LPI's EV chargers to be integrated with existing ZEAG parking systems as parking facility owners prepare for the arrival of Electric Vehicles later this year.

Santa Barbara, CA and Toronto, ON Canada – Aug 24, 2010 – ZEAG Canada, a leading provider of automated parking management solutions, and Liberty PlugIns, Inc. (LPI), the leading developer of Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) for the parking industry, today announced a sales and technology partnership that enables parking facility owners and operators to install and control LPI's EV charging stations with their existing ZEAG parking management systems.

"EV charging should be an integral part of any comprehensive parking management solution." said John Lovell, President of ZEAG Canada. "We are thrilled to offer our customers a cost effective alternative to the proprietary systems currently on the market. This approach reduces the cost of adding EV chargers and gives our clients complete control over the revenues generated."

Under the terms of the agreement, ZEAG Canada will add LPI's Synchronous Code Generation technology to their system architecture. Ticket issuing terminals will generate a charging authorization code that will be printed on the customer's parking ticket. The driver parks at an open charging station, enters the code on the charger, and connects the cord to the vehicle. The charging process automatically ceases when either the vehicle is fully charged or the charging time purchased has expired.

"Getting your EV charged at a parking lot should be as easy as buying a car wash at a gas station." said Liberty PlugIns' CEO Chris Outwater. "Enabling parking pay stations to perform the billing function of an EV charge transaction makes effective use of the existing hardware and billing infrastructure."
