  • Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
    LIGHTS July 2018 Electric vehicle charging infrastructure As the market for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, the charging infrastructure to support them needs to follow. A growing number of businesses across the state are installing EV charging stations, as are retailers, parks and gas stations. In an effort to reduce range anxiety and encourage the adoption of EVs in our region, Beltrami Electric Cooperative has partnered with the city of Blackduck and the Big Bog State Recreation Area to install two public Level 2 EV chargers. These chargers provide 240 volts and average between 2-8 hours for a full charge. Beltrami Electric has added a third charging station, which includes both a Level 2 (240-volt) and a Direct Current (DC) fast charger, at our headquarters building near the community solar garden. Level 2 EV charging station located at the Big Bog State Recreation Area, Level 2 EV just north of the town of Waskish charging station located at the Blackduck City Park Rest Area Direct Current (DC) Fast Beneficial Electrification: Charger and Level 2 EV EVs will be an excellent off-peak load for utilities, as they charging stations located help facilitate integration of intermittent renewable generation at Beltrami Electric into the grid. With the addition of wind and solar generation, Headquarters, next to the cooperatives like Beltrami Electric often have excess capacity at community solar garden night and during other periods of low demand. Members who connect their home’s charger to off-peak will not only provide a use for this excess energy, but will also aid in the reduction of the emissions that conventional vehicles create.
