Columbia's first public charging station for electric vehicles is a level 2 charger available at Don Franklin Ford during regular business hours and can be accessed off hours with permission from the owners.
The Charger is a J1772 style charger which is compatible with most electric vehicles. Tesla owners will have to provide their own adapter to use the charger. Aside from Tesla vehicles, the J1772 is compatible with most electric vehicles currently in production.
As America continues to grow in its ownership of electric vehicles, charging options are growing as and Don Franklin Ford is happy to offer the charging station to the public as we move towards more electric cars on the road. The Franklins just ask that you check in by phone or in person prior to hooking up. Comments | Permalink Fall Scene for a cause: Help support a Veteran

The Adair County Clerk's Office is holding a birdhouse fundraiser. Donations of $20 are accepted per bird house.
Letcher County Clerk Winston Meade has dedicated many years to the license plate birdhouse fundraiser, ensuring that KY Veterans have what they need. Mr. Meade's workshop, where he built and stored the birdhouses, was flooded in Neon, KY. The Kentucky County Clerks Association sprung into action, cleaning and preparing the birdhouses to accept donations for as many birdhouses as possible!
For a Limited Time, proceeds will benefit Kentucky Veterans living in Veterans Centers and Eastern Kentucky Flood Victims. Comments | Permalink Slideshow about Columbian Theater ready for Downtown Days
