It is reported that Coulomb Technologies has developed a complete smart charging solution for plug-in vehicles. The company’s Smartlet charging stations are individually controlled through the wireless Smartlet Communications Network and the ChargePoint Network Operating System.
Smartlet charging stations perform bi-directional energy metering and control, user authentication, and 802.15.4 wireless local area network technology, which enable a subscription model through communication with a data center.
Gilbarco is exhibiting Coulomb Technologies’s Smartlet charging station at the National Association of Convenience Stores show at McCormick Place in Chicago from October 4 to October 7, 2008.
Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies, said: Gilbarco Veeder-Root offers the industry’s leading sales, distribution and service channels for retail and fleet fueling equipment with their Gilbarco and Gasboy brands. This partnership leverages Gilbarco’s expertise and payment products to provide retailers and fleet operators the best clean air technology, sales and support network for building the alternative fuel infrastructure they will need for the future.
