So Zach Adamson wants the one-third of the former Blue Indy charging sites to revert to parking for cars and trucks where the electrical infrastructure will go unused. And he wants to put new charging stations for e-bikes and e-scooters in parking garages designed for cars and trucks where the electrical infrastructure currently does not exist for charging stations. With forward-leaning leadership like that Indianapolis will continue to fall behind our peer cities in the availability of amenities that attract the next generation of employees and make the Crossroads of America socially and economically attractive and viable for everyone.
Yes, bad idea. Retrofit them all for electric cars. That’s where we are all headed.
Zach Adamson is a joke and should go back to corn watching in Marion, where I hear he couldn’t hack it with his act.
Interesting that these spots will not be used for EV Charging. With the news that Indiana and other Midwest states will create the Regional Electric Vehicle Coalition, this would have been a perfect start for the coalition. Reference: https://www.ibj.com/articles/holcomb-joins-4-governors-to-create-regional-charging-network-for-electric-vehicles
If the city doesn’t use these spots (perfect infrastructure) for EV vehicle chargers, bicycles, or alternative transportation it be the icing on a terrible cake. A $29M investment cake?…
My understanding of these charging spots is they are built specifically for the Blue Indy cars and that hybrid/electrics that used them charged much slower. How useful would these really be for EV charging? Would it cost more to upgrade them to modern standards in an industry that is already rapidly changing?
We need more electric charging, but I don’t know if we need this many right now, especially when so many parking garages already have charging within them. Of particular concern is charging in Rest Areas and off Interstate exits for longer trips, not so much within the city.
As usual the city is heading down their ideological path. Zac is right on this one. The basic 4-5 parking spots could be a mixed use for cars and bikes, etc. EV charging needs to be grouped and centralized for easy access and easy maintenance and tech updates. 29 to 89 locations scattered around town is impossible to maintain as the electric systems required continue to change. Limited temporary parking similar to drop off zones would serve the constituents much better. Basic 120 volt for scooters would be feasible, but not car charging. In fact car charging should be a private enterprise, not government finances.
@matthew S. The Indy blue spots are in EV vernacular Level 2 Chargers. These are not specific to IndyBlue only vehicles. Most EV’s can and do leverage Level 2 Charging stations which is what most 3rd party fee-based chargers are including ChargePoint etc along with Tesla home chargers that are also level 2 chargers
