Bucks Town Adds PA's 1st Fast-Charging Vehicle Stations

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —The township is the first municipality in the state to implement fast-charging electric vehicle stations.

Township officials unveiled the four DC-Fast Charging Level 3 Electric Vehicle Charging Stations during a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this year at the Middletown Township Municipal Center.

"We are thrilled to introduce Middletown Township's Level 3 Charging Stations, further solidifying our position as a leader in sustainable initiatives within the state," said Michael Ksiazek, chairman of the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors. "These stations represent our dedication to providing residents and visitors with accessible, convenient, and efficient charging options, supporting the transition to cleaner transportation alternatives."

Officials said the "significant milestone" marked a step forward in the township's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

The Level 3 Charging Stations signify a critical investment in clean energy infrastructure, promoting the adoption of electric vehicles, and reducing the community's carbon footprint.

The charging stations represent cutting-edge advancements in sustainable transportation within Middletown Township.

The stations were made possible by a $215,000 grant from DEP’s Alternative Fuel Incentive Grant (AFIG) program and a $60,000 PECO EVsmart rebate.

During Local Government Week, Middletown Township was honored with a Governor's Award for Excellence in Local Government for Technology Advancement. The award was in recognition of the charging stations.
