From Mayor Quan's Newsletter:

Coulumb Technologies' ChargePoint charging stations were unveiled this week at the Oakland Airport with city of Oakland representatives Council President Larry Reid and Senior Policy Advisor for Economic Development Drew Lisac; Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Deborah Ale Flint; Coulomb Founder and CTO Richard Lowenthal; and a testimonial by a Bay Area EV driver and OAK customer.  

The ChargePoint Network expansion into Oakland International Airport brings EV drivers easy-to-use unique charging services including the ability to: check real-time status and location of unoccupied charging stations, reserve a charging station, track and report greenhouse gas and gasoline savings and receive charging status notifications by SMS, email or smart phone (iPhone and Blackberry) applications. Coulomb's ChargePoint Network is open to all drivers of plug-in vehicles and all manufacturers of electric vehicle charging stations. 

 

ChargePoint stations are located in OAK's Premier Lot, located directly opposite the terminals. There is no additional fee for EV charging. Parking rates are priced competitively at $3 per 30 minutes for up to 5 hours, and $36 for 5 to 24 hours.
