New Designer Electric Car Charging Stations are Tomorrow's

July 21, 2010 at 10:30AM By Jim Motavalli | comment

I have seen the future of EV charging, and it's really cool looking. ECoitaly just emailed me a photo of its station, which will be unveiled at the Plug-In 2010 trade show in San Jose on the 27th. I can't show it to you until then, but it's proof that we're in a designer race with these babies. ECOtality's Jonathan Read says its' "way smarter and easier to use than any other similar product. It makes it very easy for consumers to switch over to electric driving."

Soon, we'll be buying EV chargers in big-box stores, and they'll be competing to make them visually appealing. Maybe Apple will have one, too, and Steve Jobs will be up there in his jeans introducing it. Stranger things have happened.

EVs have arrived, and they're not yesterday's super-clunky nermobiles. If even the chargers are getting cool, we're on to something. I was watching a video of an old-technology solar EV charger in action, and the thing was so boxy, so ugly, so poorly labeled (dozens of confusing buttons) that it's no wonder they didn't take off back then. Just look at the thing:

Meet the Coda Electric Car, Soon Available in California

LOS ANGELES--I spent four days in California running back and forth between green car companies, including Coda Tesla Fisker and AC Propulsion This state is becoming the epicenter of EV development for several reasons: environmental inclinations, weather, and governments (both state and local) increasingly willing to subsidize both EV purchases and the charging stations they'll need to plug into.
Among the charging projects targeting California are ChargePoint America, the EV Project and a new $5 million effort by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Many of the charging companies are located in California, too, including Coulomb Technologies. Given all that charging synergy, it's not surprising that Santa Monica-based Coda's early production will go to California only. I visited Coda and found a beehive of activity, as the company tries to get a car ready for the market by the end of the year.

Going Green - Recycling Now!

Have you ever looked at the newspaper in your home and think about how much paper is being used everyday?

What about your Coke or Pepsi cans – have you ever wondered how much metal is needed for all the world’s aluminum cans, which we eventually throw away?

If your answer to these questions is that you have never noticed or thought about any of these matters, maybe it is time to get  show you how we can save the planet if we all just recycle!  Did you know:

• Recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours.
• Glass can be recycled virtually forever. It never wears out.
• The amount of steel that's tossed every year is enough to build all the new cars.
• Paper made from recycled paper uses 70% less energy
• We use 4 million plastic bottles every hour, but only 25% of them are recycled. 

Recycled Tips for summer

Clean or replace air filters on your air conditioning unit at least once a month.

Use a microwave when- ever you can instead of a conventional oven or stove. 

Reverse your indoor ceiling fans for summer .

Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy

Change your light bulbs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last 10 times longer than a standard bulb and use at least two-thirds less energy.

Keep your thermostat at  78 in summer.
