FPL unveils new way to charge EVs during power outages or evacuation situations
In Florida, Space Coast Daily reported that Florida Power & Light Company is unveiling a new way for electric vehicle drivers to charge their EVs during power outages, public emergencies, or evacuation situations.
The company had previously showcased a new 39-foot EV fast-charging trailer that can be deployed strategically in the state to help drivers charge up and get back on the road, according to the report.
“The new mobile EV trailer makes charging available to drivers during a planned evacuation, as they are making their way out of a storm’s path, or after a hurricane,” said Tim Oliver, vice president of FPL Development. “This new technology in FPL’s storm preparedness toolkit will help EV drivers better prepare for emergencies.”
The new EV fast-charging trailer can charge as many as six vehicles at any given time, providing up to 4,000 miles of fast charging before needing to replenish its battery.
