Charming Historic Old Town Warrenton
Virginia is home to a number of charming, walkable small towns. Old Town Warrenton is one of those gems. Now you can charge your Tesla when you visit.
The Town of Warrenton recently installed two Tesla connectors in a public parking lot downtown. The location is near 45 Horner St., behind the Post Office.
On Way to Wineries and Shenandoah National Park
Warrenton Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer told WTOP Radio ”Warrenton is the best kept secret in Northern Virginia. People with electric vehicles traveling from the city to the wineries or Shenandoah National Park can stop in Warrenton for a quick charge, while they grab coffee, lunch, or shop.”
One attraction that gets rave reviews is the Red Truck Rural Bakery. Located in a former Esso gas station, Travel + Leisure calls it “One of America’s best small-town bakeries.”
Town Councilman Sean Polster, who worked with Tesla to get the stations, told the Fauquier Times, “The Tesla charging station will be a wonderful pilot for the town and shows our commitment to environmental solutions and working towards sustainable energy.”
Walkable Main Street
Visitors may see signs designating the #WalkYourWarrenton campaign created by the PATH Foundation of Warrenton. It is meant to encourage exploration of opportunities within a 12 minute walk of the Court House.
The cost of the charging stations was paid by Tesla as part of their Destination Charging Program.
