BMW AG's BMW i Ventures electric vehicle unit is making an unspecified investment in California-based Coulomb Technologies Inc. to support the development of a recharging infrastructure for plug-in electrics.
Coulomb's ChargePoint network includes more than 8,600 independently owned EV charging stations in more than 14 countries.
