Charging stations at Sorrento
■ Construction has started on two new public charging stations for electric vehicles in Sorrento. Located in the Morce Avenue car park, just near the community centre and the skate park, the 50kW chargers will be capable of charging a typical electric vehicle from flat to 80 per cent charge in approximately one hour. It is expected that the chargers will be ready for public use by the end of April. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said: “This initiative will further promote the uptake of zero emission vehicles in our community, serving to reduce transport emissions, enhance our tourism economy and improve our community’s health and wellbeing. “This project aligns strongly with our Climate Emergency Plan.” Nepean Ward Councillor Sarah Race said: ““Electric vehicle uptake is critical in reducing emissions and tackling the climate crisis. Cr Susan Bissinger predicted the move will be popular with tourists.
