CHARGING EVs – AROUND THE CORNER AND ACROSS THE STATE

Whether you currently drive an electric vehicle (EV) – or are in the market for one of these quiet, environmentally friendly and cost-effective modes of clean transportation – chances
are you’ve experienced some “range anxiety.” The good news is you can find charging
stations around town or across the state to help you get from Point A to Point B without
running on “E”.

Georgia Power Community Charging Stations – As part of our commitment to encouraging the growth of clean transportation, Georgia Power will install, own, operate, and maintain more than 60 EV charging islands across the state, including L2 and DC fast chargers at Georgia Power facilities for public and company use. The first phase of this project is complete, with 11 chargers installed at various locations – including our Customer Resource Center at 4404 North Shallowford Road in Atlanta. Currently configured for Level 2 Charging, the initial 11 chargers will be converted to DC fast chargers by September 2015, meaning you can be on your way with a full charge in less than 30 minutes. To complete the project, an additional 25 chargers will be installed at customer sites by December 2015, and 25 more will be installed in 2016. Updates on the project, including charger locations, can be found on our website.

How to Find EV Charging Stations – There are several websites and apps to help you locate charging stations in your area, around the state and across the country, including the U.S. Department of Energy website and the Plug-Share app.
