Illinois Leads the Country with Inclusion of Level 1 in EVSE Rebate Program

 

Waukegan, Illinois (September 6, 2013) –Telefonix Inc. announced today that commercial Level 1 electric vehicle charging stations are eligible for rebates in the recently released Illinois Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program, now accepting applications through December 19, 2013. John Hipchen at Telefonix Inc. commented, “With the value and economics that Level 1 brings to longer-term parking situations, it makes sense for the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to include Level 1 units in incentive programs for commercial EV charging. We see this as a move by the State of Illinois to include all viable technologies in State programs to promote plug-in vehicles.”

 

The Telefonix Level 1 charging station called the L1 PowerPost, is specifically designed for parking areas where vehicles park for extended periods of time. Locations that are prime targets to enjoy the benefits of Level 1 electric vehicle charging include workplaces, airports, hotels, train stations and schools. The exterior of the L1 PowerPost can be customized with logos or advertising and the retractable cord reel minimizes tripping hazards while protecting the cord from damage.

 

Bob Tortorello, Sales Manager at Telefonix, commented, “We believe Illinois is the first state in the country to include commercial Level 1 charging in a rebate program. I’m proud that my home state has taken this progressive approach. Although we are already busy filling orders, I expect our business within the State of Illinois will increase dramatically in the next few weeks, now that commercial Level 1 units qualify for rebates.”
