Kohl's Installs EV Charging Stations

Kohl’s Department Stores announced on September 5 that the company will expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging station initiative with thirty-six new stations across eighteen additional locations by the end of fall 2012. The expansion spans three new states, including Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin and adds additional locations to the company’s Texas EV program.

With the expansion, the store’s shoppers are expected to be able to take advantage of a total of 101 charging stations at fifty-two locations across fourteen states. Each of the participating locations will have two or three parking spaces reserved for EV drivers to charge at no cost while they shop.

The company partners with Duke Energy , ChargePoint, and ECOtality Inc. on its EV charging station program.

"Since Kohl’s EV charging station initiative began in December 2011, it has received extremely positive feedback from our customers who are excited about the added convenience," said John Worthington, Kohl’s Chief Administrative Officer. "From our solar program to our green building efforts, Kohl’s has been pleased to be able to grow sustainability programs that make sense for our business, customers, and communities – and our EV program is one more great example."
