Coulomb Technologies recently announced new features for its ChargePoint smart phone apps for the Blackberry and iPhone. Now available for free in the iPhone and Blackberry app stores, the ChargePoint® App provides electric vehicle (EV) drivers real-time charging station status. The new version allows drivers to search and filter for charging stations by status: available, in use, voltage level, and paid or free stations.
The smart phone apps provide an easy and mobile way to access the world's largest EV charging network service with features that allow an EV driver to find stations near any specified address, get turn-by-turn directions, and even start and stop a charging session directly from their smart phone. In February 2010, Coulomb released the first generation of its iPhone App and to date has seen tens of thousands of downloads.
"The ChargePoint Network has been in operation for more than two years and continues to be the world's largest and only charging station network in the United States with new stations added every day," said Pat Romano, President and CEO at Coulomb Technologies. "We are committed to providing drivers the most advanced EV charging services and the most comprehensive tools to eliminate range anxiety and support EV adoption."
Users can receive charging session information including: real-time charging status notifications, energy used, greenhouse gas savings and time usage. Additional new features include the ability to:
- View charging station configuration (voltage/current/connector)
- View price to charge and total cost of a session after completion
- View your home ChargePoint station
- View the app in landscape mode
- View a list of nearby stations within 1000 feet radius
- View your ChargePass account information
