Best Buy Will Install EV Charging Stations at 12 U.S. Locations
Vittoria Natarelli — October 16, 2010 — Eco
Best Buy will install EV charging stations outside of 12 of their locations in the U.S. The project is an experiment, and depending on response, the company may install additional charging stations.
The technology retailer is teaming up with Blink to create these stations and will hopefully make car charging more popular. With a company as large as Best Buy working towards a greener world, maybe other companies will follow suit.
Implications - This brilliant innovation is certainly a step in the right direction for the company. The green movement is growing increasingly strong, and by creating an initiative like this, not only will people be more encouraged to buy green cars, but devoted environmentalists will support Best Buy as a company.
