PEP (Plug-in Electric Power) Stations, based in Livonia, Michigan was conceived as a result of a tenant requirement at an office building in the Metro Detroit area. The tenant, a supplier of GM, needed a place to charge its Chevy Volt when at work. James Blain, an architect and award winning designer of James Blain & Associates, was asked to design a commercial electric vehicle charge station to meet the needs of the property owner and its tenant. The property owner requirements were captured in the following four design principles: 1) Identifiable 2) Indestructible 3) Inexpensive 4) User-friendly.
