On Friday 16 April 2021, national grid operator Jamaica Public Service (JPS) invited electric vehicle (EV) owners to test its first public charging facility at the Boot service station in Drax Hall, St. Ann.
The national utility plans to roll out nearly a dozen public charging stations across Jamaica, three like the one in Drax Hall with both 220v level 2 and 440v level 3 fast chargers, the remainder with level 2 chargers.
The Boot charging station is equipped with Mode 3 AC (level 2), CHAdeMO DC (level 3) and Combo DC (level 3) charge plugs.
