Turning EV Charging into a Premium Experience with SmartFlower at Chuck Hutton Toyota
Four SmartFlowers bloomed at the launch of Electri-CITY Park, a first-of-its-kind solar-powered EV charging hub. This hub features custom-branded SmartFlowers at Chuck Hutton Toyota’s Whitehaven location in Memphis, Tennessee. This initiative spotlights the dealership’s commitment to sustainability and elevating the consumer’s experience. Electri-CITY Park is a state-of-the-art EV charging destination that offers a next-level charging experience, designed to be as convenient as traditional gas stations.
The SmartFlowers power nearly all the dealership’s operations, and the on-site power helps to cut energy costs. Also, any excess energy produced can be sold back to the local grid. Chuck Hutton is meeting growing consumer demand for EVs with the installation of solar-powered EV charging stations. These stations make it convenient for customers and employees to charge their EVs while also encouraging the use of renewable energy.
Electri-CITY Park is more than just charging, though; the vision is to be a multi-faceted place where drivers can recharge. The initial phase talks of a dog park, modern facilities, entertainment, relaxation zones, and workspaces. “We aimed to create a comfortable and convenient stopping point,” says Chuck Hutton Toyota Dealer Principle Young Kim, “ensuring EV charging is as effortless as gas refueling.”
