August 13, 2010 – Vol.15 No.21 California Energy Commission Selects EV Connect, ClipperCreek to Upgrade Existing EV Charging Infrastructure. As implementation partner for the $1.9 million project, EV Connect will upgrade legacy chargers intalled in the 1990’s throughout California, providing adaptations to accommodate existing electric vehicles, while updating charger stations to the new SAE-J1772 standard of new car models. “By upgrading existing electric vehicle charger stations across the state, California continues its leadership in promoting alternative fuel and plug-in vehicle technology,” said Energy Commissioner Anthony Eggert. “This investment will help prepare California for a clean, energy efficient future and advance the state's transportation infrastructure.” In anticipation of new car models entering the market from companies such as Nissan, Coda Automotive, General Motors, Ford and Fisker Automotive, among others, work is slated to start in the fall of 2010 and finish by winter of 2011. “We felt we made a solid offer to the State considering many of the existing units were ones we installed in the 90s,” said Jason France, CEO of ClipperCreek. “This opportunity allows us to update California’s EV infrastructure with the new standards that accommodate all new EVs coming to market.”
