I reported it to the manager almost a month ago, they're not interested.
Randy said:I believe Gary reported that on the previous page.
If you see it broken, and you are there, I would encourage you to go inside and bring it to their attention...I'll see if I can email the 350Green contact I have and see what they know about it...
I went to the SDSU parking info booth near Peterson gym today and asked if we are allowed to charge in a FS (Faculty Staff) lot if we are not an FS. They told me that no we are not allowed unless we have a FS sticker. I told them that is very unfortunate as there are only three DCQC units in the county. I asked for documentation regarding this and they couldn't produce any. I have asked enforcement officers in the past and two of them told me that it IS OK to charge at FS lots. I am getting conflicting info regarding this.Randy said:I found out today that the university has plans to place a parking permit vending machine in Lot G on the other side of the lot from the DC FC. The cost of a permit for the DC FC is supposed to be 50 cents, not sure of the duration....I'll post more when I know more....

This DCFC unit is broken. Both sides are down. Blink support says it had a screen failure, and there are no replacement screens in stock, so it will be down for quite awhile. Make sure it is active on the Blink map before you go there to use it. My wife went there today and really needed a charge, but couldn't get one because it's broken. The L2 charger next to it is for handicapped access only--it is impossible to park legally and hook up to it as a backup, but she did it anyway because she needed to get home. A really poor layout of the parking spots and an unreliable DCFC unit makes for another epic Blink FAIL on this one.Randy said:San Diego's 3rd DC Fast Charging Station opens today...

I'd check status on Blink map but I sure wouldn't rely on that status. Sometimes working units show up offline on the Blink map, and more often broken units show up as operating normally. You might get accurate status by phoning the hotel, but that's not certain and if enough of us do it often enough it might annoy them enough to want the charger gone. The closest thing to good status information might be from plugshare, especially if you see a recently dated review saying it's working.ttweed said:This [Escondido] DCFC unit is broken.

Thanks - Unfortunately plugshare has duplicate entries there which is what threw me off. I'll submit a request to have the entries merged. It also looks like the Bonita Cove stations you mention also have duplicate entries, though I'm unsure as to what PIN location is more accurate.Randy said:There are 4 units just north of the visitor information center, which sounds like where you were. The other 4 are a ways away, by the Roller Coaster in Mission Beach (to the South of the Bahia hotel across the street in the parking lot there...
Is it still free?pchilds said:The Blink DCFC in Escondido is working. :lol:
pchilds said:Blink DCQC down again today!!! If I can't depend on it, I am not going to pay! I didn't charge, because it had worked yesterday. That won't happen again. If I don't require a fast charge to get to my destination, I won't pay for one. DO YOU HEAR ME BLINK? :roll:
Randy said:Which one not working? Did you call it in to the support line?
