BLOOMINGTON, Minn.,
Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- LMC, a leader in apartment development and management,
today announced the addition of electric vehicle charging from
ChargePoint, Inc., the world's largest EV charging network, to
IndiGO at BCS, a luxury apartment community located in Bloomington, Minn.
The six-story, 395-apartment development features 13 EV charging
spots that are leasable for residents, who have already started
utilizing the spaces, and two public spots open to visitors. The 15
total places to charge at IndiGO at BCS mark ChargePoint's largest
installation of EV charging spots outside of Seattle and California.
"We do everything we can to check every box on a prospective
resident's wish list, and we're seeing a growing trend of electric
vehicle drivers in the Minneapolis/St.
Paul metro area," said Travis
Nordgaard, development associate for LMC. "We are extremely
excited about the partnership with ChargePoint and the opportunity
it gives LMC to demonstrate green, sustainable values."
EV sales increased by 37 percent in 2016, according to
Forbes, and the Midwest has been
part of that boom. LMC partnered with the City of Bloomington to invest in EV charging,
providing publically accessible charging options not only for
residents of IndiGO at BCS, but for visitors and nearby office
users as well.
Electric vehicle drivers will have the luxury of modern
convenience through ChargePoint's mobile app, which allows users to
find an available charging spot, start a charge, receive
notifications, track and schedule charging sessions, and manage
energy usage. In addition to helping attract prospective residents,
EV charging helps a community reduce its carbon footprint.
"ChargePoint designs, develops, and manufactures charging
solutions for every scenario, at work, home, around town and on a
trip, and we are excited to expand our network in the Twin Cities area," said Michael Jones, vice president, Sales,
ChargePoint, Inc. "Our mission is to help get every driver behind
the wheel of an electric vehicle and partnerships with progressive
companies like LMC support that mission while providing even more
amenities for residents."
Situated at 8001 33rd Avenue South, IndiGO at BCS benefits from
a central, commuter-friendly location adjacent to light rail
stations, such as Bloomington Central Station and the Mall of
America station. The EV charging hubs complement the suite of
transportation options provided by the community, which features
quick access to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport and several major thoroughfares,
including Interstate 494 and Routes 77 and 5.
IndiGO at BCS, which opened in 2016, is one of three communities
LMC has developed in Minnesota.
LMC is in the process of adding EV stations to the other two: Onyx
Edina, which opened in 2016 in Edina; and Nordhaus, which will open
Aug. 5 in Minneapolis. It's part of LMC's commitment to
offer the latest technologies and situate its communities with
access to as many transit opportunities as possible.
IndiGO at BCS consists of studio, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartment
homes ranging in square footage from 528 to 1,528. Community
amenities include a club room, state-of-the-art fitness center,
conference room, Zen garden, outdoor movie screen, outdoor pool,
rooftop sky lounge, pet park with heated walkway, pet washing
stations, four separate courtyards, 24/7 package lockers and sky
room bar area with lounge seating. Apartment interiors are equipped
with hardwood-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, USB
ports, full-size washers and dryers, oversized sound-reducing glass
windows and private balconies.
ChargePoint is the only charging company that offers a complete
suite of EV charging products designed to serve EV drivers
everywhere they go: at home, at work, around town and on a trip. A
combination of residential chargers and commercial charging
solutions designed for all verticals are laying the foundation for
a future where electric mobility is convenient for anyone,
everywhere they go.
