Recently added to California’s Green list are 15 all-new electric vehicle chargers. These Level 1 and 2 systems are scattered across the state and were made possible by a partnership with Nissan North America and the Adopt a Charger foundation. Free to use by the public, the chargers have the ability refresh the lithium-ion battery of a LEAF as well as other EVs. The effort was put worth so that more and more zero emissions vehicles can find a place to “refuel” and to lower the drive range anxiety usually associated with electric cars.
“Nissan’s commitment to zero emissions goes beyond the LEAF; we want to help transform global societies to adapt zero emissions vehicles as a way to address environmental concerns and promote energy independence,” said Jon Brancheau, Vice President for Nissan Marketing. Adopt a Charger is a non-profit organization created to expand the EV market. With Nissan’s help, the two companies have so far been successful as three Level 2 chargers are working at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and four at the Music Concourse Garage in Golden Gate Park. Eight Level 1, 120 volt systems can be found at the San Francisco park as well. “As our first corporate sponsor we made sure to carefully research the best places to offer Nissan’s adopted chargers,” said Kitty Adams, executive director of Adopt a Charger.
