At the JQ Mall in Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has installed an electric vehicle charging station. It serves as a trial run for a corporate diversification initiative that will eventually be handled by a subsidiary business that LUCELEC is establishing.
A Corporate Diversification Team led by LUCELEC Financial Controller is currently in charge of the project. The electric charging station would let owners of electric cars buy a card that would work like a credit card to charge their cars.
People who own electric vehicles must register with the subsidiary firm in order to receive a card that, when inserted into the station, will enable them to charge their vehicles.
These cards must be prepaid, and fees based on their value will be applied. The charging station would also be quicker and more convenient for owners, even though they will still be able to plug their cars into outlets at home, according to LUCELEC’s financial controller.
