Sarasota County is launching a program to boost the number of local electric vehicle charging stations, with two workshops planned to provide program details. The ChargeUP! Sarasota County program will offer rebates for up to half the cost of buying and installing a new charging station, a move designed to make it easier and more affordable for businesses, nonprofits and government organizations to add new stations for public use. Certain nonprofits and government organizations could be eligible for rebates of 50 percent, with a maximum value of $4,000, while select businesses will be eligible for rebates of 25 percent, with a $2,000 maximum.
