Nissan gets a charge out of Ecotality in Arizona

Posted by in Auto Green on 03 6th, 2009 | no responses

Ecotality , an electric transportation and storage company, has been big-timing it lately with the likes of Nissan . Together with the Pima Association of Governments ( PAG ), they have formed an EV Micro-Climate Working Group with a goal of making Pima County , which encompasses Tucson, Arizona, the charging-infrastructured home of many electric vehicles. When Nissan launches its electric car in 2010, they will make sure to have some of their battery-operated lovelies available for public and private fleets in the region while Ecotality is to help with the planning and installation of the charging stations. Although the project is being implemented to support the vehicles from Nissan, the public stations will meet charge system standards and be equipped with the J1772 connector that the Society of Engineers (SAE) has been working on . This should be the same plug other future electric cars will be equipped with. For older, pre-J1772 electric vehicles, we imagine adapters will be necessary. Full press release after the break.
