Voyager invests in charging stations for electric cars
Voyager Capital hasn’t made many bets in the clean technology arena. But that’s changing today with the Seattle venture capital firm leading an investment in Coulomb Technologies, a Campbell, Calif.-based company that is developing a worldwide network of electric vehicle charging stations.
Voyager, along with Rho Ventures, is leading a $14 million investment in the company. Other investors include Siemens Venture Capital and Hartford Ventures.
Coulomb opened its first charging station — operating under the ChargePoint name — in 2008 in San Jose, California. It most recently opened other facilities Detroit, Lincoln City, Oregon and Honolulu, with the company saying that it plans to have more than 1,000 stations up and running this year.
