Company Profile • Coulomb Technologies, Inc. • Started company in 2007 • World wide deployments >1000 stations sold to over 130 different customers • Networked Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and Infrastructure. • OEM agreements: Leviton, Siemens
FUEL Glossary • EVSE - Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment • NEC - National Electrical Code (Article 625) • UL - Underwriters Laboratories (UL 2594) • kWh – kilo Watt hours • Level 1 - A charging method that allows an EV to be connected to the most commonly available grounded electrical outlet (NEMA 5-20) with power levels rated at less than or equal to 120 VAC/20 amps. • Level 2 – A charging method that allows an EV to be connected to permanently wired EVSE with a specialized connector (SAE J1772) with power levels rated at less than or equal to 240 VAC/80 amps. • Level 3 – A charging method that allows an EV to be connected to permanently wired EVSE with DC (direct current) service with power levels rated in the 150-400VDC range and a three-phase circuit.
Why Electricity as a Transportation Fuel • Zero tail pipe emissions • Greening of the Grid • 3.4 Tons of GHG saved versus gasoline engine • Lower vehicle maintenance costs • $0.02 per mile vs $0.13 per mile • Existing grid Infrastructure is the foundation of the fuel delivery mechanism • Political will- Federal/State Grants
Electric Fuel Pricing Components • Utilities set pricing that station owners pay • Pricing regulated by regional PUCs • Historically slow pricing changes versus gasoline prices • Host (station owner) can set end user pricing • 4-5 miles per kWh
Fueling Infrastructure Options Where will people charge? Self-sustaining business model. Smart-grid enabled to protect grid.
Fleet Manager Software • Great tool for Fleet Managers • Check Out/Check In of cars • Notification if car returned/ plugged in and when • Battery charging status • Reporting : • Start/stop time & duration, kWh, Driver, Vehicle, GHG emission savings, gasoline savings
