EV Charging Stations

(A Clean-Energy Initiative)

By year 2030, it is predicted that Wisconsin will need over 5,000 electric vehicle charging outlets to keep up with the demand of electric vehicles (estimated 2,480 electric vehicles).

Currently, Wisconsin has less EV charging outlets than its neighboring states:

Why EV?

To bring tourism and sustainability to Green County
In 2021, Ford, GM, and Stellantis (aka the “Detroit Big Three”) announced a joint goal for electric vehicles to achieve 40%-50% of their sales by 2030. The number of electric vehicles and EV charging stations are increasing rapidly and we want Green County to benefit from catering to the EV market by attracting EV owners to Green County.

Electric is cheaper and more sustainable than gasoline or diesel
There are substantial savings on fuel and maintenance. The price of gasoline and electricity fluctuate, but as of the end of 2022 the price of an “electric eGallon” was $1.77/gallon versus $3.75/gallon for gasoline.

A substantial decrease in harmful emissions and fumes
-Electric vehicle emissions are ~72% less than gasoline or diesel emissions.
-No tailpipe emissions, which help prevent fog and therefore help people with lung diseases like asthma.
-Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
-No gasoline fumes or possible fuel spills including underground leaks which can contaminate our environment & water supply.

Why not charge EVs at home?
Roughly 25% of households in Green County (3,800 individuals/families) rent their home and cannot control whether they charge at home, increasing the need for publicly available chargers.
