Sunspeed Enterprises, an electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure company based in Northern California, has added another EV charging station to its SunTrail Route, a planned network of 30-40 EV charge hubs on California's Pacific Coast Highway.
The nationally recognized Madonna Inn, located in San Luis Obispo, Calif., is the latest coastal installation point to offer EV drivers charging flexibility as they travel up and down tourist friendly Highway 1.
"The Madonna Inn is quite possibly the most well known hotel on California's Central Coast," said Richard Sachen, CEO of Sunspeed Enterprises. "It is the ideal location for our SunTrail charging hub because of its proximity to lodging, restaurants, shopping, and hiking.
Furthermore, the area is known for embracing clean, sustainable energy practices. The zero-emissions charge hub will not only benefit the abundance of tourists that frequent the area, but also the environmentally conscious residents of San Luis Obispo."
"Madonna Inn is excited to partner with Sunspeed Enterprises to offer state-of-the-art electric vehicle charging," said Clint Pearce, Madonna Enterprise President.
"We are proud that this amenity is available to our guests as it provides convenience while helping to lessen carbon emissions. It fits perfectly with the high quality, creative hospitality that Madonna Inn is known for."
The charging hub will be located in the southwest corner near the hotel's entrance off Madonna Road. Construction on the site began in March, and is expected to be complete by the end of April.
Once finalized, the SunTrail charge hub will include DC fast-charging options for EV drivers that need a quick charge, and medium speed charging for those planning on staying in the area for a longer period of time.
