Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) elected to participate in the
eVgo Ready for Electric Vehicle (REV) program. The REV program
provides qualified workplaces with turn-key EV charging solutions,
in addition to providing charger maintenance and driver support 24
hours a day. The Level 2 chargers, dedicated for the use of
individual employees, are compatible with all EVs, fully charge
most during the workday and integrate seamlessly with eVgo’s
comprehensive network of home and on-the-go charging stations
giving range confidence to EV drivers wherever they choose to
charge.
“Working with SPE, an iconic brand in entertainment and
technology, demonstrates that EV charging at work is no longer a
novelty; it is a necessity for the best employers.” said Terry
O’Day, Vice President of NRG eVgo in California. “As the largest
corporate electric vehicle charging program in Southern California,
SPE is joining the largest comprehensive EV charging network in the
greater Los Angeles area. NRG eVgo stands ready to partner with
other companies like SPE that are committed to making a difference
for their employees, their community and our environment.”
Beginning in 2008, SPE began offering eco-incentives to
employees who choose to purchase a qualifying hybrid, plug-in
hybrid electric or electric vehicle through its Alternative
Vehicles Incentive program. To date, over 300 vehicles have been
purchased through the program, with a daily average of 90 electric
and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles parking at the studio’s
headquarters in Culver City. This charging infrastructure supports
“Sony Pictures A Greener World” – the environmental initiative of
the studio – by empowering employees to choose more eco-friendly
ways of commuting.
Craig Schwartz, Senior Vice President, Global Facilities at SPE
commented, “The studio is always looking for ways to empower our
employees to be sustainable both at home and at work. Thanks in
part to the Alternative Vehicles Eco-Incentive, demand for EV
charging infrastructure was high and increasing. Our partnership
with NRG eVgo has been critical in helping our employees choose
these eco-friendly vehicles with the confidence of access to
charging at work.”
eVgo is building a comprehensive network of fast-charging sites
in the U.S. conveniently located along major transportation
corridors as well as the infrastructure to support charging at
multi-family residences and workplaces. The eVgo network is
designed to support EV drivers whenever and wherever they choose to
charge - at single family or apartment residences, at work, on the
road, or even at the airport.
