The city of Gainesville opened an electric vehicle charging station in the city’s Main Street Parking Lot off Jesse Jewell Parkway in December 2015. The Flowery Branch City Council is set to vote Thursday on an ordinance legalizing the stations outside of a person’s home.
Electric car charging stations outside of a person’s home — such as at a shopping center — may soon be legalized in Flowery Branch. “Electric vehicles are becoming more prevalent, and Flowery Branch should allow the option to have charging stations for these types of vehicles,” a city document states. The Flowery Branch City Council is set to vote on an ordinance approving the stations at its regular meeting set for 6 p.m. Thursday.
