The PEV charging stations are free and accessible to the public, and are currently installed at the utility’s Jackson headquarters; at its Parnall Road Office Complex in Jackson County; at its Grand Rapids, Lansing and Royal Oak service centers; and on Lake Drive in Grand Rapids’ East Hills neighborhood.
Consumers Energy also plans to install PEV charging station at Kalamazoo service center.
Consumers Energy officials say the PEV charging stations are meant to ease the transition to PEV ownership and accommodate increased customer demand for PEVs and PEV infrastructure.
Consumers Energy smart grid development vice president Sue Swan said as interest in and demand for PEVs continues to increase, the availability of PEV charging stations is the latest in a variety of initiatives designed to ensure the customers have access to the infrastructure they need to be plug-in ready.
