We are one of the top in the country for electric vehicles owners and registered owners. So we know that the demand is high and growing. And these two stations are a way for us to see what that looks like in Leon County and what that demand is like,” Schreiner says.
Schreiner says the long term goal of the program is to improve air quality by encouraging more people to drive electric cars and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
