CLEVELAND — Cleveland Clinic is installing additional electric vehicle charging stations this month, supported by a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
The stations are funded by a $3.25 million 2020 grant from the Ohio EPA through resources from the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust Fund.
The Ohio EPA selected 22 of the 40 Cleveland Clinic sites that met grant criteria to receive up to 62 ports/124 electric vehicle charging spaces last year. The sites were selected partly because of proximity to major roads, amenitites and existing chargers.
Site visits were conducted with local electric utilities and the installer, Blink Charging. Currently, Cleveland Clinic has 14 charging stations at four locations in northeast Ohio.
The stations will be publicly available for patients, caregivers and visitors and will be compatible with all current models of electric vehicles. The level two charging stations produce 80 amps of output—up to 65 miles of charge in an hour.
This initiative supports Cleveland Clinic’s commitment to clean air and healthy communities.
Avon, Euclid and Medina hospitals, Mentor Family Health Clinic, Strongsville Family Health Center and Willoughby Hills Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy are among the first wave of installations.
