Road trip upgrade ⚡ New EV charging stations are now available right off I-75 in Luna Pier, Michigan. This makes it even easier to stop, recharge, and keep exploring Michigan's Cornerstone! 🚗

A convenient new amenity for visitors traveling through Southeast Michigan.

The DC fast chargers at BP in Luna Pier are now operational. These chargers were made possible by a NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) grant and are managed by the Red E charging network. Based in Detroit, they operate over 4,000 public chargers across the United States.This site was chosen because of its key location near I-75 with 24 hour amenities on site. It has been a long process but it is good to have these chargers available for travelers to charge their vehicles while enjoying the best tacos around.

Today, we celebrate two things that remind us why travel matters: the places we discover and the waterways that connect them. 💙

The River Raisin cuts right through Monroe County, shaping our landscapes, connecting our communities, and offering countless ways to explore. From scenic waterfronts and outdoor adventures to historic sites, charming communities, local flavors, and memorable experiences, there’s always another reason to discover what flows through Monroe County and out into Lake Erie.

Whether you’re discovering us for the first time or coming back to a favorite place, there’s always something new to explore.
