Four New EV Charging Stations at Cascades Library Offer Easy Access for Loudoun Residents.
Loudoun County has expanded its support for eco-friendly transportation by adding four new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Cascades Library in Potomac Falls.
The new stations, which charge at a rate of $2.10 per session, aim to make electric vehicle charging more accessible to the community while promoting sustainable initiatives as part of Loudoun’s Energy Strategy.
EV Charging Access for a Greener Loudoun
The addition of EV chargers at Cascades Library is part of Loudoun County’s commitment to creating a sustainable future.
Located at 21030 Whitfield Place, Potomac Falls, the new stations provide space for up to four vehicles to charge simultaneously, offering both convenience and reliability for residents and visitors alike.
As more drivers make the shift to electric vehicles, Loudoun’s investment in public charging stations supports the community’s evolving needs and helps reduce emissions associated with traditional vehicles.
How It Works:
The new EV charging stations offer straightforward operation and payment through a mobile app that connects to credit or debit cards. Each charging session starts as soon as a car is plugged into the station, ending either when charging is complete or when the plug is removed.
The flat rate of $2.10 per session provides a simple, accessible option for electric vehicle owners.
