Last Monday, Purdue University and General Electric Energy-Industrial Solutions unveiled the first of (up to) ten electric vehicle charging stations that will eventually be installed on the campus' grounds. To celebrate the occasion, a slushy Chevrolet Volt, pulling straight in from the snow-covered streets and hooked up for a charge.
The Level II charging station, located between the Elliott Hall of Music and Purdue Armory, is a wall-mountable unit designed for indoor or outdoor use. Obviously, the charging station will allow plug-in vehicles to pull in for a "fill up," but that's not its only purpose. University students who are studying battery-powered technology will have access to the charging station and its data to conduct research related to plug-ins.
GE Energy-Industrial Solutions teamed up with the Indiana Advanced Electric Vehicle Training and Education Consortium (I-AEVTEC) to make on-campus charging stations a reality. I-AEVTEC is funded by a $6.1-million grant issued under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Hat tip to Chris!
