Cobb installs 8 electric car chargers

Electric vehicle charging stations have been installed at Cobb’s Marietta Transfer Center and Busbee Park and Ride. Each location has four chargers, made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The stations can fully recharge an electric vehicle battery in two to six hours. Costs are determined by ECOtality Inc., the company overseeing project, and usually range from $1 to $2 per hour. www.cobbcounty.org
