Kansas City brewery installs electric vehicle charger

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ? A Kansas City beer maker known for environmental innovation is adding a new convenience for staff and visitors.

Boulevard Brewing Co. has installed an electric vehicle charging station at its headquarters on the city's west side. KSHB-TV reports the charging port is only the fifth one in the Kansas City region.

Visitors touring the brewery will be able to sample its craft beers while charging their electric vehicles for free.

Boulevard recently finished installing solar panels on its green roof, and everything it uses is recycled, composted or used as alternative fuel.

When glass recycling programs were failing in the metro area, Boulevard Brewing created a program it calls Ripple Glass, with purple recycling bins placed in the city and suburbs.
