Eaton Corp. and Coulomb Technologies announced plans to significantly expand the North American footprint of charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs). Eaton’s Level II and DC quick charging Pow-R-Station charging stations can now connect to Coulomb’s ChargePoint Network, the largest network of independently owned charging stations in the world. The two companies are showcasing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas.

Eaton’s EVSE offerings will now have the capability to access all the functionality of the ChargePoint Network and ChargePoint service plans, including a centralized management infrastructure to set up services; automated billing and transaction payment processing; 24/7 driver support; and driver services that show real-time station availability.
