Oakville Fire Prevention fleet of vehicles is going electric continued from p.10 Grant added although the electric car is double the cost of a gasoline one at $36,000, "it won't take us very long before we make the difference back." Assistant Chief Fire Prevention Officer Will Crognale, who has been using one of the electric cars for two months, said he likes the convenience of not needing gas, oil changes or servicing. The cars are typically charged at the end of each day at the Oakville Training Campus for Emergency Excellence off of South Service Road West where there are two regular and two highspeed charging stations. A regular charge takes about 12 hours where as 15 | Friday, May 23, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com a high-speed charge takes two hours. If an inspector anticipates heavy usage in the morning, he or she can high-speed charge the car during lunch, said Grant. More and more charging stations are popping up in town, he added, noting there's one at Tim Hortons at 228 Wyecroft Rd. and another at the Oakville GO Station on Cross Avenue. Grant noted the other interesting feature about the electric car is that you can program it to operate through your smartphone. "You can warm up the car while it's plugged in. Similarly, in the summer, you can cool it inside while it's plugged into the wall so you're not using your battery to cool the car down," he said.
