Florida Power & Light unveils mobile EV charging station
In Florida, The Palm Beach Post reported that Florida Power & Light (FPL) unveiled its own mobile electric-vehicle charging station to be used during hurricane evacuations, in areas with power outages and in other scenarios. “We want to make sure that EV drivers are confident in their choice using FPL’s EVolution network, and being able to deploy these trailers will help them in an evacuation scenario,” said Mary Alice Jackson, project director of development for FPL. “So we want to make sure that we’re just really providing all that confidence to EV drivers.” According to the report, the utility plans to have a second mobile charging station ready for use sometime during this hurricane season. FPL recently tested the mobile charging station in Fort Pierce during a planned outage at one of its EV charging stations. The location of the mobile charging station will be posted on the FPL EVolution app, according to the report.
