Since 2007, we’ve been helping develop green transportation at Google and beyond. With our
RechargeIt initiative, we created a mini-fleet of plug-in hybrids and demonstrated EV technology. Just last year, we
announced a major expansion of our own EV charging infrastructure, and transitioned
Gfleet, our car-sharing program for Googlers, to an all plug-in fleet. And since then, we’ve more than tripled the number of faster
level 2 electric vehicle chargers to over 240 today, and have doubled Gfleet to 52 plug-in vehicles. With the largest corporate charging infrastructure in the US, we’re getting closer to our goal of electrifying 5% of our parking spaces at the Googleplex!
Along with our biodiesel shuttle program, which transports about 4,500 Googlers to campus and back home every day, our programs reduce the stress of commuting for employees and the need to build expensive parking. The net environmental savings are like taking 3,000 cars off the road.
