The Georgia visitor center on I-85 North in West Point will soon feature a solar powered quick-charging station for electric vehicles. The photovoltaic PV2EV system, manufactured by Hannah Solar of Atlanta, was announced
Wednesday, June 24 during a groundbreaking ceremony hosted by the Ray C. Anderson Foundation, Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Georgia Department of Economic Development and the LaGrange-Troup County Chamber of Commerce. The new charging station is being made possible by a grant from Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia to the City of West Point through the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. It will become the first installation of its kind in the Southeast at a highway visitor center, making it possible to drive an all electric vehicle from Montgomery to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
