Seems Walgreens and IKEA think so, as the two Retailers Start to “Charge Up” their Parking Lots
Walgreens (NYSE: WAG) and IKEA is going to be offering a charging station in its parking areas to charge your vehicle very soon? It appears both of these retail procedures are planning for the future. Walgreens intends to install as much as 800 electric vehicle charging stations at locations over the U.S. this year, which may allow it to be the country’s greatest retail supporter from the concept. Meanwhile, home decorating store IKEA intends to test the acceptance of battery chargers at 10 stores within the Western Untied States.
The Walgreens installations, which began last summer time, uses EVGO Freedom Stations from NRG Energy. We’ve got the technology will include whether Electricity charger, which could give a “top off” that stretches an electrical vehicle’s range up to 30 miles in under ten minutes or with an amount 2 charger that stretches the number by 25 miles during a period of an hour or so. You will find trade-offs, obviously, since charging more rapidly could shorten the lifespan from the vehicle’s battery.
The websites specific for that charging stations includes Boston, Colorado, La, New You are able to City, Bay Area and Washington, D.C. Other states which get the battery chargers include Florida, New Jersey, Or, Tennessee and Washington. You will find already installations happening across Chicago, Dallas and Houston.
Could all parking lots become the perfect fueling stations in the future? Its appears to be happening right before our eyes as more plug-in electric vehicles come available and lots of charging stations are installed, it’s a great idea as gasoline prices continue to increase.
