Hotel at Kirkwood offers electric vehicle recharging station
Guests and visitors to The Hotel at Kirkwood Center can take advantage of a new amenity -- an electric vehicle recharging station.
The Level 2 charger, one of only a few installed for public use in Eastern Iowa, will completely charge a dead battery in four hours. For now, Kirkwood Community College is making the charger available at no cost to guests and visitors to the campus.
The City of Cedar Rapids provided $12,000 from an Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant program for the project, with Kirkwood covering the additional $2,500.
Anyone who owns an electric vehicle will be able to use the hotel's parking stall with the charging station to recharge their vehicle.
