FREE Electric Car Charging Stations Available!

Fred Schmidt | June 2, 2010 |

EVERY Downtown Austin condo tower and parking garage should apply to get one of these.  FREE while supplies last!

From the June 2nd Statesman story:  “Electric vehicles aren’t yet common on Austin roads. But recharging stations could start showing up on local streets and in home garages later this year.  A Silicon Valley-based company has received a $15 million federal stimulus grant to provide, for free, nearly 5,000 charging stations in Austin and eight other areas across the country. Businesses and homeowners alike can apply to receive one of the stations. Austin is one of nine regions serving as a kind of pilot for the charging stations.”  READ MORE HERE

    Thanks to the Austin Government for the important venture to supply free electric charges which is a clear step against environmental pollution as well. Now it’s really interesting to see how the common people response to the cause.
