Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Spread Across Maine STATEWIDE As the population has become more environmentally conscious, more and more electrical vehicle charging stations are being installed across the state of Maine. ReVision Energy has installed numerous charging stations at Hannaford stores including Portland, South Portland, Augusta, York, Brunswick, and Topsham. The Maine Audubon in Falmouth, Fort Andross in Brunswick and Maple Hill Farm B&B in Hallowell have also recently installed EV charging stations.
Fortunat Mueller, cofounder of ReVision Energy, explains that, "More and more Mainers are discovering how great it is to drive in an efficient, quiet, maintenance free electric vehicle that costs just pennies per mile to own. We are delighted to partner with leading Maine businesses and residents to build out the network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure to enable this transition, and are especially excited when the EV chargers are paired with solar projects. Nothing compares to driving on sunshine!"

vices of Caring Unlimited, York County’s Domestic Violence Resource Center. Nicole’s Run / Walk was first organized by friends and family of Nicole Oliver, a 24year old mother of two from Wells, who was killed by her husband in 2007.
