Steve Burke, the director of public works, said implementing EV charging stations has been a tactic to get more visitors to downtown Manassas.
"We've received, over the past year, over 5,500 individual uses of our charging stations," Burke said. "That level of use comes with some expense to the city. Last year, we spent a little over $18,000 in electric charges we had. There's also costs for the software that people need to use to connect to it, as well as just the use of those charging stations, things break, and we wind up having to pay for them."
