Seattle’s green movement isn’t just sustainable – it’s electric, with roughly 2,500 electric car charging stations around the city by next year.

The charging stations around Seattle will be funded by a $100 million federal grant to the Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation, according to an article in the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Before you can charge your car to hit the road, you need a chargeable car, right? Nissan has already selected Seattle as the test market for LEAF – an electric vehicle with zero emissions.

“It’s kind of the chicken versus the egg thing. You don’t put charging stations in before you have the vehicle, but you won’t get the vehicles if you don’t have the charging stations,” said Ron Posthuma, the director of King County’s Department of Transportation, in the article.

Charge now to create change for the environment’s future.
