New Level III EV Charging in Chaffee County

Sangre de Cristo Electric Association (SDCEA) recently energized a new state-of–the-art Level III electric vehicle charging station at Love’s Travel Center in Buena Vista at its US Highway 24 location. Level III charging provides rapid charging capabilities, significantly reducing wait times for electric vehicle owners, compared to standard charging options.

Electric Era designed the charging system, which was installed by Sturgeon Electric of Denver. The battery storage component of the system represents a forward-thinking approach to energy management. By storing energy during off-peak hours and releasing it during high-demand periods, the system helps keep demand on the local electrical grid consistent while ensuring reliable charging for users.

The charging station’s ideal location makes it an easy stop for local residents and travelers passing through Chaffee County. It has accessible features and offers highly competitive charging rates.
