Under this program, Coulomb will develop hundreds of free public and home charging stations for individuals and businesses throughout southern Michigan – from Grand Rapids to Ann Arbor to Lansing to Detroit.
Ford, Chevrolet and smart USA that have joined Coulomb in this program plan to introduce their respective EVs in Southern Michigan in the coming months.
The company plans to provide nearly 5,000 charging stations to the program participants in nine regions in the US, including Austin, Texas, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Florida, Sacramento, California, Bellevue/Redmond and Washington DC.
All drivers of plug-in vehicles can have access to the ChargePoint network by making a toll free call to the 24/7 number on each charging station or signing up for a ChargePoint Network monthly access plan and obtaining a ChargePass smart card.
ChargePoint Network provides information on the charging status by SMS text or email notification, location of unoccupied charging stations via smart phones and includes authenticated access, authorized energizing, smart grid integration for utility load management with future V2G capabilities and a ChargePoint iPhone App.
