CUC to Offer Electric Charging Stations

CUC to Offer Electric Charging Stations. The CUC, or by contract with an independent power producer, shall offer sufficient electric vehicle charging stations, in at least two locations easily available to users, to power electric buses and minivans on a 24/7 basis. Such stations shall be deployed in concert with the importation and use in the CNMI of chargeable electric vehicles. The CUC shall offer sufficient quick-charge and trickle charge capacity to meet 80% of the reasonable estimated current load. Electricity sold through electric charging stations shall be provided for the first five years at rates which are competitive with the costs of owning and operating a diesel- or gasoline-powered vehicle.
