Sierra Nevada Brewing Installs Networked Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles

Coulomb Technologies has announced that Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has installed its ChargePoint™ Networked Charging Stations at its brewery in Chico, CA. The two charging stations are available for patrons and employees of the brewery with electric vehicles. Coulomb’s charging stations are an important part of Sierra Nevada’s sustainability initiatives that include solar, fuel cells, recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation and transportation improvements. Sierra Nevada is the first corporation to install the ChargePoint networked charging stations.

“Along with our award-winning brew, we take our commitment to the environment very seriously,” said Ken Grossman, owner and founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. “To be the first company to install these charging stations is another milestone in our history and we are proud to lead by example. We hope and expect other organizations will follow in our footsteps in reducing their carbon footprint and our country’s dependence on foreign oil.”

“Sierra Nevada has a history of initiatives designed to protect our environment,” said Richard Lowenthal CEO of Coulomb Technologies. “Coulomb’s charging stations bring many benefits to Sierra Nevada and their patrons, including access to a nationwide charging network and advanced Smartphone integration features. By using Coulomb’s fully-managed charging station solution for plug-in vehicles, brewery patrons have a safe and secure location to fuel up while dining.”

Coulomb's ChargePointSM Network addresses needs of electric vehicle drivers, utilities, governments, and parking space owners. Consumers subscribe to the ChargePoint Network and receive a ChargePoint Smart Card that allows them to charge their car at any ChargePoint station worldwide.
