I recently bought a 2024 Jeep wrangler 4xe which mean it's also half electric. I never thought I'd buy an electric wrangler but I'm obsessed with it. Does anybody else have a eco-friendly car yet you never use the electric function?

Sometimes it just feels like too much of a hassle to charge even though it's insanely easy. It's okay, I've got you.

Does Portland have charging stations for electric vehicles?

To be honest these charging stations are pretty common to see here now-a-days, you just have to remember to look for them.

"The City of Portland wants to make driving an electric vehicle practical and convenient for residents and visitors alike" -portlandmaine.gov

I constantly drive by Hannaford in Back Bay Portland and forget that even my own local grocery store has a charging station for electric cars.
