Coulomb Technologies is installing the station as part of the ChargePoint America program, a $37 million initiative that is funded in part with $15 million from a Department of Energy grant and made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which will offer hundreds of free station for public and home charging to individuals and businesses.
The network of stations is a starting point, but what is needed is better battery technology. In making the Bay Area a focus of their electric vehicle program, car manufacturers and Coulomb are wisely focusing on a region with the skill and investment resources to make the necessary improvements.
