City Of Peachtree Corners: In The Market For An Electric Vehicle?

Press release from the City of Peachtree Corners:

If you are considering purchasing an electric vehicle, researching the myriad of choices can be overwhelming. Once a selection is made, there is the matter of selecting a charger for your new vehicle.

For the average first-time EV owners, plugging in to a charger seems simple enough but not all chargers are equal. Some chargers can be installed simply by plugging into a standard wall outlet, while others require a custom installation. Then there is the question of speed. How quickly will you need to charge your vehicle; overnight, within a few hours or minutes?

For business owners wading into the EV world, there are even more options. Will the EV charging stations be used to charge an EV fleet for business use, to support employees and to attract customers? Choosing the best EV charging station for business use can be a formidable undertaking.

To understand and analyze the maze of information on EV charging stations, Peachtree Corners city leaders work with Hubject, an international company promoting emission-free mobility, to issue a request for proposals from electric vehicle supply equipment manufacturers. Through this proposal, the city received responses from 23 electric vehicle charging companies from across the globe. Through this process, the city and Hubject are now able to offer useful information and discounted pricing on charging infrastructure via a dedicated website for its residents and businesses.

Titled “Electrifying Peachtree Corners,” the dedicated website provides a guide through charging solution questionnaires and resources to help you better understand EV and EV charging. The new website offers special charging solutions that are only available to its residents and businesses.

Recognizing the continued popularity of electric vehicles, last fall the city introduced its 16-vehicle charging plaza located at the Town Center. The plaza is the second largest in the state with 12 Tesla V3 Superchargers, two 350 kW chargers and two 15 kW chargers.
