Georgia Power Helps Bring Electric Vehicle Charging to VSU
VALDOSTA — Georgia Power has launched a 100 percent renewable, off-grid electric vehicle (EV) charging station at Valdosta State University. It is available for use by students, faculty, staff, retirees, alumni, and friends of the university starting today, with complimentary charging through April 18.
The EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) is solar powered and can be used 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in any kind of weather condition — even if there is a power outage in the area.
The charger is located at the Oak Street surface parking lot at the university, can charge up to two EVs at once, and tracks the sun’s patterns, generating and storing its own electricity.
Georgia Power is proud to partner with Valdosta State University to bring electric vehicle charging to South Georgia and along the I-75 travel corridor.
Georgia Power has installed more than 50 EV chargers in several cities across the Peach State, including Atlanta, Rome, Columbus, Lavonia, Kingsland, Tifton, Forest Park, and Milledgeville.
The company is committed to growing the electric vehicle market and is dedicated to providing customers with the resources they need to learn more about the benefits and potential savings of driving electric.
