Georgia Power has launched a 100% renewable, off-grid electric vehicle (EV) charging station at Valdosta State University.

The EV charger is available for use by students, staff and the general public starting today, with complimentary charging through April 18th. 

The EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) is solar powered and can be used 24/7, in any kind of weather condition – even if there is a power outage in the area. The charger is located at the Oak Street surface parking lot at the university, can charge up to two EVs at once, and tracks the sun’s patterns, generating and storing its own electricity.

Georgia Power is proud to partner with Valdosta State University to bring electric vehicle fast charging to South Georgia and along the I-75 travel corridor. Charging sessions require ChargePoint authorization, which is available at www.georgiapower.chargepoint.com

Georgia Power has installed more than 50 EV chargers in several cities including Atlanta, Rome, Columbus, Lavonia, Kingsland, Tifton, Forest Park and Milledgeville. The company is committed to growing the electric vehicle market and is dedicated to providing customers with the resources they need to learn more about the benefits and potential savings of driving electric.
