MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Nov. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Car Charging
Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CCGI) ("CarCharging" or "Company"), the largest
owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging
services, announced that it will enhance the performance of its
Blink Level II commercial EV charging stations. After exhaustive
research and testing, CarCharging has selected TE Connectivity Ltd
("TE") as the new supplier for the cord set for the Blink Level II
commercial EV charging stations. TE provides the cord sets for GE,
SemaConnect, Schneider, and other EV Charging station
suppliers.
All Blink Level II EV chargers that are now sold and/or deployed
will include the new cord set and will provide the maximum unit
amperage of 30 Amps. CarCharging also intends to replace the
cord sets on all of the installed Blink Level II EV chargers in
commercial locations and then restore the amperage to its maximum
capacity (30 Amps). Prior to the acquisition of the Blink related
assets, ECOtality, the former owner of these assets, elected to
reduce the amperage of these stations to 24 Amps, which as a
precaution, CarCharging has maintained.
"Since the acquisition of the Blink related assets, CarCharging
has been committed to improving the overall performance of the
Blink EV charging stations and, specifically, the replacement of
the Rema cord sets on the Blink Level II EV chargers," said
Michael D. Farkas, Founder and Chief
Executive Officer of CarCharging. "After extensive research and
testing, we are confident that the cord sets from TE will support
the Blink Level II EV charging stations in performing at their
maximum capacity and allow EV drivers to charge their vehicles more
rapidly."
Property owners or managers interested in learning more or
