The charging ports are a part of the EV Project, a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy and the private firm ECOtality. The ports will be installed at Best Buy stores in Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz. More stores could be added, depending on whether Best Buy shoppers use the test ports.
Best Buy sells electric bicycles, scooters and a motorcycle at select stores, too. There’s no word if the Blink EV charging stations the company will use are compatible with its own products.
