In January, San Jose, Ca installed the first electric vehicle chargepoints on E. Santa Clara St, and on S. 4th Street. It’s very exciting to see innovation actually making it to major metropolitan areas. It’s been talked about for years, but to see it finally being implemented is a huge step!
Coulomb Technologies recently installed the first charging station in San Jose, California. Their Chargepoint features an ingenious design that is easily connected to an existing streetlamp and provides access to the municipal energy grid. As an incentive to try out the new technology they are currently offering access cards for a full year of free charging!
We look forward to seeing what comes out of Coulomb Technologies‘ initiative. We’ve already highlighted plans by three Californian cities to install electric vehicle charging points, and we are glad to see such strident efforts to provide solutions to the new paradigm that, we hope, will soon become standard in all of our vehicles. Now if we could only get some renewable energy in those vehicles.
