Vehicle charging systems provider 4825 ChargePoint has joined the Green Parking Council, a not-for-profit organisation providing leadership and oversight of the green conversion of parking facilities to sustainable, environmentally responsible assets.

ChargePoint is the world’s largest network of independently owned charging stations for electric vehicles. As GPC’s newest Bronze Level member ChargePoint will encourage new, alternative parking practices and green conversion of parking facilities for electric vehicles.

 “Electric vehicles will play a key role in reducing our dependency on foreign oil while improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said Paul Wessel, executive director, Green Parking Council. “Every month, the number of EV drivers continues to increase. As a result, offering EV charging services in your parking garage will soon no longer be optional. In 2012 alone, more than 50,000 new electric vehicles are being sold in the United States.”

“We are proud to be a sponsor of the Green Parking Council,” said Pat Romano president and CEO of ChargePoint. “GPC is the only organization to offer a sustainability certification to parking facilities. In addition to helping meet sustainability goals, parking operators who offer EV charging will have a distinct competitive advantage over those that do not provide these services.”
