“We are very excited to bring CSI’s new 40 kW AC EVSE and 40 kW On-Board Charger to the commercial electric vehicle market,” said David Mazaika – CEO of Coulomb Solutions Inc. “Local utilities are in high demand to install Level 3 – DC Fast Chargers. In some cases, particularly in CA, the wait may be more than 24 months before commercial fleets can start their projects and the costs are very high. CSI is offering a more rational solution that makes business sense for most commercial electric vehicle fleets, where vehicles operate to and from the same location each day and travel less than 300 miles. Our 40 kW EVSE and 40 kW On-Board Charger is innovative, allows fleets to fully charge overnight using standard outlets, can be installed much more quickly and easily, and at a fraction of the cost of a DC Fast Charger. Don’t wait for DC Fast Charging to charge your new electric truck or bus! Charge now!”
