Tesla In Tucson This Weds!
For immediate release
Contact: Sheila Storm, (520) 792-1093
Colleen Crowninshield, (520) 792-1093
Coulomb Technologies will
energize Tesla in demo with electric
vehicle fast charge Level 2 J1772
Clean Cities’ demo event set for Sept. 23
A demonstration of a fast charge of an electric Tesla Roadster will be held Sept. 23 in El
Presidio Park following a meeting of the Tucson Regional Clean Cities Coalition.
The meeting begins at 2 p.m. at Pima Association of Governments, 177 N. Church Ave.,
5th floor conference room, with the presentation starting at approximately 3 p.m.
California-based Coulomb Technologies will demonstrate the Level 2 J1772 charging
of the Tesla using its ChargePoint Network Charging Station for plug-in electric
vehicles.
The demonstration is sponsored by 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 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. “Providing assurance to consumers that they can quickly recharge their
batteries will be the key to buyers supporting this alternative vehicle technology,”
Crowninshield said.
“We especially wish to thank Tesla owners Eddie and Soo Chin Gloyne for providing
their vehicle for the demonstration and we thank Coulomb Technologies and the City
of Tucson for their assistance in showing the public how quickly electric vehicles can
be charged,” she said.
