As gasoline has seen a dramatic rise in price, North Newton drivers are putting their city electric car charging station to good use. The city of North Newton installed two electric charging stations located at the city hall in 2019. The stations cost $4,000 with half the amount donated by a private donor, city administrator Kyle Fiedler said. “I would say the stations are used steadily for sure,” he said. “We see a group of regular vehicles here on a regular basis,” In 2021, the stations provided a total of 496 charges to residents with electric-powered vehicles with 1,936 kWh of usage, according to the city of North Newton.
