The chargers are made either ECOtality (which will install 2,600 Volt chargers) or Coulomb Technologies (1,800 chargers). In all, the DOE helping to fit around 15,000 plug-in vehicle chargers across America. Of course, ‘free′ might be relative term here. That’s what the headline says, but Tony DiSalle, product marketing director the Chevrolet Volt, said statement that, “For Volt owners who want to install faster 240-volt charge station, we expect the Department Energy project to save $1,000 $2,000.” We have heard that these chargers will cost around $2,000.
