14 August 2009

California-based electric vehicle infrastructure company Coulomb Technologies has installed and deployed its networked charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles in Nashville, US.

The charging stations are now installed in downtown Nashville in the new 700 space parking garage located on the Fulton Campus, the company said. The charging stations, available for the city’s employees and fleet use have been installed to reduce greenhouse emissions and to raise awareness of readiness for electric vehicles.

‘Networked charging stations for plug-in vehicles in Nashville brings music to our ears,’ said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. ‘Nashville is laying the groundwork for the future of clean and alternative energy in Tennessee. These charging stations not only create awareness for electric vehicles and their necessary infrastructure, but will give employees of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County a new destination choice for charging their vehicle.

‘These charging stations support Mayor Dean’s vision to make Nashville the greenest and most livable city in the Southeast. Our hope is that businesses across Nashville and Davidson County will see what we’re doing and implement similar practices,’ said Nancy Whittemore, Director of General Services,’ he added.

Coulomb Technologies charging stations are used in municipalities, utilities, green office buildings and parking garages. Consumers subscribe to the company’s charging station network and receive a smart card that allows them to charge their car at any charging station.
