Kimco
Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM), the nation’s largest publicly-traded owner
and operator of neighborhood and community shopping centers, today
announced the opening of a Tesla
Motors Inc. (NYSE: TSLA) Supercharger
station at Kimco’s Gateway at Donner Pass shopping center in
Truckee, Calif.
“This new highly-anticipated Supercharger site allows customers to
charge their vehicle as they shop and dine at our center,” said David
Jamieson, vice president of leasing and asset management at Kimco. “We
consistently evaluate new opportunities to enhance the shopping
experience for our customers and providing charging stations for Tesla
owners seemed like the next smart choice.”
The station features six Supercharger bays with the ability to replenish
50 percent battery capacity for a Tesla Model S in as little as 20
minutes, which is 16 times faster than many of the public electric
charging stations now available. Situated behind the Safeway
supermarket, the charging bays will be open 24 hours a day.
Gateway
at Donner Pass, situated off of Interstate 80 (Exit 185) at the
intersection of Donner Pass Road and Frates Lane, is anchored by Safeway
and Rite Aid, along with several well-known national and regional
tenants including Starbucks, Verizon Wireless, Panda Express, and Round
Table Pizza.
