EV-Charge America Launches Global Charge Net™ Smart Grid Enabled EV Charging Stations, integrated with GridPoint, Inc.’s smart charging software.

LAS VEGAS, NV. February 2, 2010 – EV-Charge America, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, utilizing GridPoint, Inc.’s smart grid application software, today announced an integrated smart grid enabled EV charging station solution for electric vehicles being rolled out globally on the new Charge Net™ platform.

This integrated software solution uses EV-Charge America’s Charge Net™ Networked Charging Stations for plug in electric and hybrid plug in vehicles embedded with GridPoint’s smart charging software to further enhance municipalities, public and private utilities abilities to manage grid loads relative to electric vehicle charging infrastructure roll-outs now going on world-wide.

Utilities and municipalities will now have a globally networked software solution that monitors and adjusts to real-time grid loads thus allowing stake holders to adapt, modulate and optimize the supply and demand of electricity when used as a transportation fuel while integrating with other third-party software applications, including utility company’s back office control software.

Electric Utility Companies of all sizes will be able to easily and economically manage the load generated by ever increasing numbers of EVs. Demand / Response activities are monitored and optimized on any macro and/or micro geographic grid levels using this new and innovative Charge Net™ platform.

The Charge Net™ is built to effectively interact with utility company’s new time-of-use rates that are expected to be an effective tool in incentivizing EV users to charge their vehicles during night time or off-peak hours.

“We’re excited to unveil this new technology that we’ve been working on for several months now,” says Bob Rosinski, CEO of EV-Charge America. “EV-Charge America’s EV charging stations are the only globally networked solution with smart grid software integrated into a multiple vehicle operating system platform that is both seamless and is also being offered at a price point and ROI that is the most cost-effective in the industry.

In today’s economic environment, businesses and municipalities must maximize the value of their capital expenditures. Charge Net™ makes economic sense.”

GridPoint software integration extends the smart grid right down to multiple electric vehicles connected to EV-Charge America charging stations and utilizes the dramatic ROI opportunities of the Charge Net™ system through its ability to manage the flow of electricity to 1, 2, 3, or up to 4 vehicles at a time from one charging station.”
