M·CAM Aids Technology Commercialization in Danville

December 25, 2010 –– As a new market for electric vehicles and related infrastructure emerges, Danville’s Advanced Vehicle Research Center wants to help guide the charge.

In front of the center’s 16,000–square–foot building on Stinson Drive in the Cyber Park, the AVRC plug–in hybrid Toyota Prius recharges in the parking lot at one of two Coulomb Technologies’ ChargePoint–networked charging stations – first two stations installed in Virginia.

Inside, AVRC Executive Director Richard “Dick” Dell gets a message on his cell phone to let him know the charge is done.

While the available charging stations currently take several hours to half a day to recharge the battery, Dell envisions a future where drivers would pull electric vehicles into gas stations and rest stops to mostly charge up in 20 minutes. Drivers would get an account to use the charging stations and could download an application on their cell phone to find them.
