Talon Portfolio Services and Urban Renaissance Property Company Installs Five Charging Ports in Bellevue, WA

Bellevue, WA (January 27, 2014)– Talon Portfolio Services and Urban Renaissance Property Company announced the addition of four level two electric vehicle (EV) charging ports and one DC Fast Charger manufactured by Eaton, to the Bellefield Office Park, located at 1150 114th Ave SE in Bellevue, WA. All five charging locations will run on ChargePoint’s network, the largest and most open EV charging network in the nation with over 15,000 charging locations.

The installation is part of Talon’s ongoing efforts to provide unique offerings and amenities to their tenants. Easily accessed by interstates 405 and 90, the 15-building office campus is the perfect location for charging stations. Talon’s largest tenant, Outerwall, also recently added a fleet of twelve Nissan Leaf vehicles and charging stations of their own.

“Talon Portfolio Services has remade Bellefield Office Park, creating a modern technology campus with exceptional freeway access, minutes from downtown Bellevue,” said Gabe Levin, Managing Director of Asset Management at Talon Portfolio Services. “By providing high speed electric car charging stations we continue to respond to the region’s top employers who wish to offer their employees alternative ‘green’ transportation modes.”

Currently, there are 7,230 EVs and over 700 ChargePoint locations in the State of Washington and 97 ports in Bellevue.

The Talon stations are ChargePoint’s CT400 series – the newest advancement in charging technology, which allows two cars to charge simultaneously. The Eaton fast charger will also run on ChargePoint’s network giving drivers access by simply signing up for a free ChargePoint membership. Drivers can initiate a charging session through their ChargePoint card or the mobile app.

“EV charging is considered the latest perk a workplace can offer their employees while also contributing to a company’s sustainability goals,” said Dimitrios Papadogonas, VP of Marketing with ChargePoint. “These stations are located in the perfect location to provide convenient charging to employees and visitors.” ChargePoint’s mobile app and website provides real-time data and drivers are able to see a station’s availability, navigate to the station, start a charging session and receive updates on the status of their charging session.
