CarCharging Brings Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Services to NMS@Broadway in Santa Monica
Nationwide EV Charging Service Partners With Southern California Developer to Provide On-Site Amenity to Accommodate Growing Number of EV-Driving Residents
MIAMI BEACH, FL and SANTA MONICA, CA -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/06/12 -- Residents at NMS Properties' luxury residence 1502 Broadway in Santa Monica, California, can now enjoy the convenience of charging their electric vehicle at home. Working with NMS Properties, CarCharging (OTCBB: CCGI) continues to deploy convenient EV charging services at residential properties nationwide helping to foster the EV revolution.
"Santa Monica is a hotbed for electric vehicles, and NMS Properties recognized the need to provide EV charging as a shared amenity for our residents living at NMS@Broadway in Santa Monica," said Jim Andersen, President of NMS Properties. "With a growing number of our residents now driving EVs, we wanted to provide the convenience of refueling while at home. Working with Car Charging to provide a shareable amenity, we are very pleased to enable our residents to easily recharge their EVs where they live and look forward to adding EV charging sites at our apartment homes in the future."
CarCharging's service utilizes a Coulomb Technologies EV fast charging station, known as Level II, which provides 240 volts with 32 amps of power to quickly refuel an electric vehicle's battery. The EV charging stations utilize the standard SAE J1772™ connector widely adopted by nearly all automobile manufacturers.
EV drivers can easily register and create a CarCharging account online, and attach a small card to their keychain to initiate use and payment at any intelligent CarCharging station. The CarCharging keychain card also allows drivers to use charging locations on the ChargePoint® Network, the largest national online network connecting EV drivers to EV charging stations. Car Charging also accepts direct payment via credit card.
Users can pinpoint EV charging station locations using the CarCharging map at http://www.carcharging.com/. The ChargePoint® mobile application for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones also provides real-time charging station location information with turn-by-turn directions. Drivers will soon be able to reserve a time slot, guaranteeing access to EV charging stations to recharge their electric vehicle.
Electric vehicles already on the market include the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, BMW ActiveE, Ford Focus Electric, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Coda, and Fisker Karma. Additional electric vehicle models are expected to be available later this year.
