Forsyth County introduces electric vehicles

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In an effort to reduce emissions, fuel and maintenance costs, Forsyth County is replacing two gas powered vehicles within the county fleet with zero-emission Nissan Leaf electric vehicles.

“These electric vehicles will provide a vast cost savings to the county as the Nissan Leaf has an operating cost that is 80 per cent less than the average gas vehicle,”  said Fleet Services Director Avery Gravitt. “This is equal to purchasing gas at 60 cents per gallon.”

Two ChargePoint dual-port level II charging stations will also be added at a later date to the County  Administration Building parking deck (215 Mason St.). Two of the ports will be reserved for County use, while the other two will be available for public use.
