Coulomb Racks Up Series of Charging Infrastructure Wins

7 June 2009

Coulomb Technologies, the developer and provider of a family of products and services that provide a plug-in vehicle charging infrastructure (earlier post), announced a series of infrastructure wins (two European, one US) in late May and early June.

• The city of Amsterdam selected Coulomb to provide 45 charging stations as part of a two-year public demonstration project. The City of Amsterdam plans to deploy 200 charging stations before 2012, and expects the charging stations to fuel 10,000 electric cars in 2015. Leading energy company Nuon will provide renewable energy for the charging stations and Coulomb’s international partner 365-Energywill manage the ChargePoint Network for subscribers.

• The Katholieke High School of Limburg, Belgium (KHLim) will deploy ChargePoint Networked Charging stations as part of the first European Clean Mobility Center in Belgium. 365-Energy will provide the charging stations and manage the ChargePoint Network for subscribers. KHLim’s CO₂ neutral area produces its own green energy through wind, heat and solar. KHLim also has its own energy grid to which the ChargePoint charging stations are connected.

  The charging stations will be used for electrical vehicles, which are owned by iNet, the research institute of KHLim. As part of the project, KHLim will acquire several electrical vehicles, such as bikes, scooters, motorbikes and cars, which will be rented to the general public at the University campus. The objective of the Clean Mobility Center is to create awareness with municipalities and corporations by demonstrating the solution and offering expertise.

• In the US, the Rampart Casino / Resort in Las Vegas installed a Coulomb networked charging station for electric vehicles. The charging station is located at the resort valet parking area and customers are now able to refuel their vehicles unattended while they are in the Casino / Resort for any period of time. ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations are sold through EV Charge-America, a Coulomb Technologies’ distributor serving Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.
