BOWIE, MD- SemaConnect, the leading EV Charging Station and Software company for
commercial applications, today announced the introduction of their Remote Charging
capability on all of our public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
This service will allow electric vehicle drivers to charge their electric vehicles
easily through their Smartphone without having to swipe credit cards.

**_To use this new feature:_**

 1. electric vehicle drivers simply visit a SemaConnect ChargePro station (www.semacharge.
    com/stations), access [www.semacharge.com](https://network.semaconnect.com/) with
    a smartphone and click “start charging now.”
 2. They then enter the station serial number, which is printed right on the station
    along with any credit card details.
 3. The next step is to confirm the station location and cost. SEMA Charging By The

 4. Charging will then be remotely authorized and the driver will be able to plug into
    the charging station and begin charging.
 5. Once the charging session is complete, the user’s credit card will be charged for
    the cost of the charging session.
 6. There is no membership account required, unlike other companies that require a 
    membership account to activate a charging session, so the process is swift and 
    the electric vehicle driver won’t have to worry about carrying a specific card.

**_The service is fully automated and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and
is available on all of our public ChargePro charging stations._**

SemaConnect’s ChargePro™ EV charging stations are smart and sophisticated, yet simple,
safe and reliable to use. In order to charge an electric vehicle, users unplug the
connector from the station into the inlet on the electric vehicle. When the bright
LED lights turn from blue to green, the vehicle is charging.

 * The company has grown vastly from it’s humble start-up days into the third largest
   EV Charging station company in the United States based on number of stations 
   installed.
 * SemaConnect counts Walgreens, Brookfield Properties, Simon Properties and Corporate
   Office Properties Trusts among their cohort of growing clients.
 * When finished, users unplug the connector from the vehicle and return it to the
   station.
 * It’s as easy safe as plugging-in a cell phone.
