Downtown Roanoke has installed its first electric vehicle charger for public use.
The device, created by Eaton Corporation, is located at the Virginia Museum of Transportation.
The museum and manufacturer shared an interest in showcasing the new technology, although they do not expect it to be widely used at first.
According to Eaton, there are only 4,000 to 5,000 new electric vehicles on the road each year.
“We’re thrilled to have the first charging station in downtown Roanoke,” said Bev Fitzpatrick, the museum director, to the Roanoke Times. “Our hope is that it doesn’t end here. We’d like to see more power stations throughout the Roanoke Valley.”
The charger will take credit and debit cards, and will cost about $2 per charge, Mike Dixon, the national sales director for electric transportation infrastructure at Eaton, said.
The museum does not plan to make money from the charger, but only to charge the going rate for electricity.

The controversy here is that DOE lied about doing due diligence and passed Solyndra through while intentionally delaying others that competed with DOE's officers business interests. The DOE could have safely diversified its bets with 40 small america business applicants but they blew the money on a few inside special interest applicants who paid lobby money while freezing out those small American businesses and jobs:
The site: http://corruptiondoe.weebly.com
shows that:
- Only campaign contributors received funding from the DOE ATVM and Loan programs and competitors to those interests were frozen out.
- Key White House staff were informed of the misdeeds but they covered them up.
- A criminally illegal protection investor money racket was being run by individuals in, and around, the DOE funding programs, Detroit and Goldman Sachs.
- Detroit ordered all competing efforts killed off or permanently delayed.
