City Council has set a  $27 hourly fee to use the Level 3 EV charging station at the south end of the TRCC parking lot.

The charging fee was added to the City of Thompson’s Fee and Fine Schedule during their November 14 meeting.

Mayor Colleen Smook said that having the charging station available benefits Thompson businesses and residents who use EVs around town, even if a lack of chargers along Highway 6 makes longer trips impractical or impossible.

Once the hourly rate is set by FLO, the manufacturer of the charging station, it will be available for the public to use.

To use the station, EV drivers will have to download the FLO app and purchase charging time.
The fees paid to FLO for the use of the charger are then transferred to the City of Thompson.
