Cobb County motorists who drive electric vehicles will be able to charge them at a new station provided to Cobb County’s government by Nissan of North America this week.

According to East Cobber magazine, the new charging station at 1150 Powder Springs St. will open to the public after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m. on Wednesday. The station will charge any electric vehicle that has a compatible DC/faster charging plug, the magazine says.

Apart from public use, Cobb County will use the station to charge its ever-growing fleet of green vehicles; according to the magazine, the county has leased 16 new Nissan LEAFs for use of various county departments, cutting down on fuel expenses and ultimately saving Cobb taxpayers money.
