“Arizona has made a significant commitment to lowering carbon emissions and reducing our dependence on imported oil,” said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. “Throughout 2009, we have worked closely with the Tucson Regional Clean Cities Coalition to raise awareness of the need for infrastructure for electric vehicles. The opening of the second location of networked charging stations is another step in bringing electric vehicles to the masses in Arizona.”
“This is just another step in helping to ensure electric vehicle charging is available, easy to use and helps us to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil,” said Tucson Regional Clean Cities Manager Colleen Crowninshield.
