Interest growing in car-charging station
LETHBRIDGE – A growing focus on environmental sustainability has prompted a Western Canadian business to provide car charging stations at their retail outlets, including the one in Lethbridge.
Peavey Mart is one of only three locations in our city where you can currently charge a vehicle.
“About four years ago [Peavey Mart] teamed up with a company out of Saskatchewan called Sun Country to set up electric charging stations at all of our stores,” explained Lethbridge store manager, Drew Gamble. “It’s something that’s taken a while to get going, but I think we are up to almost 100-per cent with all Peavey stores.”
Gamble noted that the local store was one of the first in the chain to receive a charging station, and that they have noticed an increase in usage since it was installed.
