By Greentech Lead America: Car Charging Group has opened
its new electric vehicle charging services at the Rapid Park garage at 25
Beekman Street, lower Manhattan. The new charging services provide Coulomb
Technologies EV fast charging station, known as Level II, which provides 240
volts with 32 amps of power to quickly refuel an EV’s battery.
“With a growing number of people driving EVs, we
wanted to provide our customers the convenience and reassurance of recharging
while at work or enjoying the many restaurants at nearby South Street Seaport.
Working with CarCharging to provide EV charging services as a shareable
amenity, we can now offer Rapid Park’s EV customers the ability to park and
rapidly recharge their electric vehicle in one location,” said
Kevin Wolf, regional director, Rapid Park.
CarCharging 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. CarCharging also accepts direct
payment via credit card.
The ChargePoint mobile application also provides
real-time charging station locations 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.
