SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - The City of Springfield is moving forward with plans to build electric vehicle charging stations in the city.
The Office of Public Utilities will begin installing Level 2 chargers thanks to state dollars.
Springfield City Council heard the first reading of a proposal Tuesday night to set the rate for what customers will pay.
The rate will be set at about 26 cents per kilowatt, but could be adjusted later based on how much chargers are used.
