Tesla Model 3. Kia Soul EV. Volkswagen e-Golf. Honda Clarity EV. The list of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow as EVs become more popular. According to chargepoint.com, there are 866,777 EVs on the road in the United States and Canada with the number of them in our area growing. That’s why we’ve installed charging stations for our customers in key locations in Greenville, branded with our Clean Future logo. It’s part of our mission to provide our services in an environmentally responsible manner.

Two chargers are located on the East Carolina University campus.  One is in the parking lot at the bottom on College Hill Drive. The second one is located next to the Austin Building in the middle of campus. The other two are in the medical district. You’ll find one near the Brody School of Medicine building, and the other close to the hospital Emergency entrance. EV drivers have found them and are letting us know they are very pleased with the stations.

“It’s very convenient for me to have the charging station on campus,” said Aaron Lucier, ECU employee. “If I forget to charge up at home, I can plug in my car in the morning and be ready to go in the afternoon. It’s working out great.”

Drivers who have electric vehicles use the ChargePoint website/mobile app to find charging stations when they need to “juice up” their cars. “We were pleased to partner with ECU and Vidant on these stations,” said Assistant Director of Electric Systems John Worrell.  “GUC provided them, and now ECU and Vidant own and operate them.”
