Westport has invested in EV infrastructure as part of its broader shift toward green energy, using grant funding to purchase an electric vehicle and install charging infrastructure.

The town powers their EV fleet vehicles with solar panels on its town hall and wastewater plant, saving on fuel and reducing emissions. The town has installed a DC Fast Charger at Ballard Park a year-round community entertainment venue that offers a public beach, summer concert series, and skating rink.

Including EV charging enhances accessibility to this historic and vibrant public space in the Adirondacks, supporting tourism, sustainability, community engagement, and future-ready infrastructure.
