ChargePoint America Program Info

ChargePoint America is a program sponsored by Coulomb Technologies to provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure to nine selected regions in the United States. The ChargePoint America program will foster the adoption and readiness of EV’s throughout the United States. The is made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the Transportation Electrification Initiative administered by the Department of Energy and the objective is to accelerate the development and production of electric vehicles to substantially reduce petroleum consumption, reduce greenhouse gas production, and create jobs.

Coulomb is partnering with four leading automobile brands including, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW and smart USA. In support of the ChargePoint America program, the four automakers have committed to deliver electric vehicles in the ten designated US regions. These vehicles are the Chevrolet Volt, Ford Transit Connect, Ford Focus BEV, BMW ActiveE and smart fortwo electric drive that will be introduced throughout the US along with this program.

To build the electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, Coulomb Technologies will provide fully networked Level II (220v) ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations at no cost in the participating regions. There are two types of networked charging stations being offered through the program: home and public/commercial. Installation of these charging stations in most cases will be paid by the station owner (host) or the individual. All participants in the ChargePoint America program must agree to anonymous data collection. As the charging stations are all networked, this data collection is primarily automated.

Individuals in the target regions purchasing one of the partner automakers vehicles will be eligible to receive a ChargePoint Network home charging station at no cost.

Companies and municipalities in the selected regions will be eligible to receive networked charging stations at no cost. Our objective is to place charging stations strategically across the metropolitan areas in a variety of settings including public places, private garages, airports, train stations, malls, movie theatres, rental car agencies, restaurants, and other likely locations where owners of electric vehicles park their cars and need to charge.
