EV Charging Stations?

[jshaw]

I'm heading to Disney World soon and was curious if they have charging stations for electric cars? We're thinking about driving our EV and I want to make sure we can charge up while we're there.

Thanks!

You can charge them at the theme parks, Disney Springs, and only some of the resorts (Riviera, Coronado Springs, and Wilderness Lodge).

They're pretty limited and it's first come, first serve.

To use this service, you will need a credit card or a pre-ordered ChargePoint card—available at chargepoint.com. The cost to charge at these stations is $0.35 per kilowatt hour, with a minimum service amount of $1.50. Charging will stop once the vehicle’s battery is fully charged. ChargePoint will “ping” the owners to alert them when their car is ready.
