Solar-powered electric charging station opens to the public

BAR HARBOR - Fuel up for free at College of the Atlantic! The small college on Maine's Mount Desert Island has opened a solar-powered electric charging station to any vehicle needing a recharge. Like many efforts on the COA campus, this was student-driven, linking the college to a funding group and the Maine community extending as far as the Darling's Nissan dealership in Bangor. The COA facility is at the north end of campus, and is open year-round between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
