With the market increasingly focusing on infrastructure to support the anticipated surge of plug-in vehicles produced and planned, electric vehicle supply equipment (charging stations)—including a new inductive charging system—appeared prominently on the exhibit floor at the Plug-in 2010 conference and exhibition this week in San Jose, CA, along with associated announcements. Among those exhibiting were:

Aerovironment. Earlier this year, Nissan Nissan North America (NNA) selected AeroVironment to supply electric vehicle home-charging stations and installation services supporting the introduction of the LEAF.

In June, Plug In Carolina selected AeroVironment to supply, install and support a network of public electric vehicle stations in seven South Carolina cities. The charging network is expected to be operational by 1 December 2010 to support the variety of new EVs entering the roadways.

The company offers a broad range of Level 1, 2 and 3 charging solutions.

Better Place. Better Place, perhaps better known for its battery swap model, had on display its Level 2 charging stations (charge spots).

Coulomb. Coulomb Technologies will expand the ChargePoint Network through partnership agreements with Leviton, Siemens and Aker Wade. Each of the Coulomb partners will market and distribute their own brand of home and/or public electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) built specifically for the ChargePoint Network.

The ChargePoint Network is founded on an open interface, standards-based architecture providing station owners with a complete set of business applications, and providing drivers with EV charging apps.

Coulomb’s industry partners products include:

• Leviton: Level I and II residential and public charging stations for the US and Canada EV market.
• Siemens: Level I and II residential and public charging stations in the US, Canada and Europe.
• Aker Wade: Level III networked fast charging stations for electric vehicles worldwide.
