Coulomb Technologies Announces Support for the Unveiling of Electrification Legislation

CAMPBELL, Calif., – May 27, 2010 – Coulomb Technologies today announced support for the unveiling of Electrification legislation in Washington DC. Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate announced bills that address the issues and challenges set forth by the Electrification Coalition in November, 2009. These issues include the high cost of batteries, the absence of a network of chargers, both private (home) and public (shared), the lack of utility readiness, in terms of both IT and physical infrastructure and consumer psychology issues regarding a new technology.

Coulomb Technologies is a founding member of the Electrification Coalition a nonpartisan, not-for-profit group of business leaders committed to promoting policies and actions that facilitate the deployment of electric vehicles on a mass scale in order to combat the economic, environmental and national security dangers cause by our nation’s dependence on petroleum.

“Today our government made significant progress in our goal of reducing our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions though the bipartisan unveiling of Electrification Legislation,” said Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies. “Government legislation brings further credibility and awareness to the future of transportation in our country.”
