The California-based developer behind a wide-scale buildout of charging stations for electric vehicles in the Chicago area has chosen Coulomb Technologies to provide 180 stations that can charge an electric vehicle in a matter of hours.

Chicago’s public charging stations will join a network of privately-installed Coulomb charging stations already operating at parking garages and businesses across Chicago. The overwhelming majority of installed charging stations in the Midwest are Coulomb brand.

350Green LLC, the San Diego-based company behind the $8.9 million project to install 280 charging stations, has not announced who will provide 73 fast-charging stations that are expected to make Chicago a global leader in a technology that can charge an electric vehicle in under 30 minutes. The technology is so new that so far, the Nissan Leaf — which rolls out this Fall in Chicago — is one of the few vehicles compatible with the technology.

350Green did not immediately return a call for comment.

“Our technology provides property owners and companies with the ability to offer safe charging at their locations, and the flexibility to decide if or what to charge their customers” said Brian Levin, vice president and partner at Carbon Day Automotive, the exclusive distributor of Coulomb’s charging stations in the Midwest.

Levin said approximately 150 Coulomb charging stations are already installed in Chicago and the surrounding area — although many are private. The contract more than doubles Carbon Day’s footprint, which includes charging infrastructure at Soldier Field and InterPark garages.

Through Coulomb’s ChargePoint Network http://mychargepoint.net/, a mobile application for Blackberry, iPhone and Android phones allows plug-in vehicle drivers to hit one button to find the location and directions to the nearest available charging station. The application also notifies user when the vehicle is finished charging or if charging is interrupted, said Levin.

350Green has signed partnerships with Walgreens and Simon Property Group and installations at locations in Chicago are already underway. 350Green has not yet announced how much the charging stations will cost to operate.

The agreement means Coulomb — which has charging stations in 14 countries and charges more than 26,000 vehicles per month on average — will provide 400 charging stations for 350Green projects across the country in places like New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and California.

President Barack Obama, who recently expanded the number of electric vehicles in the federal fleet, has made it a goal to reach 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.

Communities across the country will need to prepare for the expected insurgence of electric cars by investing in networks of public charging stations for electric car users.

“Despite their limited number, the Chevrolet Volts are already being sold at dealerships across Wisconsin,” said Jim Tolkan, president of the Automobile Dealers Association of Mega Milwaukee (ADAMM). “There will be a multitude of others coming in the very near future as other manufactures develop their own models. I suspect that, while sales may not skyrocket, they will continue to sell and only moreso once adequate charging technology is adopted.”

The Schlitz Park office complex in downtown Milwaukee recently became one of the first in the state to install an electric vehicle charging station in its facility. Milwaukee Area Technical College has charging stations located on its downtown campus and has a project planned for its Oak Creek campus.

Spring City Electric of Waukesha, a division of Milwaukee-based Pieper Electric, recently installed a charging station at its corporate headquarters.

“The electric car is coming,” said Mike Kelliher, branch manager of Spring City Electric. “As a company we want to stay ahead of all this stuff and get the right equipment in to the marketplace so consumers aren’t so fearful. We want people to feel comfortable enough to purchase these vehicles and take comfort in the fact that there will be a place to charge it when they need to.”

The majority of charging systems in the country are produced by California-based Coulomb Technologies Inc., the worldwide operator of the ChargePoint Network. Chicago-based Carbon Day Automotive and Brookfield-based Electricharge Mobility LLC are partners of Coulomb Technologies and operate primarily in the Midwest.

“We’re definitely the leader in electric vehicle infrastructure,” said Brian Levine, vice president of Carbon Day Automotive. “We have a number of significant projects in the state of Wisconsin, and we hope to expand on that relationship.”

According to Levine, the stations in the Milwaukee region, including those at the Technical Colleges and others at the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, are privately owned stations.

The company recently secured a contract from the state of Minnesota as well as Kansas City Power and Light to install stations.

