Bosch made the announcements at the 2013 Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) Annual Conference in Washington, DC.

Financing options are:

• 0 down, same as cash loan with no monthly payments for 12 months if repaid in full in 12 months for charging stations with installations $1,000 and above.

• $0 down, 5 year 2.99% loan on charging stations with installations $3,500 and above.

Bosch will provide the complete installation solution for the Plugless L2 System. A Bosch-certified electrician will install the home infrastructure portion of the system, and Bosch Car Service centers will install the on-vehicle components. Bosch will coordinate the entire process and provide post-installation support as needed.

The Plugless L2 System offers hands-free, automatic EV charging. Vehicle owners simply drive over the system’s floor-mounted Parking Pad and their vehicle begins charging. The Plugless Level 2 EV Charging System includes the following components:

• Vehicle Adapter: Installed on the undercarriage of the user’s EV

• Control Panel: A wall-mounted enclosure that provides alignment guidance and diagnostic information, in addition to traditional charging station functions

• Parking Pad: A floor-mounted wireless charging transmitter

Bosch offers professional guidance for customers purchasing the Plugless L2 or other corded EV charging stations. Trained Vehicle Charging Advisors walk customers through a free on-site estimate, installation and inspection, and provide ongoing support including finding money-saving rebates offered by utility companies, government or vehicle manufacturers. Bosch installation services include a 3-year limited product warranty, all permitting and even filing rebate paperwork for a vehicle owner.

Bosch will begin taking advance orders today; the Plugless L2 System will begin shipping in early July, with initial customers receiving their charging station in mid to late July.
