There is another charging station  here in Merritt for electric cars its located behind the Civic center off the sidewalk on a residential faced street.With  no over head pole and power coming from an underground service connection the unit looks neat and tight.

All four of the charging stations are within a block of each other and a person who used the one in the parking arena parking lot was pleased that the farmers market was going on at the same time as: ” there will be people around and we can leave it to charge while we go golfing”.Another user said he enjoyed use of the indoor public pool that is within a block of the charger while he waited the 2 hrs for a full charge. There are two chargers in the City Hall proper parking lot as well.

Chargers can be located on a smart phone app.
