EAST DUBUQUE, Ill. and ROCKDALE, Ill., Sept. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Crescent Electric Supply Company has selected its Rockdale, Illinois facility to install its first electric vehicle charging station as part of the company's nationwide program to support the installation, training and service of EV supply equipment. One of thirteen Illinois locations, Crescent Electric's Rockdale branch is located at 1867 Crescent Way, near the intersection of S. Larkin and Moen Avenue.
"The EV charger, supplied by Leviton Manufacturing Company, will be used to train electrical contractors, business owners and municipal agencies on proper installation, operation and maintenance procedures," noted Joe McDermott, Crescent Electric's Chicago-area district manager. "We are committed to support our local communities and their sustainability initiatives to reduce petroleum usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting an EV infrastructure fits perfectly into those plans."
