I'm looking for someone to carpool with in the San Francisco Bay area. I live in southwest Berkeley and I commute 4 days a week to the San Antonio Road in Mountain View. My employer offers free EV charging (for now), so my commuting costs are pretty low. I'm looking for to carpool as I'd...

From the report: Here's there reasoning on the limits arguement: Wait, What? Can someone explain what the heck they're talking about here?

Ditto what mxp said! Looking forward to using this station if it will be public. Having DCQC at major freeway connections like the Blink near the 101 and the San Mateo Bridge are very convenient. This Intuit station will be on my way home to the East Bay from work and will work superbly if I...

Just yesterday (09/20/12) I was looking at the Blink app on my phone to check the status of the Blink DCQC in Belmont and I noticed a square box (i.e. DCQC) for the Intuit Menlo Park campus location. It showed L3 outlets at the campus, but not available. Today only the 5 L2 stations at Inuit...

Didn't see this anywhere on the boards: http://www.plugincars.com/nissan-leaf-owners-sell-co2-credits-fund-installation-quick-charge-stations-japan-122116.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Looks interesting and it would be wonderful if Nissan could implement this in the US...

With the L2's nearby, why bother parking in the L3 all day though? Unless they too were booked all day by the e-tron and the VW e-golf. I stopped by here last night as my usual public EVSE location was booked all day too. Left one still out and had red tape around it. There was one Leaf...

I'm currently here at Bishop Ranch and the left plug is working. The screen next to the right says "not in service."

Slightly relevant to this topic: I had a interesting exchanging with a Tesla employee on the Dumbarton Bridge today. On the Dumbarton while commuting to work in my Leaf; and he was in a separate car. I was in the center lane and a street-kitted VW GTI rolled up on the right lane. He had his...

In the midst of all this love for 350, where's Ecotality update? Wasn't the latest that commissioning for the VWERL one supposed to be done last week? That reminds me, I should also go see how Nissan Santa Rosa is doing on their L3...

Does anyone know to whom we could talk to get an update on this? I called my the project manager that handled my second meter install and he didn't have any new information on it, although he was aware of it. Told me to check back from time to time...

Anybody been by the Weatherford BMW in Berkeley to see if they have a floor model? I just got a new job and I need to give up my bike for a car for the commute. The ActiveE would be a great fit for me. Wish I had jumped on the registration process sooner!

I saw in the Jan-Feb newsletter for the store that there are EVSE installed in the parking lot already. Has the L3 been installed?

BMW North America Customer Service says it's for the ActiveE program only.

Yeah, we're constantly frustrated by this. We could really save on gas if we could fund an upgrade of our windows. The E-9B meter install was chump change compared to that upgrade though. By the way, the first real bill came in and the EV account cost matches the previous "bill" I got, but...

I dropped by VWERL Belmont station and didn't see anything new. Emailed Jason Smith to get a new ETA and make sure they'll be shouting it from the rooftops. Here's his response: Guess we'll have to wait a little longer. I could have really used it yesterday too...
