Heck, get me your spare fob in advance and I'll even secure the L1 in the trunk of your own vehicle and/or move it off the EVSE stall, if that's what you want.
Thanks Michael, that is very cool of you! I missed that in the other thread and just reread it again now. I may take you up on it.
occ said:Hey omkar, I'll be in the same boat (I'm in Tustin). I think we will need plan B - hoping that 1 of 2 spots available to charge is not very good odds to avoid being stranded.
My plan was to visit SouthCoast Plaza for an hour to top off the LEAF, which is 39 miles one way, but the roundtrip back to South Coast Plaza is 80 miles...cutting it close.
An alternate would be to downtown Anaheim, at city hall (according to Chargepoint), which is 34 miles one way.
Both places have restaurants and shopping to kill an hr or so for enough charge to get back to Irvine/Tustin.
What do you think?
I think those are both viable options but it might be easier to stop by at one of the Nissan dealers.
I'm thinking of doing this:
1. First, I'll try to get an L2 spot and put up a courtesy card
2. If both L2's are occupied, I'll use my L1 EVSE (secured with padlock) and see if Michael is available to unplug and secure it
3. If both L2's and both L1's are occupied OR if I can't park close enough, I'll leave a key with someone who would be kind enough to visit LAX to plug my car in.
4. If I don't have any luck with the above, I will try to stop by one of the dealers on the 405 (Power, Carson, or Hooman). I think I might even be able to make it down to Surf City but that might be cutting it a little too close for comfort.
