Standard Lithium (SLI) and South Arkansas Community College recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil six new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Standard Lithium partnered with Entergy, Adopt a Charger, and South Arkansas Community College on the installation of the six Level 2 – 240 volt EVCS charging stations, free for public use, located near the Murphy Arts District in downtown El Dorado, AR.
“It’s a privilege for us to sponsor this project along with our partners and South Arkansas Community College,” stated Robert Mintak, CEO and Director at Standard Lithium.
“Access to EV charging helps build local economies by attracting tourism and encouraging people to spend more time at local businesses and city facilities while they charge their vehicles,” he added.
“SouthArk is very pleased to partner with Standard Lithium to bring free-to-use EV charging stations to downtown El Dorado,” noted Bentley Wallace, President, South Arkansas Community College.
“This new amenity will bring additional visitors to our area, driving tourism, business travel, and economic development that wouldn’t have occurred without this investment,” noted Bentley Wallace, President, South Arkansas Community College.
“When people spot an EV driving down the road, they don’t automatically notice that the vehicle runs on electricity,” said Kitty Adams, Executive Director of Adopt a Charger.
“They do see, however, when electric vehicles are plugged into charging stations at places they like to go, and have the opportunity to ask drivers about their EV experience,” she added.
Standard Lithium is a technology and lithium development company.
Adopt a Charger is a nonprofit organization founded in March 2011 to accelerate the widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles by broadening charging infrastructure.
Entergy Arkansas provides electricity to approximately 700,000 customers in 63 counties.
South Arkansas Community College is a comprehensive public community college located in El Dorado, Arkansas, offering credit-based instruction leading to degrees and certificates of completion.
Shares of Standard Lithium Ltd are up 3.29 per cent, trading at $7.85 at 4:30 pm ET.
