MENDOCINO Co., 6/01/17 — Just in time for summer adventures, additional electric vehicle chargers are being installed around Mendocino County, including several at local state parks! Two of the chargers will be installed this month thanks to a $498,000 grant to the Mendocino Land Trust from the California Energy Commission, located at Hendy Woods State Park and Russian Gulch State Park. The grant money will also fund the completion of additional charging stations by November, 2017, for a total of seven in state parks as part of the California State Parks “cool parks” initiative.
The grants funds 12 planned electric vehicle charging stations to create a “Mendocino Coast electric vehicle byway,” to be installed by the Mendocino Land Trust. The seven in state parks include Westport Union Landing State Beach, Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historical Park, Van Damme State Park, Greenwood State Beach and MacKerricher State Park. Each of the sites selected are near accessible trails and a variety of other attractions to help you plan a day of family fun. More information about the first charging station installed, at Russian Gulch, can be found here.
