Orlando is set to immediately receive hundreds of free home and public ChargePoint stations for EV as major automotive manufacturers introduce their vehicles in the Orlando region.

Coulomb said that its ChargePoint America program will provide nearly 5,000 charging stations to program participants in nine regions in the US: Austin, Texas; Detroit; Los Angeles; New York; Orlando, Florida; Sacramento, California; the San Jose/San Francisco Bay Area; Bellevue/Redmond, Washington and Washington, DC, and has a strategic partnership with three leading automobile brands Ford, Chevrolet and smart USA.

In addition, installation of the ChargePoint charging stations for electric vehicles are beginning now in all nine designated regional metropolitan areas of the US.

ChargePoint America will offer both public and home charging stations to individuals and businesses.

Richard Lowenthal, CEO at Coulomb, said: “We are also thrilled that the beautiful city of Orlando is the kickoff of our summer tour to raise awareness of the ChargePoint America program delivering infrastructure for EV to cities across the country.

“Orlando is leading the charge and is the recipient of the first installed ChargePoint station under the ChargePoint America program. The installation of these home and public charging stations will create employment for hundreds of people in Central Florida and provide the essential infrastructure necessary for the future of transportation.”
