Coulomb and Tesla Together
A demonstration of a fast charge of an electric Tesla Roadster was held on September 23, 2009 in El Presidio Park following a meeting of the Tucson Regional Clean Cities Coalition.
For the first time, Coulomb Technologies demonstrated the Level 2 SAE J1772™ charging of the Tesla using our ChargePoint® Network Charging Station for plug-in electric vehicles.
The demonstration was sponsored by the Pima Association of Governments’ Clean Cities Program, the City of Tucson, and Coulomb Technologies. The Tesla Roadster has a charge range of 244 miles and goes from
0-60 in 3.9 seconds.
The PAG Regional Council signed a memorandum of understanding with Nissan North America and Scottsdale-based ECOtality Inc. in March to help implement electric vehicle infrastructure in the Tucson region in advance of the late 2010 deployment of Nissan’s all-electric Leaf.
“We have made a commitment to Nissan and Ecotality to join together to end range anxiety and make EV charging available to our community. This technology will play a role in that commitment,” said Clean Cities Program Manager Colleen Crowninshield.
The SAE J1772™ is a standard that all future electric vehicles, including the Nissan Leaf and GM Volt, will support to ensure a universal connection from the vehicle to the charging station.
The Leaf is expected to have a 100-mile range before a recharge is needed. Consumers will have charging units available in their homes or at businesses for commercial fleets. However, charging units throughout the community will be made available for public use.
In addition to the Nissan Leaf, the electric Chevy Volt also is expected to hit the market in late 2010.
