Green Car Congress
JUNE 17, 2010
GM announced that the first buyers of the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended-range capability will be eligible for one of 4,400 free home charging stations. The program will provide Volt owners with a 240-volt charge station from either ECOtality, Inc. or Coulomb Technologies.
EV Adoption
SEPTEMBER 19, 2021
As we wait for Congress to fully return from their recess and vote on various legislation, I continue to be extremely concerned about how as much as $10 billion in federal government grants will be be spent on EV charging infrastructure. In short, I’m predicting what I call the “overcharging of America.”.
Plugs and Cars
MAY 24, 2011
With the city budget constrained just as investment in EV charging infrastructure has become warranted, one would think the City would jump at the opportunity for seventeen n0-cost new units to serve LEAFs, Volts and Teslas now. These ClipperCreek chargers would be simple to use - just park and plug in.
Revenge of the Electric Car
JUNE 3, 2010
The ChargePoint America program's Chargers are made by Coulomb Technologies. A new Federal Grant will enable many electric vehicle early adopters to get their chargers for free. (A But some city dwellers are in luck, because a federal grant will allow them to get the charger for free. A $2,000 value!).
Plugs and Cars
JULY 13, 2011
All plug-in cars these days come with a 120-volt charge cord. This will actually be sufficient for many if not most Volt drivers, and quite a few LEAF drivers. An empty Volt pack will take 10 hours to fully recharge; an empty LEAF about 20 hours. Something Ecotality couldn’t do even with $100 million in federal grant money.
Plug In Partners
FEBRUARY 15, 2008
Mike Easley said Tuesday that, depending on the support from federal grants, the state may give $5 million to start and $1 million annually to operate the Advanced Transportation Energy Center there. America's ready to go where North Carolina's ready to go." GM's much-hyped Chevrolet Volt will also feature plug-in capabilities.
Plugs and Cars
MARCH 3, 2011
Unfortunately there are still damn few J-plugs (the new standard for plug-in cars) publicly deployed, despite the expectations created by the federal grants to the EVProject (Ecotality) and ChargePoint America (Coulomb) and ex-Mayor Newsom here in San Francisco. Here's what's going to happen: You get your new LEAF or Volt.
