ECOtality may have doubled the number of electricity-powered vehicle miles from its chargers during the past six months, but that doesn't mean the San Francisco-based company is taking its foot of the figurative gas pedal.ECOtality, whose Blink stations are used across the country by drivers of light-duty plug-ins like theNissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, has unveiled its Minit Charger 12 for fleet operators looking to boost efficiency for their electric-drive utility vehicle fleets.
The company's Minit Charger 12 offers fast-charging capabilities for multiple vehicles. ECOtality boasts that the Minit Charger 12 can "optimize battery life" and has the "highest sustained charge rate." The device can also handle batteries with voltage ranges from 24 to 80 volts.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) launched itsEV Project in 2009 by way of a $99.8 million grant allocated to ECOtality, which set out to distribute as many as 14,000 home-based charging stations. The DOE funded the EV Project with another $15 million the following year.
So far, the EV Project has collected plug-in driving data from more than 62 million miles of electric-powered driving. That number has doubled since last summer.
