LEED Gold Certified InterContinental San Francisco Selected California-based ParkPod to Provide Car Charging for the Property's Zipcar Hybrid Electric Vehicle. The Hotel's Certification and the ParkPod-Charged Vehicle were Celebrated at an Event Held Tuesday at the Hotel's Downtown San Francisco Location.
California-based ParkPod announced Tuesday the selection of one of its electric vehicle charger models by a premier luxury hotel, the InterContinental San Francisco.
The InterContinental San Francisco property, recently awarded LEED Gold certification by the US Green Building Council for its operational efficiency and minimization of environmental impact, will now feature a ParkPod charger in support of a Zipcar Hybrid Electric Vehicle, to be stationed full-time at the hotels downtown San Francisco location.
Tom Brigham, ParkPods Vice President of Business Development North America, commented on the partnership. Were thrilled to play a part in the InterContinental San Franciscos initiative and offer our congratulations to them on achieving LEED Gold certification. ParkPod is committed to helping our partners generate real business value from the provision of electric vehicle charging, and this is a perfect example. We look forward to a great relationship with the Intercontinental San Francisco and City Park.
As the InterContinental San Franciscos parking management provider, City Park made the direct investment in the charging station and will manage its day-to-day operations. Director of Sales and Marketing, Spencer Sechler, said, We are happy to be involved in the project at the InterContinental, as both companies values regarding green practices are truly aligned. Looking forward, we are leading the charge to pursue additional opportunities at the other fine hotels we serve, and see electric vehicle charging stations as one of the amenities that benefits the hotels, their guests, and our community.
Clean transportation industry analysts have long agreed that wide availability of charging is a critical factor determining the degree of mainstream electric vehicle adoption, and to date, the hospitality industry, with its view to guest amenities and green business, has led the way. The InterContinental San Francisco supports ongoing efforts to be responsible and sustainable in every area of our business, says InterContinental San Francisco General Manager Peter Koehler. Having a Zipcar Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicle charged by ParkPod on property further demonstrates our commitment to advancing green business and consumer practices.
The InterContinental San Franciscos LEED Gold certification, as well as the ParkPod-charged Zipcar, were featured at a celebration event held this week at the hotels downtown location.
