“Charge It” takes on new meaning at Outrigger Enterprises Group

06-14-2012

WAIKIKI, OAHU, HAWAII – Charging an electric vehicle (EV) when travelling for business or on vacation with the family has never been easier. In its efforts to continue to support the State of Hawaii’s ongoing efforts for a cleaner and more sustainable future, Outrigger Enterprises Group today announced the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at ten of its Waikiki and Oahu properties. Working with manufacturer and charging station provider AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV), new EV charging stations are now available at the following locations:

 


·         Outrigger Reef on the Beach

·         Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach

·         OHANA Waikiki East

·         OHANA Waikiki West

·         OHANA Waikiki Malia

·         OHANA Honolulu Airport Hotel

·         Embassy Suites®-Waikiki Beach Walk®

·         Holiday Inn® Waikiki Beachcomber Resort

·         Ala Moana Hotel

·         Best Western® The Plaza Hotel

 

 


At least two parking spaces equipped with chargers for electric vehicles are now available in the parking garages at these ten Outrigger-managed or affiliated hotels on Oahu. Each space provides charging equipment that allows drivers to easily connect their EVs to Oahu’s electrical grid and “fill up” or “top off” their batteries with power while parked.

 

“These new EV charging stations give our visitors and residents an opportunity to drive more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly automobiles,” said David Lee, vice president of property services for Outrigger Enterprise Group. “They are just one of the ways Outrigger supports sustainable practices in the tourism and hospitality industries.”
