The City of Tallahassee broke ground on its first Level 3 Fast Charging Station Tuesday.
It's located right off South Adams Street.
These new stations are part of the city's Clean Energy Plan and can charge up to 4 vehicles in as little as 20 minutes.
Mayor John Dailey says these new devices will eventually pay for themselves.
"There is a large portion of our population that drives electric vehicles. There is a true need for charging stations, let alone supercharging stations. It's part of our park system and connectivity. It connects us to local businesses. So it's a win-win-win situation," Dailey said.
The city is also looking to build another supercharging station and a station for StarMetro buses on the south side of town.
