Coulomb Technologies announced the availability of its residential charging stations for electric cars.
The CT500 charging station is a 7.2 kw single output station designed for residential and light commercial applications. The station delivers Level II (208/240 V @ 30 A) charging and is compatible with plug-in electric cars that comply with the SAE J1772 plug-in electric car-charging standard.
The station’s small size and flexible network interfaces make it an ideal solution for utilities, homeowners, fleet managers, and auto manufacturers. The CT500 is compatible with Leviton’s recently announced Evr-Green EVSE installation system. This industry-first prewire mounting system provides for simple plug-in installation for new chargingstations.
Coulomb’s ChargePoint Network is open to all drivers of plug-in cars and provides authentication, management, and real-time control for the networked electric car chargingstations. The network of electric car charging stations is accessible to all plug-in drivers by making a toll free call to the 24/7 number on each charging station, or signing up for a ChargePoint Network monthly access plan and obtaining a ChargePoint ChargePass smart card.
The announcement expands Coulomb’s spectrum of products for EVs from home to Level III fast charging stations. CT500 charging stations will be sold through Coulomb’s OEM and distribution channels. The ChargePoint Network is based on an open interface, standards-based architecture that provides station owners with a complete set of business applications to market and bill for electric transportation fueling services, and provides drivers with EV charging applications to make fueling easy. The CT500 stations will be on display at the Plug-In 2010 Conference and Exposition in San Jose, California on 26-29 July.
