As the number of people who're seriously taking into account the possibility of purchasing an electric vehicle increases, there's also an increased demand for specialized charging stations. And we're not talking here just about public charging stations, but also about home and residential-oriented versions, which drivers can install in their own garages and/or driveways.

For this reason, Coulomb Technologies, which has established itself as one of the most important players on the EV charging solutions' market, has recently announced the availability of its CT500 Level II ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations, which are are designed for home and light commercial use.

The ChargePoint Network is based on an open interface, standards-based architecture that provides station owners with a complete set of business applications to market and bill for electric transportation fueling services, and provides drivers with EV charging applications to make fueling easy. The station delivers Level II (208/240 V @ 30 A) charging and is compatible with plug-in electric vehicles that comply with the SAE J1772 plug-in electric vehicle-charging standard.

The CT500 charging station is a 7.2 kw single output station designed for residential and light commercial applications. The station's small size and flexible network interfaces make it an ideal solution for utilities, homeowners, fleet managers, and auto manufacturers and the solution is compatible with Leviton's recently announced innovative Evr-Green EVSE installation system. This industry-first prewire mounting system provides for simple plug-in installation for new charging stations.

"Coulomb has the most comprehensive and established product line and application services offering in the industry," said Richard Lowenthal, CEO Coulomb Technologies. "The addition of our residential charging stations coincides with the introduction of electric vehicles to the mass market. Our charging stations are available to order today and will bring all of the features and benefits people expect from the ChargePoint Network."
