What drivers have written

“There is only 1 charger and this is in the parking garage. However, you must also pay to park, and, limit 30-40 minutes. So even if you put it on the level 2, you have to move it after 40 minutes. It's 75 cents to park for 2 hours.” — Kjay, a year ago

“It’s a great downtown central location for parking. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is that I think it would be great to have two parking spots available for electric so that you have enough time to have lunch and can leave a note for the next EV to unplug your car so they can start charging and you don’t hold them up. You also have to pay for parking here but it is not $.75 for 2 hrs” — Chris Istace, 7 years ago

“Not sure why it's such a slow charging rate when it's from bc hydro. Other places have much faster charge rate and get their power from bc hydro. Doesn't make sense. If u supply more power for charging u would make more money. U would also get. More people thru instead of the wait as there is usually 1-4 chargers available in each city or town it's not nearly enough with how many ev are out there.” — Tracey James Knight, a year ago
