By: Positive Energy Resources Media Desk A map showing all 17 Houston-area ChargePoint locations, including the 1861 Custom House location, can be found by logging on to www.mychargepoint.net. All current and future electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) owners residing in or traveling to the Galveston area wishing to use the ChargePoint station can obtain a user card by logging onto the ChargePoint site and registering. As a courtesy to new visitors and users, the Galveston Historical Foundation and Positive Energy Resources will provide free access until a user card can be obtained. Guy Mannino is the CEO of Verdek EV, the South Central Region Distributor of Coulomb ChargePoint™ Mannino, the former president of Pirelli Tires USA and VP with Porsche-Audi, is a big believer in the electric car movement - Verdek EV is also the North American distributor for the new Italian Tazzari Zero and also sells the ZAP line of EV’s, two of the more unique and interesting electric vehicles in the growing specialty vehicle segment of the auto market. Mannino has flown in a Tazzari Zero from Italy for introduction to the U.S. at the New York Auto Show, but, as a display of Verdek’s commitment to the Galveston Island ChargePoint project, Mannino has chosen to give Galveston Island residents and Mardi Gras visitors a “Sneak Peek” of the 2010 Tazzari Zero electric sports car. The Zero will be on display at Hotel Galvez from Friday, February 5th until Sunday, February 7th and will be present at the unveiling of the Galveston Historical Foundation ChargePoint installation at 10:00 am February 6th. The plans and projects underway are designed to make Galveston Island a national leader in clean-fuel - sustainable transportation and renewable energy development programs while respecting and preserving the rich heritage of the many historic buildings that have survived devastation numerous times over the past 210 years. It should be noted that electric public transporation is nothing new to Galveston - Electric trolleys were first put into service in 1891 and ran continuously until 1938. The same trolley tracks in use then exist today and a reminder to Galveston's historic transportation past. Equally worthy of note is the fact that the City of Houston recently purchased and installed several Coulomb ChargePoint Charging Stations and has nearly 50 EV’s and PHEV’s in service today. Newly- The public is invited to attend the ChargePoint unveiling and all related events. Mr. Guy Mannino will be available at Hotel Galvez from 6 to 7:30 pm, Friday, February 5th to discuss charging infrastructure and EV's. Positive Energy Resources and Verdek EV encourage all EV owners to show their support by attending the unveiling and to enjoy what promises to be an exciting Mardi Gras Galveston 2010. *********************************** Positive Energy Resources is located in Cypress, Texas, with an office in Galveston.
