WATTERS CREEK INSTALLS ELETRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS

Allen, Texas (October 4, 2011) - Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a resort-style mixed-use center, is pleased to announce the installation of two electronic vehicle (EV) charging stations located in the parking garage below Market Street grocery.  The Blink™ commercial pedestal-style chargers, installed by ECOtality, Inc., allows EV drivers to conveniently charge while they enjoy their time at the center. The charging stations have the capability to “top off” or partially charge a customer’s EV in one to four hours. The chargers will provide free power and can be used by any EV or plug-in hybrid currently on the market as well as those released in the future (Nissan LEAF, Chevy Volt, Ford Focus EV, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Tesla Model S).

Watters Creek has a long-standing commitment to green technology and the environment.  When the property opened in 2008 it was the first retail center in the state of Texas to be LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
