Thought to be the first such station in Bartow, it will be available for other electric car owners to use on a fee-basis, as well as saving fuel and maintenance costs for the company.

This Nissan Leaf car was leased for a two-year-period by A-C-T Environmental and Infrastructure, for use at their Bartow corporate headquarters. The company, which was named Green Company of the Year by the Bartow Chamber of Commerce Committee of 100, recently installed an electric car-charging station for their use, and for other electric-car drivers to access on a fee-basis.
A-C-T Environmental and Infrastructure Inc. as Bartow’s Green Business of the Year, recently installed an electric vehicle charging station at their corporate headquarters. The station is not only for charging up the company’s Nissan Leaf automobile, a fully electric leased vehicle, but also will be available to other drivers for a small fee, said A-C-T President Rob Kincart.
“We thought if we were going to talk the talk, we should walk the walk,” Kincart said of the earth-friendly company’s decision to lease the rechargeable vehicle which will go the equivalent of 92 miles per gallon on the highway and 106 miles per gallon in the city. Only there are no “gallons”: The car operates strictly from battery power.
