Celebrate the Grand Opening of Downtown Ann Arbor’s Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Please join the Ann Arbor DDA and Clean Energy Coalition at the Forest Avenue Parking Structure Tuesday, June 19 at 1 p.m. to celebrate the installation of 18 electric vehicle charging stations in downtown Ann Arbor. With the completion of this project, the DDA can say, “We will be ready for you when you are ready for an electric car.”
Speakers at this grand opening event include:
- Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje
- Sean Reed, Executive Director of Clean Energy Coalition
- Susan Pollay, Executive Director of the Ann Arbor DDA
- Dave Konkle of the Ann Arbor DDA
- Charles Griffith, Climate & Energy Program Director, Ecology Center.
The 18 Clipper Creek electric vehicle charging stations now in place can be accessed by the public free of charge; EV owners need only pay the usual parking fees.
This project was substantially funded by a U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities Recovery Act grant awarded through Ann Arbor-based Clean Energy Coalition. Through these installations, the DDA continues to encourage a variety of downtown transportation choices, maintain Ann Arbor’s position as a leader in sustainability, and help the city meet its emission reduction goals. Electric vehicle charging stations are yet another reason for people to choose to come enjoy downtown Ann Arbor.
This event is open to the public and parking for electric vehicles is available. If you’re interested in joining the celebration of Ann Arbor moving towards a healthier and more energy independent community, please join us!
