Yay, got my fob yesterday :D I tried it out at the Bellingham QC last night and it worked just fine. Interestingly enough, there were two other Leafs in the in the parking lot. Chatted with one of the owners for a bit while charging, he was surprised that the location was up and running.

I've thought about doing that. I've hesitated a bit since it's not officially open yet, the "Opening Soon" banner is still tied to the posts in front of the chargers.

The QC location in Bellingham has an "UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES will be towed away" sign behind it but no one pays much attention to it. Another signpost with no sign appeared in March -- I was wondering whether that was for "EV Charging Only" signage. Unfortunately, the Bellingham QC location is...

Silver Jeep Cherokee? Yeah, I think it's someone who works nearby. I see it parked there for hours at a time 3 or 4 days a week.

Heh :) The Bellingham QC location shows up on the AV portal for me, it lists the address as 222 36th Street. The Burlington QC location doesn't show up on the AV portal but it's at the same physical location as a pair of ChargePoint L2 chargers. Their address is listed as 448 Fashion Way...

There's a coming QC in Burlington that's on the AV network, about 25 miles south of Bellingham. I was chatting with an AV installer a few days ago and he said the QC in Burlington is almost ready to go. I saw an EcoTality press release on a new QC near Lake Union in Seattle, but I'd guess the...

The WA DOT/AVinc quick charge stations in Washington are starting to come on line. I got my first QC at the Bellingham location today :) Hopefully they'll be all online by mid June. There aren't any QC locations between between Olympia and Burlington (about 130 miles) because the DOT expected...

I'm getting my first DC quick charge at the Bellingham QC location. I called the 888 # and they turned on the charger for me.

I just got an email from AVInc with login info. Hopefully the key fobs will be following soon... The web site shows the Bellingham QC "available", so I'll probably try calling the 888# to see if they'll turn it on for me :)

I stopped by the Bellingham QC location this morning to look for the phone number (yep, it's 888-833-2148) and chatted with an Aerovironment rep that was there working on the L2 charger. He said they're testing several locations and that a call to the the 888 number should be able to activate...

My understanding is that there will be an L2 station at the rest area on I5 just south of Blaine. It's listed in the "coming soon" column here: http://westcoastgreenhighway.com/electrichighways.htm

The same thing happened to me; left it plugged in with timer set to 80%, when I got back a week later the 12v battery was almost dead. I've left it longer without being plugged in with no problem.

Yep. I haven't found any way to stop charging.

Awesome! Is the flash on the CPU or is it external? Hopefully it'll be easy to get at :) Anything like JTAG or an ISP port on the board?

Progress! A new sign on the QC in Bellingham :roll:

I emailed DoT a week ago. No reply yet. I filled in the contact form on AV's site yesterday. No reply there, either. The QC in Bellingham now appears to be off. They don't seem to be ready for actual customers, yet.

My understanding is Bellingham happened to be first just because it was first to get through all the paperwork (agreements, contracts, permits, and so on). The DoT rep I talked to last fall said they were working on multiple locations. I agree that the layout of the charging area is poor. It...

$40 a month is a deal breaker for me. I'm guessing I'll use maybe 10 quick charges a year, which would be $48 per charge. At that price, it's cheaper and more convenient to take the Prius. On top of that, there will be multiple quick charge providers along the I5 corridor. The Washington...

This afternoon, a co-worker walked by the QC here in Bellingham and there was a guy charging his Plug in Prius on the L2 charger but parked in front of the QC. He chatted with the PiP owner for a few minutes, and the Prius onwer called the DoT about getting access to the charger and they...

I'm probably atypical, but I'd probably do that often. Most of my trips would then require a single QC+L2 at the midpoint. For example, it's 75 miles from Bellingham to Lynnwood. Easy to do with 100% charge but would be really tight on an 80% charge. I'd rather L2 charge Lynnwood while I'm...
