[quote=Winnipeg Free Press]The city’s first publicly accessible electric-vehicle charging station was unveiled this morning at The Forks.

The provincial government footed the $5,000 installation cost, while The Forks will cover the cost of electricity.

The charging station is located in a dedicated electric vehicle-only parking space near the Forks Market’s main entrance.

Stan Struthers, minister responsible for Manitoba Hydro, said public infrastructure for electric vehicles is needed for them to become more popular.[/quote]
