City of Milwaukee in the US has unveiled its plans to install up to five Coulomb's ChargePoint electric vehicle charging stations, including the recently launched charging station at Discovery World in Milwaukee, as part of Coulomb's ChargePoint.
Funding for the City of Milwaukee Office of Environmental Sustainability's (OES) five public EV charging stations is provided through a American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant from the US Department of Energy.
Coulomb Technologies manufactured the stations as part of the network, which help with trip planning, management of charging costs, and assistance in finding and operating public ChargePoint-enabled stations.
The first EV station has been unveiled by Milwaukee in partnership with Discovery World and AT&T Wisconsin outside the museum, and the charging station is fully operational and available for public use.
The city is also planning to add three more sites located at Brady Street, the Clarion Hotel and the west side of Milwaukee, with another site currently operational at City Center.
Carbon Day Automotive, along with local partner ElectriCharge Mobility, provided the charging stations for these projects.
City of Milwaukee Environmental Sustainability director Matthew Howard said within the next 12 months, the state of Wisconsin will see new makes and models of electric vehicles on its roads, and the city wants to raise awareness of these fuel-efficient and emission-free vehicles.
"We're letting owners of these vehicles know that Milwaukee supports them with public charging infrastructure in convenient and prominent locations. These efforts help Milwaukee build upon the established ChargePoint Network and plan for a greener future for all of us," Howard said.
