With automakers investing billions of dollars into EVs (electric vehicles), it is clear the future of the car will be electric. With all of these new vehicles hitting the road the infrastructure to usher in this cleaner future is vital. Promote Sustainability: EVs are zero emissions vehicles, making the air in your town cleaner. The electric motors in EVs are also silent meaning less noise pollution and a quieter more peaceful automotive presence. Be a Leader: Public charging is a necessity as EVs continue to increase in usage. Hosting EV charging not only allows you to reap the benefits of EVs but also lead the way in sustainable transportation by being one of the first cities in the state with public charging. Get on the map: By adding EV charging you will drive more traffic to your location. As EV drivers will have to charge their cars they will stop at places that offer this amenity. Each charger installed will be visible on all of the available charging apps, Google maps, Waze and others showing the world that you are a sustainable destination. Generate revenue: Whether owned directly by you or working with us as a site host, you will collect revenue from every charge. Just like drivers pay for parking, EV owners can use their smartphone to easily pay for their charging session. Newsletter Packet Page 3 2 Why HAGE Automotive?
