Car Charging Group announced that its electric vehicle charging services are now available near the financial district and South Street Seaport at the Rapid Park garage in New York City, NY. This service area gives electric vehicle (EV) drivers the ability to quickly and easily recharge their EV’s when they are in the lower Manhattan area in close proximity to Pace University and New York Downtown Hospital.

“With a growing number of people driving EVs, we wanted to provide our customers the convenience and reassurance of recharging while at work or enjoying the many restaurants at nearby South Street Seaport,” said Kevin Wolf, Rapid Park Regional Director. “Working with CarCharging to provide EV charging services as a shareable amenity, we can now offer Rapid Park’s EV customers the ability to park and rapidly recharge their electric vehicle in one location.”

The primary technology within CarCharging’s EV charging services is a Coulomb Technologies EV fast charging station, referred to as Level II. This charging station delivers 240 volts with 32 amps of power to quickly charge the battery of an EV. CarCharging’s services utilize the SAE J1772™ connector, which has become essentially the industry standard, after being adopted by nearly all automobile manufacturers.

Drivers can begin using any intelligent CarCharging station by simply registering and creating a CarCharging account online, then attaching a small card to their keychain for direct use at the station. Drivers with the keychain card can use any and all charging locations on the ChargePoint® Network. CarCharging stations also accept direct credit card payment.

The ChargePoint® mobile application provides real-time charging station locations with turn-by-turn directions. Drivers will soon be able to reserve a time slot, guaranteeing access to EV charging stations to recharge their electric vehicle.
