The auto industry sits on the precipice of a game changing transformation, migrating from over a century of manufacturing internal combustion engines to those that are partially or entirely powered by rechargeable batteries.  The widespread production of the electric vehicle has become a reality.   The strength of the green movement, volatile oil prices, and the need to decrease dependence on foreign oil has created the ideal environment for EV’s. 

The EV model separates itself from its predecessors, the ethanol, hydrogen and natural gas models, in which expensive capital infrastructure is required. The electrical infrastructure, the 240v power supply, already exists at commercial facilities.  The electric car charge station acts as a mere extension of this power source to the vehicle.

It is estimated that there will be one million plug-in electric cars on the road in the United States by 2015 and that EV’s will account for 64% of all vehicle sales by 2030.  Ultimately, an expansive network of public and semi-private charging infrastructure must be created to support this movement.  Level 2 (240V) commercial charge stations will be the backbone of this infrastructure.
