The Kensington luxury apartment complex in Boston has added an electric car charging station as a free amenity to residents.

The 27-story tower at 665 Washington St. in the Theater District opened in October 2013 and contains 381 units. The station manufactured by ChargePoint is located in the resident parking garage and features universal charging capabilities for all electric car models. The garage has been pre-wired to accommodate additional charging stations.

"As the popularity of electric vehicles increases, our community is committed to installing additional stations for our eco-conscious residents," Drew Boujoulian, the Kensington’s resident services manager, said in a statement.

According to a recent report from Navigant Research, worldwide sales of light duty electric vehicles are expected to increase from 2.7 million in 2014 to 6.4 million in 2023.

The LEED Gold-certified building contains eco-friendly features including energy-efficient lighting and heat pumps, solar shade window coverings, low-flow plumbing fixtures and recycled glass countertops.
