Nashville Latest City to Install Coulomb Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles
13 August 2009
The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County is the first municipality in the State of Tennessee to install and deploy Coulomb ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations for plug-in electric vehicles.
The charging stations are now installed in downtown Nashville in a new 700-space parking garage located on the Fulton Campus. The charging stations are available for employee and fleet use. Coulomb distributor Green Power Technology, the exclusive distributor in the northeast US for the ChargePoint Network charging stations, provided sales and support for this installation.

- Notification by SMS Text or email when charging is complete
- The ability for drivers to find unoccupied charging stations via web-enabled cell phones
- Authenticated access to eliminate energy theft
- Authorized energizing for safety
- Remote monitoring and diagnostics for superior quality of service
- Smart Grid integration for utility load management with future V2G capabilities
