EOS Linx, an owner and operator of a growing, national electric
vehicle (EV) charging network, has partnered with Clayton County
Public Schools (CCPS) in Jonesboro, Georgia to install EV charging
stations at schools across the district.
The installations, completed during the 2023-2024 school year,
showcase the EOS Linx Aurora™ Charge Stations. The Aurora™
incorporates multiple EV chargers on each station, as well as a 75”
digital out-of-home display for community messaging and
advertising. The deployment also includes additional L2 chargers,
the EOS Nova™, to increase charging opportunities at each location.
In total, the customized EV charging solution includes sixty-one
(61) L2 charging sockets across 12 deployment locations.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Clayton County Public
Schools system to bring EV chargers to 11 high schools and the CCPS
administrative office. This relationship allows EOS to provide EV
charging to a growing population of EV drivers in the heart of
Clayton County and support community initiatives through targeted
messaging, unique to each charging location. We look forward to
bringing this program to other school districts throughout the
country and supporting the buildout of EV charging infrastructure,”
says EOS Linx CEO, Blake Snider.
Clayton County Public Schools embodies a district-wide theme of
Building a Better Tomorrow, Today. Through an innovative,
technology-based, STEM & STEAM approach to education and focus
on sustainability with EV charging, CCPS provides boundless
opportunities for its students to be prepared to live and succeed
in a global economy. EOS Linx is excited to work with Clayton
County schools to promote this shared vision of building a better
tomorrow.
“Speaking for our Board of Education, our more than 51,000
students, and over 7,000 employees, I offer profound thanks to the
EOS Linx leadership for entering into the partnership,” said Dr.
Anthony W. Smith, CCPS Superintendent/CEO of Schools. “The
placement of these electric vehicle charging stations at locations
throughout the district will reap benefits beyond our expectations
and is evidence of our commitment to serve as an economic
development catalyst for the benefit of Clayton County.”
