Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are not new technology, but they are still a fairly rare sight when it comes to public use.Late last summer—in a cooperative effort with Rutgers School of Engineering and University Facilities—two ChargePoint® EV chargers were installed outside CAIT as part of a research project that will collect data on EV usage and environmental benefits.

Automakers around the globe have announced their intentions to release all-electric vehicles in the coming years.
The arrival of thousands of new all-electric vehicles is an exciting development, which will hopefully mark the beginning of a transition to alternative fuels in the transportation sector. Yet the first wave of full‐electric vehicles faces a major obstruction to entering the mainstream market: there is simply no infrastructure to support electric vehicle (EV) technology in the US. Project Get Ready is an initiative that helps cities across the continent make the shift away from fossil fuels in the transportation sector by implementing a network of plug‐in charging stations. And on January 20th, 2010 at the Northeast Auto Show, The Rocky Mountain Institute,...

With the introduction of electric cars, more and more drivers in the Philadelphia area will need to know where to find free electric car charging stations for their efficient new cars.

Which comes first, plug-in electric cars or electric-charging stations?
Nicholas, Ron and Peter Cardi see a network of charging stations coming first and have installed the first one in the state at the Cardi’s Furniture Superstore in West Warwick.
No matter that the only vehicle currently capable of using it is the pricey Tesla sports car which runs $109,000 for the base model.
“What do you do? It’s a chicken-and-egg thing,” said Peter Cardi Wednesday. He noted that while everyone is talking about plug-in electric cars, there are currently few on the roads.
The first moderately priced electric plug-ins, the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf, are scheduled to arrive in Rhode Island showrooms at the end of next year. Both cars are being rolled out in...
Coulomb Technologies today announced the installation of its first public ChargePoint® Networked Charging Station for electric vehicles (EV) in New York City, part of the $37 million ChargePoint America program. ChargePoint America will offer free stations for both public and home charging to individuals and businesses throughout the metropolitan area. Coulomb plans to install hundreds of ChargePoint Network EV charging stations throughout New York City where they will be used by individual vehicle owners and by fleets. The planning, installation and maintenance of these ChargePoint charging stations will create hundreds of jobs within the city and establish the necessary infrastructure to foster widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
