Earth Day is just around the corner, prompting us all to
think about how we can do our part to reduce, reuse and recycle.
In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to take the opportunity to
remind everyone about our recently installed Blink Pedestal Electric Vehicle
(EV) charging stations. They are located in the rear parking lot of Artistic
Dental, and available to anyone in need of a charge.
If you’ve been thinking about switching to an electric
vehicle, you might be interested in knowing that according to the U.S
Department of Energy, hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles can help increase energy
security, improve fuel economy, lower fuel costs, and reduce emissions. When I
learned about the opportunity to install the charging stations, I thought it
was something we could provide our patients and neighbors, and if it encourages
more people to drive electric vehicles, that would be great too.
The Blink Pedestal port is a Level 2 (240 volt AC input)
charging station, with an industry standard connector, compatible with the
majority of EVs. The charging station is equipped to handle all types of
weather, and has a seven-inch LCD touch screen for easy use.
As an EV driver myself, I know the value of having
conveniently located charging stations. The two reserved EV parking spots are
not exclusive to patients, and can be accessed at all times. EV drivers can
even take advantage of the Blink app that sends a charging status update
directly to mobile devices.
We understand that not everyone is going to make the switch
to an EV, but we want to encourage everyone to think of changes they can make
that will help our environment. Whatever you do this April 22nd,
enjoy your day and do something green.
Charge up your EV at Artistic Dental located at 2333 E.
Campbell Avenue. For more information please call 602-840-5400.
