189 Siemens Energy has been commissioned to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to support Loudoun County, Virginia's new commuter park and ride facility in Scott Jenkins Memorial Park. Located 30 minutes outside of Washington, D.C., Loudoun County's initiative with Siemens represents one of the first EV infrastructure deployment projects in the area.

As part of the contract, Siemens will install five multi-level charging stations. These are dual output stations designed for public outdoor applications that can deliver Level II charging and Level I charging through two separate outputs. The devices will be equipped with connectivity via the 4825 ChargePoint Network, an open-system EV charging network that allows access to all manufacturers of vehicle charging stations, provides 24/7 station monitoring and driver support and is claimed to be the only charging network with mobile apps for real-time station status and charging notifications.
