No Charge to Charge! Free Electric Vehicle Chargers in Hyattsville - YouTube

We've been working with the city of Hyattsville

to bring these charging stations

level 3 DC fast chargers

and level 2 charging stations and

It's really cool, after about a year of working together here they are. I'm very excited.

Hyattsville is a sustainable community, it's something that

we believe in and certainly we think that having some EV charging stations is consistent

with our mission and goals and certainly responsive to the people who live here, work here and want to grab a bite to eat here

We feel that this no charge to charge model encourages people

To adopt electric vehicles and adopt electric drive. The idea of

driving electric is now a possibility.

We got this car about a month ago and

We were delighted to find the city welcoming us with these EV spots.

We actually come here certain days, we make excuses like "Hey do you want to go get coffee and maybe like

like go get some free charging?". We really appreciate it.

We see these chargers as a way to be responsive to our consumers,

our residents here. Visiting and shopping down in Hyattsville, enjoying our restaurants

Certainly having free energy for your vehicle beats having to pay $4 at the pump.

A local Police Department is making history after purchasing an electric cruiser and motorcycle for it's officers

Well the reason the Police Department decided to get an electric police vehicle

the city of Hyattsville in general has been for a very long time a very progressive

community that has been working hard to become more environmentally friendly

and the most obvious way they have done that in the last 10-15 years is by reducing

the amount of carbon emissions that are spewed from the tailpipes of gasoline powered automobiles

Because we are a medium sized city we have a lot of vehicles here used by the city

for police, public works, code enforcement, parking enforcement, etc...

and in the past 10 or so years the city has acquired several all electric

vehicles, they are called low speed vehicles that are used by parking and code enforcement.

But we have not had anything in the police department specifically that was all electric

And the goal here was to get an all electric vehicle

turn it into a police car and see how it would hold up to the rigors of police work

and whether or not the range of the charged battery could handle day-to day law enforcement and patrolling of the streets of the city

We're here in Hyattsville, MD for the Electric Car Show

September is the month that they really concentrate on

on electric cars and being green

I have never been in Hyattsville before today and I think it is fantastic!

So here is your charger

Why did I get an EV car? I always liked the idea of not having to use gas.

This is ny 2nd year being here. I'm very happy.

A lot more people here this year than last year. It seems to be growing.

I think it is fantastic that Hyattsville is putting free electric chargers in my neighborhood.

It speaks well of the Arts District. We are suppose to be sustainability focused

or energy efficient community and this just takes it up another notch.

Chatter

You're gonna see chargers popping up everywhere!

I have used the chargers in Hyattsville twice

because I come up here occasionally to meet colleagues

or friends for brunch so I will pull into the municipal lots and charge my car.

Hyattsville has stepped into the 21st century

Hyattsville is recognizing that the world is changing and that they are going to be leaders in this.
