US Gets Its First Multi-Car EV Charging System

Thanks to Recharge Solutions Int'l LLC, the United States now has its very first multi-car electric vehicle charging system solution, which will be installed in urban areas across the country. With this system, the company aims to provide EV charging to millions of people who live and/or work in high rise buildings with multi-level garages, as well as to fleet operators and other large garage owners/operators such as airports, hospitals and universities.

Recharge Solutions has entered into an agreement with ClipperCreek to initially modify its existing CS-40 charger and to manufacture the system. The modified CS-40 will be available within 30 days, and it is anticipated that the fully integrated centrally controlled System will be available by Q4, 2011.

The company has also entered into an agreement with MasTec Inc to sell the electric vehicle system to condominiums and apartments in urban markets throughout the U.S. and to provide installation and maintenance services.

The patent-pending design supports control and management of a network of multiple charging stations from a single, smart master control unit, and can be customized to suit a variety of parking environments such as valet parking and assigned or unassigned spaces. It can also be expanded up to 100 cars simultaneously, if demand grows.

"There are multiple benefits to garage owners/operators using our System.  First and foremost, this new System can be integrated into existing garages without interfering with normal garage operations.  Secondly, there are no capital or operating expenses for garage owners/operators. Finally, of course, is the opportunity for these garages to operate as green facilities by providing alternative energy sources to their customers," said Recharge Solutions' Founder & CEO, Matthew Leibowitz.
