Indianapolis Airport Gets Electric Car Chargers
The Indianapolis International Airport will soon be home to three wall-mounted electric vehicle chargers.
Electric vehicles owners in the Indianapolis area are in luck, as the Indianpolis International Airport will soon be home to three new EV chargers.
The wall-mounted GE WattStation chargers will be available as of today, and will be used as part of the airport's valet service, which will allow the airport to rotate charging vehicles as needed. The installation is part of a partnership between GE and Purdue University, in nearby West Lafayette, Indiana. The university will be gathering data from the chargers to be used in ongoing EV research.
"EV charging services provide more options for our travelers while also supporting our broader commitment to being a good neighbor responsive to the needs of our community," airport CEO John D. Clark III said. "Engaging in sustainability practices that add value to our customers, our community and our business model is a great way to make good on that commitment."
The airport has also previously announced plans to build a rooftop solar installation expected to generate 15 million kilowatt hours of power.
