The charging stations are made available to the state through Coulomb’s $37m ChargePoint America Department of Energy program.
Additionally, the company is collaborating with BMW for the Boston release of their new ActiveE all-electric vehicle.
The charging station allows the drivers of the BMW ActiveE to easily and conveniently fuel their electric vehicle at any ChargePoint-enabled electric vehicle charging station in the US as well as access ChargePoint Network’s 24/7 driver support and mobile phone applications.
The applications include station location, real-time availability, station reservations, charging status and turn-by-turn navigation.
Based upon the popular BMW 1 Series Coupe, the new ActiveE complies with the SAE J1772 connector standard, which is compatible with all North American charging stations on the ChargePoint Network.
Coulomb’s ChargePoint America program will provide nearly 5,000 charging stations to program participants in ten regions in the US.
