Electric Car Charging
IDA International is the
first location in the State of CT to offer free electric car charging to
the public. |
|
Review the information below if you plan on
taking advantage of this. |
|
Outlet |
A NEMA 14-50 outlet serves 208volts,
40amps.
A NEMA 5-15 outlet serves 110volts,
15amps. |
|
Cord or "Quickcharge" |
There is no cord or adapter plug on site,
only the accessible weather proof outlet. It is expected that the
operator has their own equipment to plug into the respective outlets
available. |
|
Cost |
There is no charge, fee or permit to
electric car owners to "fill-up" from our outlet. Our
Photo-Voltaic Solar array generates more electricity than we consume,
and thus your electricity is "free". |
|
Availability |
The outlets are accessible 24/7. Our
company electric vehicle (Tesla Roadster) receives priority during
workday hours (M-F 8-5), but we make accommodation for travelers who
need to top-off. |
|
Liability, Acceptability,
Responsibility |
If you are not a "Tenant" or "Employee" of
the "Owner" of the property, you are a "Visitor". Visitor's may
only use these outlets for charging electric vehicles. Visitor's
are solely responsible for proper use of the outlet and any equipment
plugged into it. The Owner and Tenant make no claim on the
suitability for the outlet to accept a specific plug or equipment.
The Owner and Tenant are not responsible and accept no liability for
Visitor use of outlet. Visitor use of outlet is at your own risk. |
|
Charge Time |
We are a manufacturing business in an
industrial park. While your vehicle charges, you can:
-
Dine at
Apollo Pizza across the street from us.
-
Walk .5 mile east on Roosevelt Drive
to downtown Derby's
Riverwalk at Bridge Street, Derby, CT.
-
Walk 1.1 miles west on Roosevelt Drive
(look for State Park sign on Lakeview Terrace) to enjoy the
Kellogg Environmental Center and Osborne Homestead Museum at 500
Hawthorne Avenue, Derby, CT. This venue is on the State of
Connecticut's "Historic Gardens Trail", and the "Women's Heritage
Trail". (Note: its a free state park and gardens, donations
