GAINESVILLE, FL--July 29, 2011 -- Thanks to Walgreens, soon you won't need to get your electric vehicle back to your garage to recharge it.

Electric vehicle charging stations will be placed at about 800 Walgreens location by the end of 2011, the pharmacy giant announced this month. These charging stations aren't just benefiting those who drive a Nissan Leaf of Chevrolet Volt; you will also be able to charge your low speed electric vehicle.

Because one of the biggest challenges with electric vehicle was not being able to easily charge it, Walgreens' new high-speed direct and Level 2 chargers make it more plausible to own an electric vehicle. These charging stations will be popping up in major cities, including Boston, Denver, New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as select locations in Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington.

Walgreens isn't the only one making strides to offer better charging options for low-speed and full-speed electric vehicles. City Councilman Jack Kelly in Port St. Lucie is also pushing for new developments in the city to have connectivity spots for low speed vehicles and street legal golf carts, according to an article in TCPalm.com.
