Western New Mexico University and Freeport-McMoRan are taking a significant step towards promoting sustainability and reducing carbon emissions by installing four electric vehicle (EV) chargers on the WNMU campus. These chargers, which are free to use and available to the public, are intended to support the community in transitioning towards a more environmentally friendly transportation system. By offering free access to EV chargers, WNMU and Freeport-McMoRan aim to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuel-powered transportation. This initiative will not only benefit the university community but will also help contribute to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the region.
