Letter: Two-hour limit on electric chargers ‘disappointing’

'My only option now is to park in the village, pay for parking, and walk the 40 minutes to work or get a bus'

I am really disappointed that the two electric charging parking spots at Whistler Animals Galore now have a two-hour time limit on them. It was the one place I could charge my vehicle that didn’t have a time limit without having to pay for parking. 

I work in the Nesters area and it was convenient for me to charge my car there while I was at work as I do not have a charging port at home. My only option now is to park in the village, pay for parking, and walk the 40 minutes to work or get a bus.  

A two-hour charge outdoors in the winter gets me about 100 kilometres on a good day.  Perhaps the municipality would consider allowing those two electric charging parking spots to not have a time limit on them Monday through Thursday. I’d be happy with any kind of compromise.
