Ontario International Airport Installs New Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

    ONTARIO, Calif. - Six electric vehicle charging stations that will provide power to electric cars were installed in Ontario International Airport's Long-Term Lots 2 and 4.

    Each lot has three charger units and all electric vehicle slots -- equipped with van and handicap access -- offer free recharging.

    "We are pleased to introduce electric vehicle charging stations into ONT's ground operations," said Jens Rivera, ONT's airport manager. "The use of alternative-fuel vehicles -- including electric -- is good for the environment."

    Through a program with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), ONT will receive a $42,760 grant from SCAQMD for completing the installation of the charging stations by May 5.

    ONT is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports which also owns and operates Los Angeles International, Van Nuys and Palmdale Regional Airports. ONT is located approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles in Southern California's Inland Empire region encompassing San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
