“It is critical that we move forward with technology, and keep up with the most current needs of our travelers.”Ĭharging units are popping up at hotels, restaurants, retail sites and tourist attractions around the nation. “We are pleased to be one of the first public facilities in the region to offer EV Charging service to those customers who have an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle,” said Bruce Carter, Director of Aviation for the Quad City International Airport. When completed, the installations will increase the number of away-from-home charging locations in the Quad Cities area to six, complementing existing facilities at the parking garage near the Rock Island City Parking Ramp, Lujack’s Nissan Dealership, Courtesy Car City and Tri-City Electric. Genesis Health System is also participating in the project, and will install two of the same type of units at its new Medical Center being built on a brownfield site in Moline.
The new EV charging units are the result of a partnership between the Quad City International Airport and Delta Institute, a Chicago-based non-profit environmental and economic development organization, initiated by the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce.
The installation is part of a broader effort to expand the charging infrastructure to support anticipated growth in electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle use over the next five to 10 years. Each dual charging unit has the capacity to charge two vehicles in 4 – 6 hours.
