FPL EVolution<\/a>.<\/p>\nSince its founding in 1955, Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium has been committed to marine research that promotes sustainable use of our oceans, In addition to the world-class research and conservation efforts that include restoring degraded reefs in the Florida Keys, restocking vulnerable fish populations, working towards solutions that fight Florida red tide, and more, Mote\u2019s campuses have adopted \u201cgreen\u201d practices that can lessen our impact on the environment. Some of these practices range from staff-led beach cleanups, on-campus composting, and eliminating single-use plastics from the Aquarium diner and gift shop. Mote\u2019s EV charging stations, part of FPL Evolution, are frequently utilized by staff, volunteers, Aquarium visitors, or even drivers visiting nearby Ken Thompson Park on City Island. The stations are available at no-cost to the user.<\/p>\n
EVs offer a variety of benefits to the driver, including reduced carbon emissions and increased savings! Tag @motemarinelab and @fplconnect next time you plug in!<\/p>\n
About Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium:<\/h4>\n
Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, based in Sarasota, Florida, has conducted marine research since its founding as a small, one-room laboratory in 1955. Since then, Mote has grown to encompass more than 20 research and conservation programs that span the spectrum of marine science: sustainable aquaculture systems designed to alleviate growing pressures on wild fish populations; red tide research that works to inform the public and mitigate the adverse effects of red tide with innovative technologies; marine animal science, conservation and rehabilitation programs dedicated to the protection of animals such as sea turtles, manatees and dolphins; and much more. Mote Aquarium, accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, is open 365 days per year.

About FPL Evolution:<\/h4>\n
FPL plans to install more than 1,000 charging points at more than 100 locations across the state, which could increase the current availability of charging stations by more than 50%. In addition to encouraging drivers to go electric, FPL EVolution charging infrastructure will collect valuable data to help FPL further advance electric transportation and prepare for the future when one in four cars sold on the road are expected to be electric by 2025.<\/p>\n
EV drivers can download the FPL EVolution app to find and navigate the closest FPL charging station. The app will reroute users to the selected station where drivers will scan a code and connect their EV to the station to begin charging. The app will also provide users with port availability, outages, charging history, trends, nearby amenities and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
