Walnut Creek, California becomes third Bay Area City to install Coulomb charging stations for electric vehicles

9 June 2009

Electric vehicle infrastructure company Coulomb Technologies has announced that Walnut Creek, California has become the third Bay Area city to deploy their ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations for electric vehicles.

‘Progressive Bay Area cities are leading by example when it comes to EV infrastructure,’ said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. ‘Nowhere else in the world can drivers of electric vehicles travel from city to city and find charging stations. Infrastructure for EV’s is taking shape in the Bay Area. The Cities of San Jose and San Francisco were the first installations for consumers and fleet owners and now with the addition of Walnut Creek to our network of charging stations, drivers can literally drive around the Bay Area and charge as they go.’

Coulomb Technologies has developed the charging stations for municipalities, utilities, green office buildings and parking garages to allow consumers to charge their electric vehicles. Consumers subscribe to the ChargePoint Network and receive a ChargePoint Smart Card that allows them to charge their car at any charging station worldwide.

Coulomb Technologies, headquartered in Campbell, California, offers products and services that provide a plug-in vehicle charging infrastructure. Coulomb applies networking technology to the challenge of charging electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in order to fuel the electric transportation industry.
