Major department store to offer plug-in vehicle charging

One of the leading department stores in the USA – Kohl’s (logo, pictured) – is to extend its plug-in vehicle charging station initiative.

The store will offer 36 new stations across 18 new locations before the end of the year – including an expansion across the states of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin for the first time; as well as adding additional locations in Texas.

To assist with bringing the charging stations to its stores, Kohl’s has formed a two-year partnership with Duke Energy as part of Indiana’s Project Plug-in. This has already seen six charging stations installed at Kohl’s stores in Indiana this year. In addition, Kohl’s has expanded its partnership with electric vehicle charging station provider ECOtality to install 30 charging stations at 15 locations.

Charging stations are straightforward to use – all a driver needs is a radio frequency identification card that is available at the store’s customer service desk; or via a phone number that is provided at the charging station.

These latest additions will mean that Kohl’s customers will have access to 101 charging stations across 52 locations in 14 states.
