Safeway to add free electric vehicle chargers at downtown Bethesda store

Electric vehicle owners in Bethesda may soon have another reason to shop at Safeway. The grocery chain's 5000 Bradley Boulevard store in downtown Bethesda is installing electric vehicle chargers that will allow shoppers to charge up for free. Costs of electricity are covered by digital advertising displayed at the charging stations.

The chargers will be from the San Francisco-based firm Volta. According to the firm, their charging stations are Level 2 chargers with J1772 connector plugs. Volta stations can provide up to 6 kW power delivery. This should provide about 20 free electric miles per hour of charging, depending on your EV model.
