Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera Attends Ribbon Cutting for New Electric Vehicle Charging Station in Wellington

WELLINGTON – Today, Colorado Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera attended a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of Kum & Go’s new electric vehicle charging station in Wellington, part of the Polis-Primavera administration’s Electric Vehicle Corridors project. Lt. Governor Primavera was joined by Will Toor, Colorado Energy Office Executive Director; Troy Hannan, Mayor of Wellington; Ken Kleemeier, Kum & Go VP of Fuels; and Anne Smart, ChargePoint VP of Public Policy. 

“Colorado is committed to reducing transportation-related pollution to create a cleaner Colorado for all. Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout our state, including the latest addition in Wellington at Kum & Go, play a key role in getting more EVs on the road while also directly reducing pollution from emissions, keeping our state beautiful and clean,” said Lt. Governor Primavera. “I thank the Town of Wellington,  ChargePoint and Kum & Go for partnering with the state to increase charging options for EV drivers and ensure Coloradans and visitors alike can drive anywhere in the state in an EV.”

The Polis-Primavera administration has set long-term goals to reduce vehicle emissions and mitigate the health and climate impacts of transportation pollution. The EV Corridors project comprises high-speed charging stations at 34 locations across the state developed as a partnership with ChargePoint and site hosts such as local governments, utilities and private companies, like Kum & Go in Wellington.
