(A California-based Coulomb Technologies makes the program’s ChargePoint chargers, which were shipped to 130 customers in 2009. The ChargePoint America program's Chargers are made by Coulomb Technologies. A $2,000 value!).

Plugs and Cars

MARCH 3, 2011

But one shouldn't have to know Bob to plug in your new car. It's city, state and federal policy to enable electric cars for the emissions and petroleum reduction they provide. Publicly plugging in is an act of coming out, of civic responsibility. The situation is similarly bleak in Southern California.
