RAPID recharging of electric vehicles is now available at Mood Food in New Norfolk following the recent installation of a 50 kilowatt fast charger.
Supported by a grant from the State Government, the new facility becomes the second official electric vehicle charging station in the Derwent Valley (after the Mt Field National Park visitor centre), although some unofficial sites exist and several tourism businesses offer vehicle charging for their guests.
Despite being operational for only a few days, users have already been posting favourable comments online, particularly in relation to the convenient location.
