MIAMI BEACH—Car Charging Group, Inc., a nationwide provider of convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging services, now provides EV charging services at Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham in Harrisonburg, Va.

“Providing electric vehicle services at hotel properties like Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham is a great step forward for CarCharging and electric vehicle drivers,” said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of CarCharging. “Not only do additional EV charging locations reduce range anxiety, but it also encourages EV drivers to travel beyond their standard commutes.”

“To be successful in the hotel industry, you have to be able to recognize industry trends early and adopt them when and where applicable,” said Ray Patel, general manager, Microtel Inn and Suites Harrisonburg. “Allowing guests to check in and plug in is the next step to being known as a green hotel. We’re able to offer EV charging services to our guests while realizing a percentage of the money generated. It’s a win-win situation.”

CarCharging’s services utilize EV charging stations manufactured by ChargePoint, known as Level II, which provide 240 volts with 32 amps of power to quickly refuel an electric vehicle’s battery. EV drivers can easily register and create a CarCharging account online, and attach a small card to their keychain to initiate use and payment at any intelligent CarCharging station. The CarCharging RFID card also allows drivers to use charging locations on the ChargePoint Network, the largest national online network connecting EV drivers to EV charging stations. CarCharging also accepts direct payment via credit card.

Users can pinpoint EV charging station locations using the CarCharging map at http://www.CarCharging.com/. The ChargePoint mobile application for the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry phones also provides real-time charging station location information 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.
