The electric charging station, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, will provide both Level 1 (110V) and Level 2 (240V) charging option and will be able to charge two cars simultaneously.
The development of the new EV charging station supports ‘Project Get Ready Rhode Island’, a non-profit initiative to prepare Rhode Island for green transportation and reduce emissions by getting 10,000 plug-in EVs into service in Rhode Island by 2015.
Arpin Renewable Energy CEO Peter Arpin said that the Arpin-Cardi’s electric car charging station is the first step toward building Rhode Island’s EV infrastructure, making it possible for owners of EVs and plug-in hybrids to recharge away from home.
“Our goal is to promote EVs in order to reduce air pollutants, decrease our dependence on imported oil and benefit the local economy, making Rhode Island a better place to live,” Arpin said.
