Nissan adopts EV charging stations in California

Greentech Lead America: Nissan North America in
partnership with Adopt a Charger has adopted 15 electric vehicle chargers in
California.

The partnership aims to accelerate the widespread
acceptance of electric vehicles to address environmental concerns.

Adopt a Charger, a nonprofit organization, works with
organizations and individuals to donate funds used to install and maintain
fee-free electric vehicle chargers in public places.

Through the relationship, Nissan has installed and will
maintain three Aerovironment Level 2 chargers at the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art (LACMA). 

In San Francisco, at the Music Concourse Garage in Golden
Gate Park, Nissan sponsored four Level 2 chargers and an additional eight 120v
Level 1 outlets. The chargers are free to the public and provide
convenient charging opportunities in these two high-traffic locations. 

“Working with Adopt a Charger, we’re providing this
community service in an effort to increase electric vehicle acceptance and make
ownership more convenient by helping ensure chargers are available in
high-traffic areas,” said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Nissan
Marketing. 

LACMA and Golden Gate Park are highly-visited family
attractions, with large concentrations of electric vehicle owners. Both venues
are aligned with Nissan and Adopt a Charger’s sustainability goals and
objectives.

“We found that LACMA and Golden Gate Park have
several characteristics that make them the perfect venues. We truly believe
that Los Angeles and San Francisco residents will greatly benefit from this new
public service,” said Kitty Adams, executive director of Adopt a Charger.
