CLIPPERCREEK LAUNCHES the HCS-60, HIGH POWER 240V 48Amp CHARGING STATION – Starting at $899

Posted on March 27, 2014May 13, 2015 by clippercreekusa

Adding to ClipperCreek’s HCS series product line is the new HCS-60, a powerful and rugged 48 Amp station paired with a highly durable rubber molded vehicle cable and connector. Redefining power, convenience and value, this 240Volt, level 2 electric vehicle charging station, rated for both indoor and outdoor use, is priced at $899.

Starting at $899, this is the best valued 48 Amp charging solution on the market.

“Electric vehicle charging rates are rising and some customers have asked for higher power stations to future proof their installation investment,” says Will Barrett, Inside Sales Manager at ClipperCreek, “the ClipperCreek team has responded with 48 Amp charging, that is 11.5kW of power.”

The HCS-60 is compatible with all plug-in vehicles available today. With 48 Amps available for charging, the HCS-60 is perfect for vehicles that can take advantage of higher charging currents like the RAV4EV, the Tesla Model S, or electric fleet trucks. The HCS-60’s rugged design and ample 25 foot charging cable makes it the best solution for any fleet, commercial property, or home owner looking to charge an electric vehicle today, and into the future.

The HCS-60 comes with the latest in vehicle connector technology from ClipperCreek. The high power charging cable provided with the unit is rubber over-molded for increased durability and superior cold performance. “The larger conductor size for the high power transfer required special care to design for real world operation,” said Jason France, CEO of ClipperCreek, “we used rubber over-molding to fully seal the connector’s head and increase the durability in the rough commercial world, the rubber cable jacket increases cold weather flexibility of the cable.”

NISSAN LEAF HITS 100,000 SALES

Posted on February 26, 2014May 13, 2015 by clippercreekusa

With only three years on the market, the Nissan LEAF has secured its 99,999^th and 100,000^th buyers! Originating in Japan, the Nissan Leaf made its debut in the marketplace, in December 2010, and quickly made a positive impact on drivers worldwide.

In his recent article, “Nissan Leaf Sales Hit the 100,000 Mark”, featured in The Christian Science Monitor, writer Antony Ingram details this auto industry milestone. According to Ingram, buyers 99,999 and 100,000 have similar experiences which led to their respective purchases this year – most notable being the LEAF’s style, low running costs, quality and performance.

“’The Nissan LEAF is perfect for everyday commuting, and there is no problem with charging it’” explained Dr. Garner the 100,000^th LEAF buyer. “’It is ideal for the family as it is quiet and not tiring even on longer journeys, because there is no vibration. Above all, it is a fun to drive car!’”

The consensus among electric car buyers seems to be that you just need to experience this car to love it. So as positive public opinion of this model electric car matches the increasing sales numbers, more electric car owners hit the road.

Fundamentally, where there is growing demand for electric cars, automakers and electric car accessory engineers respond in kind to the shift. And, what new electric car owners quickly discover is that charging their new electric chariot is just as simple as the car is fun!

ClipperCreek of Auburn, California has a variety of 240V EV Charging Stations that are a great fit for the Nissan LEAF and for all other electric vehicles. ClipperCreek offers 240V EV charging stations that are both stationary and portable. These 240V EV Charging Stations can drastically reduce the time required to charge compared to the 120V cord sets that come with all plug in vehicles.

Buy the right charger for your Nissan LEAF.

Auburn amps up the draw for electric cars

2 charging stations coming to City Hall, Multi Modal Station in 2015

By: Amy Lobenberg, Journal Staff Writer

2 charging stations coming to City Hall, Multi Modal Station in 2015

Thanks to the combination of a $10,000 grant and two electronic vehicle charging stations, donated by an up-and-coming local business, the city of Auburn is poised to ride the wave of the future by inviting alternative-energy motorists to visit town.

Mayor Bridget Powers and City Councilman Mike Holmes worked together to find funding for the $ 13,570 vehicle charging stations project, which was unanimously approved Monday night by the council.

Holmes, who is chairman of the Placer County Air Pollution District, said he encouraged the city to apply for the program’s Clean Air Grant, which it received in April in the amount of $10,000. The additional $3,570 will come out of the city general fund.

Powers said the two chargers needed to complete the project, which cost $1,309 apiece, are being donated by ClipperCreek Inc. owner Jason France.

“Many years ago, Jason said to me, ‘You know, if you want to put charging stations in and if you have built the facilities to get the power and all that, I can provide the charging stations,’” said Powers. “I really appreciate what ClipperCreek is doing for us. It’s great that a local business is doing something to support Auburn.”

France’s company has been in town since 2006, and France has been in the electric car business since 1994. He said Tuesday that he is happy to help the city with alternative fueling options.

“I told Bridget and the city that we would definitely donate two of our HCS-40 models and pedestals at no cost because we love Auburn, the citizens and electric cars.”

The two devices are set to be placed in the parking lot of City Hall and in the parking lot of the Multi Modal Station near Nevada Street and Blocker Drive.

Council members said Monday that they hope the devices boost local tourism and the economy.

The two stations will be open to public use and will be offered free of charge.

Bernie Schroeder, director of Public Works, said the components needed to install a fee system would be too costly for the city. She added that the stations would require little or no upkeep.

“There is very little maintenance involved whatsoever,” Schroeder said. “They are foolproof minus any vandalism that may occur.”

France said he felt Auburn is making the right move by including more charging stations within the city. He noted that he has several of the devices in the parking lot of his business, at 11850 Kemper Road, which are used frequently by employees and visitors.

“We get a significant number of people who stop here on their way to Tahoe,” said France. “Then, while they are waiting, they walk across the street to Chevy’s or one of the other restaurants.”

France added that, based on market research, electric cars are growing in popularity, which has helped his business become a competitive, worldwide presence.

“This is the decade of the electric car,” said France. “I am sure of it.”

City Administrative Analyst Megan Siren said the two Auburn charging stations will be up and running by May 31, 2015.
