Google charges its employees for free

Google has told how much effort it invests in infrastructure for electric vehicles under the RechargeIt program. Interestingly, the work on this program began in 2007, when not a single plug-in hybrid (that is, which can be recharged from an outlet) or an electric car was sold on the market. Such is the foresight. But after four years, these machines have become the main driver of the development of the foreign car industry, who could imagine this recently?

Google was one of the first buyers of Toyota Prius cars and they specially inserted A123 Hymotion batteries there so that they could be recharged. This is how the corporate fleet of electric transport Gfleet appeared, which will consist of more than 30 cars of all manufacturers that only produce such equipment.

Over the past couple of years, Google has built around the office 221 ChargePoint electric station, in the near future it is going to supply another 250. For the company's employees, charging is free - for this reason, some have already specially bought electric cars.

Thus, Google is trying to contribute to environmental protection and to make parking around the office less noisy. They hope that soon up to 5% of all cars in the parking lot will work exclusively on electricity.
