Electric Vehicle Charging Station Now Available in Georgetown Garage

Bring your electric car to Georgetown and get free charging for the next three months, thanks to EastBanc, Inc. and Jamestown. According to a press release, the two real estate investment companies are opening an electric vehicle (EV) charging station at their 3307 M Street, NW Georgetown Renaissance property. Housed at the PMI Parking Garage, the station will be fully operational and open to the public on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

The new M Street station marks the first public electric vehicle charging station installed in Georgetown. Not far from M Street, Georgetown University recently installed two, private, 220-volt charging stations in one of the on-campus parking garages. Toyota gave the University two lithium-ion battery powered plug-in cars as part of test-drive program.

Now, electric car owners will be able to drive into the M Street EV Charging Station and recharge their electric power-driven vehicle while they shop and run errands.

For the first three months of operation, EastBanc and Jamestown will cover all charging costs. After the initial complimentary three-month period, the cost to charge electric vehicles at the charging station will run $0.50 - $1.50.

This effort confirms our commitment to environmental improvement and efforts to help reduce the eco-impact of carbon dioxide emissions in Georgetown, says Anthony Lanier, president of EastBanc, in a prepared statement. Investing in this novel infrastructure not only benefits the air we breathe but favors sustainable practices as well.

The station is a SemaConnects ChargePro, which offers Level 2 (240 VAC/ 30 amps) and can charge all new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles with a J1772 inlet.
