Coulomb Technologies, a provider of vehicle charging infrastructure, has announced that the city of San Francisco has installed its Smartlet networked charging stations at City Hall.
The charging stations are a part of a two-year public demonstration conducted with San Francisco, a pilot project to power San Francisco’s plug-in fleet and car-share plug-in vehicles. Coulomb’s charging infrastructure is providing San Francisco networked features that address electric vehicle fleet needs.
Coulomb Technologies has said that three of its networked charging stations are located across the street from City Hall on the plaza. Coulomb’s charging stations are part of a smart networked charging infrastructure, called the ChargePoint Network that addresses needs of electric vehicle drivers, utilities, municipalities, and parking space owners. San Francisco’s charging stations have new technology that supports clean fleets like those owned by the city.
The Fleet Management Portal includes such features as interactive charts that summarize gasoline saved and greenhouse gases saved, displays of which vehicles are charging, which vehicles are fully charged, and which vehicles are overdue for charging. The Fleet Management Portal also includes smartphone text messaging that alerts electric vehicle drivers when cars need charging, when they are fully charged, and when charging is interrupted.
