AUBURN, California, September 10, 2014

ClipperCreek announces an upgrade in power for the popular HCS-40 and CS-40 series EV charging stations; from 30 Amps to 32 Amps continuous as a standard offering.

The HCS-40 is the first major brand, low cost, Level 2 electric vehicle charging station to break through to the 32 Amp level without increasing the selling price. With 25 feet of charging cable and a “no strings attached” 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, the HCS-40’s durability and usability is on par with what customers have come expect from ClipperCreek products.

ClipperCreek’s focus on continuous product value improvement for electric vehicle customers is unprecedented in the market. Charging at 32 Amps and 240Volts, the 7.7KW HCS-40 now offers increased power for cost conscious customers. All of ClipperCreek’s charging station products are safety certified by independent testing laboratories and compatible with all plug in vehicles available today.

“We are constantly developing new products to bring the next level of customer value to the market,” said Jason France, President and Founder of ClipperCreek. “After an in depth analysis, the ClipperCreek team determined the standards would allow an additional 480 Watts of power for charging without compromising quality, safety, or durability. The company’s HCS-40 and CS-40 models are now offered at the 32 Amp charging level with no increase in price.”

The HCS-40 is well-built, easy to install, and simple to use which translates into installation cost savings when compared to other products on the market. After the junction box is run from the main service, installing the HCS-40 is a snap. Using the provided 2 wall screws and 3 power wires, any licensed electrician can install an HCS-40 in no time at all. There is no need to disassemble the unit or to try to understand complicated installation instructions. In fact, no assembly required. An optional connector holster is available for just $19.

CLIPPERCREEK LAUNCHES ITRON ENABLED SMART METERING CHARGING STATION

The CS-40-SG2 Revolutionizes How Utility Companies Control Electric Vehicle Charging

AUBURN, California, May 20th, 2014

ClipperCreek, Inc., announced today the launch of their ETL listed utility smart grid connected charging station, the CS-40-SG2. The CS-40-SG2 is a game changer in the charging station sub-metering industry. This first of a kind charging station includes an embedded revenue grade sub-meter and a variety of smart grid communications options. Built on the trusted ClipperCreek CS-Series charging platform and Itron’s proven utility meter and powerful communications technology, this solution will extend a utility’s energy management intelligence directly to the charging station through multiple wireless communication interfaces.

The CS-40-SG2 charging station is a result of the joint efforts of ClipperCreek and Itron, each having brought together top notch expertise to design the final product. Combining Itron’s advanced metrology and flexible smart grid communications with ClipperCreek’s tough and trusted charging stations has resulted in a product utility customers can count on. Utilities will now have full visibility and control of electric vehicle charging directly through their smart grid. These units are being deployed in various pilot projects starting this month.

“As electric vehicle charging increases power use across the country, utilities will need a solution that allows them to monitor and control the timing without inconveniencing the customer,” states Jason France, ClipperCreek’s President, “The CS-40-SG2 enables critical functions needed to directly regulate electric vehicle charging cost effectively.”

Key Features of the Itron enabled CS-40-SG2:

1.   ZigBee Smart Energy Protocol 1.1 Demand Response/Load Control capabilities.

2.   Itron revenue-grade embedded sub-meter for precise power measurement.

3.   Meter data recording, including interval data, registers, and tampers.

4.   Wi-Fi local access communications provides charging status, metering data, and Utility DR program information to nearby browser-enabled mobile devices.

5.   Wi-Fi or Cellular as WAN communications for backhauling charging station and metering data including ESPI Green Button data.

AUBURN, California, May 7, 2010.  ClipperCreek, announced today that it has begun delivering the only UL listed, fully SAE compliant charging stations on the market.  The ClipperCreek CS-40 charge stations are the only stations available for immediate delivery that have been tested and met the requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC625).  These units include the universal standard electronic interface and connector, making the CS-40 compatible with all major automaker electric vehicles.

The CS-40 (30 Amp charge rate) line of charge stations from ClipperCreek is in compliance with NEC625 and SAE-J1772™, which ensures its compatibility with the Nissan Leaf, the Chevy Volt, Ford Fusion BEV and all vehicles coming from major automakers.

“While it is exciting to have one station that can charge all new OEM vehicles,” commented ClipperCreek CEO and President, Jason France. “The most important thing is the safety listing of the units.  To the best of our knowledge this is the only station that is certified to be installed in the US.”

ClipperCreek has a line of UL listed products well suited for use in residential as well as public charging settings.   These units are designed to be installed either with a free-standing pedestal or on an existing structure or wall.

“I think the most compelling aspect of our product is that it is made in the USA.” said David Packard, VP of Sales and Marketing at ClipperCreek, “Not only is the unit assembled in California, but all the components, except the vehicle connector, are from US based suppliers and manufacturers.”
