Arkansas to charge electric cars

Aug 4, 2011

College campuses in Arkansas will soon come with a new feature for students to boast: charging stations for electric cars.

Entergy Arkansas has now partnered with Coulomb Technologies to provide 16 charging stations at college campuses around the company’s service area. The first of these charging stations within the state is located on the campuses of the Clinton School of Public Service and the University of Arkansas School for Medical Sciences and are free for the public to use.
