BURLINGTON, ON

There may be no free lunch – but you can charge up free at the electric charge station on level 1 of the Lotus Street parking lot next to the Performing Arts Centre.

There was one vehicle in the two car set up with the hose plugged into the hood and the flow of electricity humming along when we visited the location.

Best energy deal in town – charge your car free at the charging station at the Locust Street parking lot.

While there is no sign saying the service is free and there is nothing about it being free in the media release – the communications people tell us that it is free – they just weren’t able to tell us how long that deal is going to last.

The Gazette didn’t participate in the “launch” – we saw it as another photo op for the politicians so we took a pass. We did slip over and have a look see.
At some point the freebie will end – the instructions we saw suggest that all a user will have to do is tap with the choice of payment card – and the energy begins to flow.

When you are in the charging station you do have to pay for your parking – there is a limit as to just how free something can be.
