Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that Google is joining the agency's effort to promote electric vehicles by providing consumers with accurate and up-to-date information on the locations of charging stations. The charging station locator will be similar to the popular Google Maps program.
Here is an excerpt from the press release:
"DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is joining with Google Inc. and various industry leaders to provide consumers with consistent, up-to-date information about the EV charging stations in communities nationwide. Drawing on Google Maps, this new collaboration will coordinate an online network of all U.S. charging stations and will serve as the primary data source for GPS and mapping services tracking electric vehicle charging locations."
