A new electric vehicle charging station is available free, 24/7, through Labor Day in the Bayfield Town Hall parking lot.
The new Level 2 EV charging station is a partnership between the town of Bayfield and La Plata Electric Association.
The charging station is a half-mile from U.S. Highway 160, one of the EV charging corridors identified by the Colorado Energy Office. The station allows up to two vehicles to charge simultaneously and can deliver a full charge in about four hours.

The project was paid for by a grant from Charge Ahead Colorado and by LPEA to support the future of electric vehicles in the area.
The station is open 24 hours a day and will be free until Labor Day. After that, it will cost 6.2 cents per kWh during off-peak hours and 26 cents per kWh during on-peak hours, which are from 4 to 9 p.m.
“This project has the triple benefit of delivering economic, social, and environmental benefits to Bayfield and the broader community. We are thrilled we could help make this happen, ”said LPEA CEO Jessica Matlock.
