A small Maine town has found a creative way to offset the costs of expanding electric vehicle infrastructure by charging drivers for access to its free public charging stations. The program allows users to pay a fee to unlock charging sessions, turning what was once a public amenity into a self-sustaining revenue source. Officials say the model has helped fund additional charging stations while keeping the service accessible. The approach offers a potential blueprint for other communities looking to balance sustainability with financial viability.
