208V (nominal) up to 30A.
Is this AC (J1772) charging or DC ChaDeMo ?

Yes, standard ChargePoint bollard with 1x120VAC NEMA5-15 and 1x208VAC J-1772 (the commercial version of residential 240V). I did not check the 120V. The LEAF will, of course, draw less than the 30A (until 2013 Model Year); probably will draw 16A x 205V (actual) = 3.28kW, meaning it will not "fill" quite as fast as at home (3.7kW), but close.TomT said:208V, 30A has to be J1772.

That's Southern California. Anyone have a map for Northern California/Bay Area?haykinson said:http://www.batchgeo.com/map/aa5c0f4cbf9bd47c7121efb63c74fee8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;mwalsh said:There was a map with the CA locations posted to it, and I've lost track of it.

So, what's new . . . an easy 30% of the PV installation industry has been gouging end users for over a decade. If I'd have thought to look at a DIY book on PV installation prior to our install? . . . shoot, we'd have saved a boat load on costs. Other than the Main 225 amp upgrade panel, and tieing into the grid, it would have been quite do-able. Live and learn.EVDRIVER said:I find this to be a bit of a joke, Walgreens hires EVgo which is only a middleman that adds more layers of cost to third part vendors to do something Walgreens could do on their own. I suspect someone is going to find out the hard way this was a waste time and EVgo is akin to AV and other companies that add nothing but additional cost. I predict a big regret. I expect many more "green" companies stepping up to gouge companies with useless value propositions feeding on ignorance of the marketplace and technology. Get it quick before consumers and companies learn via consumers and the space is commoditized. Stay tuned for more "green" scams from the so called " EV experts" most of which have never driven one or used and EVSE.
My guess is that the LEAF will draw somewhat more than 17A @ 205V to keep the charging power up to spec. Since the Chargepoint offers 30A, there's no reason for the LEAF to stop at 16A... The commercial Chargepoint I've seen, at the Seward Park home of the Hertz LEAF in NYC registers somewhat in excess of 3.7 kW when charging. If Seward Park is 208V, then the LEAF is definitely drawing more than 16A.LEAFer said:probably will draw 16A x 205V (actual) = 3.28kW, meaning it will not "fill" quite as fast as at home (3.7kW), but close.
MrFish said:Has anyone actually seen/used any of the Walgreens charges? I checked at 2 of the locations (Huntington Beach & Chino) but was unable to find any trace, not even signs of pre-construction.
There is one here in Dallas; however, it is owned by a company called evgo. Their chargers are subscription only.MrFish said:Has anyone actually seen/used any of the Walgreens charges?

LEAFer said:I've used both Walgreen's stations in Elk Grove, CA, and discovered (but did not stop at) another one while driving around Sacramento a few days ago (the one at Howe & Arden, also known as "How' about Arden?"). The stations are Coulomb's and are listed on the ChargePoint site.
Minor correction to a (much earlier) post I made: the Elk Grove locations have only the Level 2 J-1772, *not* also an additional Level 1 (like many Coulomb bollards).
