Vermont, ever a green state, will soon boast a selection of new solar-powered electric car charging stations.
Green Mountain Power announced today that it will create three new electric-car-charging stations, all powered by the sun, according to a release from the utility provider.
The stations will be located in populated areas with easy access and high visibility in Chittenden, Washington and Addison counties, according to the release.
"Electric vehicles are part of Vermont's energy future," said Mary Powell, President and CEO of Green Mountain Power. "Transportation currently represents a significant percent of Vermont's carbon emissions and electric vehicles need to be part of a cost-effective strategy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. These new charging stations will help highlight the environmental benefits of fueling more vehicles with electricity."
Each charging station will have two chargers. The Level One charger will use 110-volt household current, and will be compatible with hybrid vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius, that have been converted to "plug-in" technology. The Level Two charger will use 220-240 current, and will be compatible with the new electric vehicles entering the market, such as the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf.