“We work with a good mix of private station owners and municipalities as well as energy companies,” Levine said. “The beauty of it is that regardless of who owns the station, the owner gets to set their own pricing options within the network.”

According to Brian Manthey, spokesman for Milwaukee-based Wisconsin Energy Corp., the installation of electric charging stations is something the company is “paying attention to,” but any progress towards development would be done in conjunction with the Department of Energy and the state, he said.

Levine has indicated initial conversations with Wisconsin Energy executives have taken place, but it hasn’t progressed beyond just talking.

“We haven’t gotten any further than preliminary discussions with (Wisconsin Energy),” Levine said. “But we’re excited about the potential opportunity to work with them.”

Last fall, Carbon Day Automotive worked with Madison Gas and Electric to install 18 additional charging stations throughout Dane County, adding to the county’s six existing charging stations, Levine said. The development of the charging stations in Madison was made possible through a Department of Energy Grant.

Stations installed by any Coulomb Technology partner become a part of the expansive ChargePoint Network which provides multiple web-based portals for hosts and users to take advantage of, Levine said.

“All of our stations are connected by a national network,” Levine said. “Drivers can locate available stations near them by using a smart phone application for iPhone or Blackberry or simply by accessing the Internet. The power is in the network.”

Stations on the network will also send a text message to a driver once charging is complete or if the charging session is interrupted, Levine said.

“The network offers a certain peace of mind,” he said. “In addition, charging station owners can set and modify charging prices whenever they want and conveniently generate usage or revenue generated reports.”

According to Levine, the flexibility to set and modify pricing for peak hours or specific time periods is one of the key reasons municipalities are working with them.

“For America to get to 1 million electric cars by 2015 it is going to have to happen organically but it’s also going to take some progressive thinkers,” Levine said. “Progressive businesses are starting to look at electric charging stations as more than just a go-green marketing tool. It’s going to become a real amenity and the ability for users to access the Chargepoint Network will only enhance that because what good is spending the money to install a charging station if no one knows it’s there?”

Baton Rouge, La. — Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today announced it is working with Coulomb Technologies to fund and donate 16 electric vehicle charging stations at college campuses in and around Entergy’s four-state service area.

The first two Entergy-funded charging stations were unveiled during a special event at Louisiana State University as Entergy and LSU launched one of the state’s first major forays into the electric vehicle market. The event featured Dr. Michael Martin, LSU Chancellor; Bill Mohl, president and chief executive officer, Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C.; and Allan G. Pulsipher, executive director, LSU Center for Energy Studies.

“Electric vehicles are gaining widespread attention and being embraced as an important technology solution for the nation’s energy future. We know that the infrastructure must be in place to support the evolution of the technology, and we hope Entergy’s donation of EV chargers to LSU will help start that process for the southern region,” said Mohl. “This program is part of our deeper commitment to support technologies that foster environmental sustainability and provide for clean, efficient and affordable power for today and tomorrow.”

The charging stations were donated to LSU through a $160,000 grant by Entergy’s Environmental Initiatives Fund. Entergy is currently working with other universities in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas to donate additional electric vehicle charging stations throughout the region.

“As the state’s flagship university, it’s fitting that we are the leader in accepting and installing Entergy’s gift in the company’s four-state service territory,” said Martin. “This partnership will go a long way to establishing a cleaner environment and a cleaner way to travel for our citizens.”
The LSU charging stations, which are free to use by all LSU faculty, staff and students, are among the first in the nation to be installed on a university campus for the sole purpose of providing free charges to electric car owners and for research purposes.

“Collecting usage data will allow Entergy and LSU to conduct critical research about EV chargers,” said Brent Dorsey, director of corporate environmental programs for Entergy. “The goal is to determine the impacts and opportunities of EV charging, including length to charge, consumer charging profiles, time of day for charging, impacts on electric facilities and other consumer behavior and preferences.”

