(Elk Horn) Travelers driving hybrid and electric vehicles between Omaha and Des Moines can unplug and recharge at the same time by hopping off the interstate at exit 54 and taking a short drive north on the Western Skies Scenic Byway to the Danish Windmill in Elk Horn.
The Danish Windmill recently replaced its electric vehicle charging stations with a new ChargePoint® CT4000 dual port station which features intelligent power management options and allows two charging ports to share the same electrical circuit. The project was funded in part by the Mike & Lou Howard Foundation. Mike Howard brought the first electric car charging stations to Elk Horn in 2009.
The new unit is driver-friendly and features an instructional video showing how to use the station in multiple languages giving drivers the choice of English, French or Spanish. You can access 24/7 driver phone support. The station is accessible 24/7. The CT4000 is the first ENERGY STAR® certified EV charger. It charges efficiently and conserves power when not charging.
