Update to Gardiner EV station rates

Rosendale to offer free charging station for electric cars

In December, Hudson Valley One reported that the Gardiner Town Board had voted to begin charging a fee of $.25 per kilowatt-hour after the first two hours of usage of the EV charging station at the Gardiner Library. At the January 4 Town Board meeting, Town supervisor Marybeth Majestic announced that she had been informed that the charging station could not track price per KWH, but only per hour or minute of time.

According to Majestic, Jason Mayer, coordinator of the Climate Smart Gardiner Taskforce, suggested $1 per hour of charging time as typical of what other towns are doing. The Town Board voted unanimously to adopt that approach.

The new policy will take effect in June, upon the expiration of local business subsidies for the service that made charging free for the station’s first two years of operation. The first two hours of charging time will remain free, even after that deadline.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
