This past month the CATA installed two Level 2+ EV charging stations at the CATA offices in Oakbrook Terrace. As you may know, securing EV charging stations is challenging, but the CATA was able to quickly source and install the chargers though it’s Chicago Auto Show partnership with Autel.

One 2-port charger is located in the parking lot on the west side of the building and the second 2-port charger is located in the indoor parking garage. The chargers are capable of sending up to 19.2 kWh to a single vehicle or 9 kWh to two vehicles. Members visiting the CATA can charge their vehicles by downloading the Autel app, which is available for both Android and iOS phones, or visiting the reception desk for a RFID charge card. The cloud-controlled charging stations can be remotely enabled and allow for the public, employees and customers to have different charging rates.

Demos are available anytime, Monday-Friday from 9a-5p. Please contact Mark Bilek at the CATA to arrange for a time.
