Briefs: Portola Valley charging stations now running
Two electric charging stations, each capable of simultaneously recharging the batteries of two electric vehicles, are up and running at the Portola Valley Town Center at 765 Portola Road.
For the moment, recharges are free. The town will evaluate the situation to determine what customers should pay. The pumps are equipped with credit card payment systems.
The stations are located behind the library near the creek and at the southern end of the parking lot in front of the Historic Schoolhouse.
