There are two charging stations in the new HiLo parking lot. The only electric cars I have seen are the hybrid types that recharge each time the brakes are applied. Straight electrical vehicles would be expensive and difficult to find charging stations.
Having said that, electric vehicles would be perfect for an island nation like Jamaica. You could almost circumnavigate the island on just one charge. I recently rented a Tesla in Vancouver, went 700kms on one charge and the charging station bill was $16 CND. A google check found 24 charging stations (but are they really there???) 8 of which are in Kingston. The station at Boardwalk isn't on the map so I believe thing are developing as we speak. Not sure if we'll see vast amounts of electric vehicles, at least not in the near future but soon come.