The charging stations were manufactured by Coulomb Technologies and are part of Coulomb’sChargePoint® Network, the largest EV driver network in the world. Coulomb specializes in EV charging systems and operates in 14 countries. The charging station data collection is enabled by theChargePoint® Network, which provides online access to the data including detailed usage reports, greenhouse gas and gasoline savings. Installation of the charging stations was completed by Verdek, Coulomb’s south central regional distributor.
“We are proud to play a part in expanding the ChargePoint Network into the south central region,” said Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek. “As more zero-emission vehicles become available in the region, providing easy and convenient ways to charge is essential for consumer adoption of this new form of transportation.”

Entergy’s Environmental Initiatives Fund was established as a mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovative, promising projects and is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to seek sustainable environmental solutions to its business.

Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the second-largest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of more than $11 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.

“The ChargePoint station is a further example of our commitment to sustainability, and we hope this installation will support and raise awareness that electric vehicles will soon be available throughout Missouri,” said Erick Jessee, President of Posty Cards. “Even better, we are encouraging our employees and the public at large to consider owning electric vehicles as a cleaner, more efficient mode of transportation.”

ChargePoint networked charging stations are managed by the ChargePoint® Network. This enables Posty Cards to control access to their corporate ChargePoint stations, enabling only authorized users to charge their vehicles. ChargePoint also reports on electricity consumption for accounting and budgeting purposes, and green house gas emission reductions for each user. ChargePoint provides EV drivers the ability to locate and navigate to charging stations anywhere on the ChargePoint Network, and check station availability from any smart phone or web browser. The ChargePoint Network also facilitates EV trip mapping, driver billing, 24/7 driver assistance, and energy savings measurements.
Coulomb’s CT2100 ChargePoint charging stations have dual outputs that deliver charge simultaneously. Stations supply both a 7.2 kW Level II output delivering 208 – 240 VAC @ 30 Amps via a standard SAE J1772™ connector attached by a fixed 18-foot cable, and a 2 kW Level 1 output delivering 120 VAC @ 16 Amps via a standard NEMA 5-20 receptacle protected behind a locking door.
The Posty Cards new headquarters facility features the largest solar panel installation in the Kansas City region, solar heated water, high-efficiency variable volume HVAC, natural lighting with active artificial lighting controls, rain water reclamation for irrigation and flushing toilets, and native plant landscaping.

The addition of the ChargePoint charging station is the latest example of conservation efforts by
Boulevard Brewing Company.

In 2009, Boulevard formed a new company called Ripple Glass, which constructed a state-of-the-art recycled glass processing plant and created a metro-wide glass collection network. Ripple’s facility also processes container glass from throughout the region, helping other communities keep glass out of their landfills while giving it the new life it deserves.

Boulevard’s brewhouse and packaging building, built in 2007, features a green roof to reduce heating and air conditioning by increasing the insulation value where it is needed most. The surface also absorbs rainwater, thus reducing runoff while sustaining a variety of plant life. The plants, in turn, reduce the overall thermal footprint of the building, absorb CO2, and generate oxygen, all positively impacting the quality of life in the surrounding area.
The company has recently adopted a zero-landfill policy, with all solid “waste” being recycled, composted, or used as an alternative fuel source.

“Part of the EV owner experience is planning where you will charge and, planning the miles you will travel,” said Richard Lowenthal, founder and CTO at Coulomb. “If you are certain you can charge at your destination, it effectively doubles the range of your vehicle since you don’t need to cover the round trip with just one charge. It also means that a 100-mile vehicle can cover a 100-mile diameter metropolitan area, like the San Francisco or Los Angeles regions. I need to know in advance that a station and EV parking place is waiting and available for me at the mall, or the theater or at a meeting location. This feature is especially important to station owners who want to ensure that an EV driver will spend time at their business.”

Reservations as easy as 1, 2, 3
Drivers search for reservable charging stations at http://www.mychargepoint.net.
Drivers can easily make a reservation once signed into their ChargePoint Driver Account.
Upon making a reservation, the driver is billed the station owner-determined fee.
By using their ChargePass™ card, drivers have unlimited charging station access privileges during their reserved charging session time.
