ClipperCreek, a provider of electric vehicle charging stations announced the installation of the first upgraded EV Charging Station site in Southern California to offer Free Public Charging for the all the new Electric Vehicles and Plug In Hybrids coming to market beginning this year. The stations are located at the Home Depot & Office Max stores at 7075 Firestone Blvd in Downey, CA. ClipperCreek is replacing over 500 obsolete Charge Stations across the state with the latest technology.
Dave Packard, ClipperCreek’s President. said, “We are already seeing the charge station market moving in this direction at retail business & commercial facilities and expect the trend to escalate as increasing numbers of EV buyers enter the market. By supplying just one dollar’s worth of electricity, customers can extend their range by 40 miles. It’s a clear win/win, while further enabling business leaders to underscore their support for USA energy security through reduced oil imports.” Customers will now be able to plug-in and charge on these new CS-40 units while shopping at Home Depot, Office Max, or even when getting a bite at Taco Bell.
The two Charging Stations, which offer Free Charging at the Andrews Rancho shopping center, are the first of hundreds more across California to be similarly upgraded, and highlight the importance of Free Public Charging. These installations will provide EV drivers with the comfort of knowing they can extend their driving range in daily travels without having to pay unknown fees or charges to plug in.
