Reflecting on 2013...






To kick off 2014 we reflect on 2013 and all the accomplishments we’ve made.

The Tesla Model S being named the 2013 Motor Trend car of the year is proof that 2013 was a great year for electric vehicles. And since the industry is growing so rapidly it makes sense that there would be a greater need for a larger charging infrastructure.

One of our most exciting developments has been the growth of our SemaConnect employees. Several new members have joined our team this year, both in the Maryland office and on our national sales team. We have increased our geographic expansion to also include Canada, Hawaii & the Caribbean.

In the beginning of December, we had our annual holiday party that tied into our National Sales Meeting. Our team continues to grow as we expand and continue our movement as a top tier company in the EV industry.

40% of our team now drive EV’s! We have the whole array from Volt, Leaf, Fusion & more.

We partnered with Recargo who has a mobile app called ‘PlugShare’. The partnership is called ‘Pay with Plugshare’ and it allows you to start charging sessions from SemaConnect charging stations straight from the PlugShare app. We’ve focused on developing easy methods to start charging sessions. If you haven’t downloaded the PlugShare app and you are an EV driver, you should definitely do that immediately.

In the fall of 2013 USGBC instituted new guidelines for charging stations stating that they need to be networked for installers to receive LEED points. Our ChargePro charging stations come bundled with SemaCharge, our web based management software. Having a networked charging station makes it easy and convenient to manage and use a charging station.

Thank you to all of our loyal readers for following along with us on our journey! We greatly appreciate your continued support and we look forward to providing you the best electric vehicle charging experience in 2014!

Charging into 2014!





Hi everyone! It's a brand new year - 2014! It's going to be a great year and I'm so pleased to have you all along for the ride. I want to keep you guys posted with SemaConnect news and provide some insider information as we get back into the swing of things.

I was here for the few days in between Christmas and New Year's when most everyone else had taken off until January 2nd and it felt really lonely and strange without all the usual faces I see every day.

Now the office is starting to feel like there's life in it again, as everyone filters back in from their holiday vacations. You can hear the buzz of conversation as we get back into the swing of having weekly meetings and business as usual.

We are kicking off the New Year by identifying our personal goals as well as our bigger company goals. In a staff meeting this week, our team reflected on the growth of SemaConnect. We discussed how the things each of us do every day bring us closer to our big picture.

As for the girls in the Marketing department, we've been setting ourselves up for success by getting ourselves organized and coming up with a strategy for 2014.

Here's to a fresh start in 2014 and productive and prosperous New Year!
