Here Comes the Sun: Western Michigan University’s Solar Array and EV Charging Station Dedication April 20
Please join us for the dedication of an important new electric vehicle installation: Western Michigan University’s new solar array and 15 electric vehicle charging stations. Funded by Clean Energy Coalition, this development puts Kalamazoo in the electric vehicle driver’s seat in West Michigan and makes WMU one of the nation’s leading campuses for EV infrastructure.
Please be there as Western Michigan University dedicates its new EV resources and showcases the University’s fleet of all-electric Ford Transit Connect service vehicles and new hybrid aerial lift truck. Also showcased for visitors will be WMU’s Sunseeker solar car and student race team, as well as information about campus alternative energy progress and savings. Plan to join us as well for a 2:30 p.m. Sierra Club showing of Revenge of the Electric Car in Room 1001 of Wood Hall—located within easy walking distance of the new solar array.
Celebrate all-Michigan technology:
- Electric vehicle technology by Ford Motor Co. of Dearborn and Azure Dynamics of Oak Park
- Batteries by Johnson Controls of Holland
- PV racking by Patriot Solar of Albion
When: Friday, April 20 at 10:30 a.m.
