Target teams up with Tesla, Chargepoint, Electrify America to expand EV charging program
More Target stores in the United States will offer electric vehicle (EV) charging as the discount retailer expands its EV program to more than 600 parking spaces at over 100 sites across more than 20 states.
Currently, Target has EV chargers at 18 sites in California, Hawaii, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Texas, having partnered with ChargePoint since 2012 and with Tesla since 2017.
Throughout 2018 and 2019, the retailer will continue to work with ChargePoint, Tesla, and its newest partner, Electrify America, to install charging stations in the parking lots at more than 100 stores and other Target properties.
“Accelerating our efforts to install new charging stations...is one way we’re building on our commitment to investing in solutions that leave our communities better for future families,” said John Leisen, vice president, Property Management, Target.
The program also aims to provide more convenient shopping experience as well as advance its commitment to carbon reduction.
Named as the top corporate solar installer in the US two years in a row, Target is set to have 500 stores with rooftop solar panels by 2020.
