There's a new kind of charging going on at several malls in Maryland, and it has nothing to do with plastic cards, and everything to do with “green” cars.
Simon Property Group and NRG eVgo ( a subsidiary of NRG Energy) celebrated Earth Day (April 22) with an Electric Car Caravan that celebrations new charging stations at St. Charles Towne Center in Waldorf, MD, Bowie (MD) Town Center and Queenstown (MD) Premium Outlets. The caravan launched on April 22 at St. Charles with a ribbon-cutting at the mall's Freedom Station, then progressed to Bowie and Queenstown.
The Freedom Station sites feature a 480-volt direct current (DC) fast charger that enable EV drivers, who are shopping and visiting, to recharge their vehicles in 30 minutes or less, as well as a traditional 240-volt alternating current (AC) charger that can charge all electric vehicles. They're part of a growing network of such sites in metro Washington, DC.
