Free Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Businesses Now Available Through Leaders for Clean Air

Expansion of Utah’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure made
possible through partnership with Rocky Mountain Power

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Utah–Leaders for Clean Air (LFCA) today announced a partnership with Rocky
Mountain Power to increase the electric vehicle (EV) charging
infrastructure in Utah. Available immediately, LFCA is providing
qualified businesses across the Wasatch Front a Level 2 EV Charger, free
of charge. An
online form is provided to register.

Workplace EV charging stations address current market barriers to the
adoption of alternative fuel vehicles. Studies show that when workplace
charging is available, consumers are six times more likely to drive an
EV. LFCA works to encourage adoption of zero-emissions vehicles to
result in cleaner air.

Rocky Mountain Power is leading the cleaner technology trend for a
healthier environment by providing incentives for an EV charging
infrastructure and educating drivers on the benefits of electric
vehicles. Through a partnership with LFCA, businesses along the Wasatch
Front have immediate access to Level 2 EV chargers. According to Rocky
Mountain Power Electric Vehicles Program Manager Shawn Grant, “Utah’s
electric vehicle charging network is expected to grow quite extensively,
positioning the state as a nationwide leader in alternative-fuel
programs.”

The business model used by LFCA addresses current market barriers to the
adoption of alternative fuel vehicles, and accomplishes the goal of
advancing zero tailpipe emissions along the Wasatch Front. The
non-profit organization was conceived and led by Packsize CEO Hanko
Kiessner, who partnered with Utah Paperbox President Steve Keyser and
3Form CEO Talley Goodson to form Leaders for Clean Air.

ABOUT LEADERS FOR CLEAN AIR

In 2012, Packsize® International CEO Hanko Kiessner decided to take on
the issue of air quality along the Wasatch Front. Recognizing the Utah’s
poor air quality while growing Packsize in Salt Lake City, Kiessner
looked at the viability of switching to electric vehicles (EVs) to help
curb pollution. He began driving an electric car and then wanted others
to enjoy the experience and benefits, so he took the idea to the
workplace. Today, Packsize has installed more than 35 EV chargers to
keep pace with employee demand at its On Demand Packaging® headquarters.
Kiessner joined Steve Keyser and Talley Goodson to form Leaders for
Clean Air, launching the non-profit, private-sector initiative in 2015.
