Nissan North America adopted 15 electric vehicle chargers in California, working with “Adopt a Charger” program.
The non-profit organization was founded last year to help broaden the plug-in electric vehicle charting infrastructure. Through the relationship between Adopt a Charnger and Nissan, the automaker has installed total of 15 chargers in Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to Thursday’s statement.
“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 of Nissan Marketing, in the statement.
“Nissan's commitment to zero emissions goes beyond the LEAF; we want to help transform global societies to adapt zero emissions vehicles as a way to address environmental concerns and promote energy independence.”
Adopt a Charger works with other organizations and individuals to donate funds to provide electric vehicle chargers for free to the public.
Nissan installed three level 2 chargers in Los Angeles County Museum of Art, four level-2 chargers at the Music Concourse Garage in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and eight level-1 outlets at the same location in San Francisco. The chargers are free to use.
“As our first corporate sponsor we made sure to carefully research the best places to offer Nissan's adopted chargers,” said Kitty Adams, executive director of Adopt a Charger.
“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.”
Adopt a Charger has been reported to be working with the California State University system, U.S. National Park Service – Golden Gate Recreation Area, and with regional museums.
