Electric car drivers now have a downtown Gainesville spot where they can juice up their vehicles. The city officially opened a charging station Tuesday in the city’s Main Street Parking Lot off Jesse Jewell Parkway, between Main and Maple streets. “I never thought I’d see the day where we would have total electric cars, but here we are, and it looks like it’s the wave of the future,” Mayor Danny Dunagan said.
