350Green will start deploying the EV charging stations, including 35 DC fast chargers, in late September 2011.

Early focus on EV infrastructure has been on installing charging equipment in homes and municipal garages.

A network of public charging stations, widely and conveniently located near where residents live and work makes EV ownership a realistic option for thousands more residents.

Walgreens Community Management and Operations president Mark Wagner said the conveniently located stores allow Walgreens to be able to help reduce concerns about accessibility.

350Green CEO Mariana Gerzanych said working with the city and Walgreens, the company expects its network can help accelerate the purchase and use of EVs in Los Angeles.

350Green is a project developer that designs, builds and operates a scalable, nationwide network of EV charging stations.
