Residents at NMS Properties’ luxury residence 1502 Broadway in Santa Monica, Calif., can now enjoy the convenience of charging their electric vehicle at home.
Working with NMS Properties, CarCharging continues to deploy EV charging services at residential properties nationwide helping to foster the EV revolution.
CarCharging's service utilizes a Level 2 Coulomb Technologies EV fast charging station which provides 240 volts with 32 amps of power. The EV charging stations utilize the standard SAE J1772.
EV drivers can 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, the largest national online network connecting EV drivers to EV charging stations. Car Charging also accepts direct payment via credit card.
Users can pinpoint EV charging station locations using the CarCharging map at http://www.carcharging.com/. The ChargePoint mobile application for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry phones also provides real-time charging station location information 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.
