EV Charging Stations In The Workplace

Could Double How Far You Can Commute

Charge your car while you work or shop.

Electric cars on the market today have a range of 100 miles or more, so with a charger at home and a public charger you could live more than 100 miles from your workplace, favorite restaraunt, or shopping spot. One million EV chargers are expected to be installed in the United States in the next three years. Chargers are already installed all over California, and in Washington, Oregon, Colorado,Texas, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Delaware, Tennessee, West Virginia, Ohio and Florida.


CHARGEPOINT partnered with CARCHARGING GROUP and CHARGE NORTHWEST are in the process of installing
EV Charging Stations in parking garages, parking lots, hotels, restaraunts and retailers nationwide at this very moment. They are installing EV Chargers in over 1,500 facilities in 21 states. So that drivers have a choice, chargers will be installed in combinations, a fast charger which charges a battery to 80% in about 30 minutes, and a standard "Level2" charger which tops the battery 100% in 6-10 hours, depending on battery size.

Level2 Charger
6-10 hours
Full Charge

The cost for charging your car will be low or even free. Merchants are likely to offer free charging, so that they are more appealing to customers than their competitors. Cracker Barrel wich has nearly 600 restaraunts in 41 states is installing 24 charging stations in their Tennessee restaraunts. Just think of the convienence when they have just one or 2 chargers at each of their 597 restaraunts. Once Walmart and a few others install a couple chargers at each of their facilities you could literally drive a pure electric (non-hybrid) car through all 48 states.

There are Smart Phone Apps for finding EV Charging Stations. Station locations are also already available on Google Maps along with all the other hotel, restaraunt and travel information that Google already provides.
