Coulomb Technologies ChargePoint

Coulomb Technologies has developed the charging stations for municipalities, utilities, green office buildings and parking garages to allow consumers to charge their electric vehicles wherever they live, work and shop. Consumers subscribe to the ChargePoint^SM Network and receive a ChargePoint Smart Card that allows them to charge their car at any charging station worldwide. The ChargePoint Network enabled charging stations provide:

• A revenue stream to pay for electricity, capital equipment and maintenance
• The ability for drivers to find unoccupied charging stations via web-enabled cell phones
• Notification by SMS Text or email when charging is complete
• 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

To locate available charging stations, visit www.mychargepoint.net and click “Find Stations”. Coulomb’s charging stations were sold to the City of Hillsboro through their Northwest distributor Charge Northwest http://www.chargenw.com/.

“The City of Hillsboro has long been known for their deep roots in technology and environmentalism,” said Richard Lowenthal CEO of Coulomb Technologies. “The selection of Coulomb’s networked charging stations will give the city new bragging rights when it comes to advanced infrastructure.”
