NREL's mission is to develop renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and practices, advance related science and engineering, and transfer knowledge and innovations.
A 1,800-car parking garage at NREL's South Table Mountain Campus includes 36 charging stations. In addition to fulfilling its primary function, the garage enables NREL researchers to test various plug-in electric vehicle charging scenarios on the utility electrical distribution network.
In addition to the research purpose, staff use of the charging stations: Helps meet federal Scope 3 GHG goals; Minimizes the laboratory's environmental footprint; and Supports our sustainable campus vision.
