350Green Partners with SemaConnect on Largest Commercial Purchase of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

ANNAPOLIS, MD--October 4, 2011: 350Green, a developer of electric vehicle (EV) charging station networks and SemaConnect, a leading developer and producer of smart networked electric vehicle charging stations and sophisticated EV station software, today announced the purchase of 1,500 ChargePro EV charging stations, the largest commercial order of EV charging stations to date.

“Anyone who owns, or is thinking about buying an EV, is concerned about how easy it will be to find a charge when they need one”

"We're proud to partner with 350Green for the national launch of our ChargePro charging stations," said Mahi Reddy, CEO of SemaConnect. "Conveniently located charging stations will play a critical part in the adoption of EVs. With our stations, EV drivers have a safe, easy and reliable means of powering their vehicles."

The need for convenient, public charging is growing fast as most major automakers are already producing electric cars, or will be in the near future. Many urban residents don't have access to home or garage units, and all EV drivers need to have the confidence they can find a charge if their battery runs low while they are on the road.

"Anyone who owns, or is thinking about buying an EV, is concerned about how easy it will be to find a charge when they need one," said Mariana Gerzanych, CEO of 350Green. "As such, EVs will never become truly mainstream until there is adequate public infrastructure support. These 1,500 chargers and our national network are aimed at getting us over the hump."

Specifically designed for commercial-grade applications, SemaConnect's ChargePro Charging Station is a sleek, compact charging unit that is easily installed and integrated into developing and existing facilities at multifamily, office, retail, fleet and municipal parking locations.

This intelligent, network-based EV charging system features:

• Smart card authentication -- for open or restricted access.
• Smart Grid Integration -- for easy energy metering and demand response.
• Automatic billing/payment system -- for easy revenue generation.
• Easy Installation - use our turnkey solution or your own contractor.
