> "With Coulomb's in-place networked charging station installations,  
> the timing and availability of this iPhone App is perfect," said  
> Felix Kramer, Founder of Palo Alto-based CalCars.org, a leading  
> plug-in hybrid advocacy and technology demonstration non-profit,  
> and an advisor to Coulomb.  "Plug-in vehicle drivers get a cool  
> tool to find charging locations and other destinations. It enables  
> them to boost their electric miles to save money and reduce  
> emissions. Any current or prospective plug-in car owner can check  
> out this app, then show it off to spur even more interest in  
> fueling our cars with cleaner, cheaper, domestic electricity."

> Using the ChargePoint iPhone App, EV drivers can now:
>
>
> • Find charging stations near any specified address.
> • Get turn-by-turn directions to charging stations.
> • See the real-time availability status of charging stations:  
> Available, In Use, or Out of Service.
> • Start and Stop charging sessions directly from an iPhone.
> • Get directions from current location to where the vehicle is  
> charging.
> • Get status on current or most recent charging session (energy,  
> greenhouse gas savings, time).
> • Receive real-time notifications of current charging session.
>
>
> Some features require a ChargePoint® Network driver account with an  
> activated ChargePass™ card.  To create an account, and purchase or  
> activate a ChargePass card, go to www.mychargepoint.net and click

> "This ChargePoint iPhone App for EV drivers is the latest  
> accomplishment in a year of remarkable milestones for Coulomb,"  
> said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. "It was just  
> over a year ago that the City of San Jose became the first in the  
> world to install networked charging stations for EVs.  Today we  
> have more than 120 customers and have shipped stations worldwide.   
> The foundation for these accomplishments is the ChargePoint  
> Network, powered by our advanced networking technology. The  
> ChargePoint iPhone App works in conjunction with our Flex Billing™  
> system such that after charging station owners set prices for  
> charging at their stations, drivers can use the iPhone App to see  
> those prices.  Possibly the most important feature of this  
> application is one that can only be done with networked charging  
> stations - the ability to get real-time status of the station.   
> This way you’ll never drive to a station that is already in use or  
> is out of service."
