SemaConnect Chosen by Bozzuto/La Salle Investment Management to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Senate Square Luxury Apartments in Washington, D.C.

BALTIMORE, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With over 700 electric vehicle charging stations across the Washington DC and Baltimore area, property owners and managers have realized the great demand for convenient and fast ways to charge their electric vehicles. SemaConnect, Inc. announced today that they were chosen by Bozzuto/La Salle Investments to install four electric vehicle charging stations at the property the company owns and manages at 201 I Street NE Washington DC . The electric vehicle charging stations will offer tenants an additional location to charge their electric vehicle in downtown DC. Officials cite the high tenant demand for this amenity as the reason for choosing SemaConnect.

Billed as the first luxury rental property in the H Street Corridor — the crossroads of Washington, DC - the apartments offer impeccable finishes, state-of-the-art appliances, dynamic city views, a rooftop pool and dog park, all close to Union Station and Capitol Hill.

"With fuel cost savings and excellent performance, there are many reasons DC residents are making the switch to electric vehicles,"  said Mark Pastrone, VP of Business Development  at SemaConnect. "Forward thinking property owners and managers are helping to further grow the adoption of EV's by installing charging stations. We are pleased to be working with Bozzuto and La Salle Investment Management on this pioneering project."

SemaConnect's networked electric vehicle charging stations and web-based management software makes it easy for station owners to deploy at their properties.  The stations are sophisticated networked Level II (240Volts, 30Amps) commercial grade and comes bundled with SemaCharge, a web-based management software that station owners can:

?     Manage time-of-use pricing with built-in payment gateway
