(Un)Official Mitsubishi (Cypress, CA) L3 Scheduling Thread

[x10guy]

^ +1. Mitsubishi has been a class act since day one.

I personally have benefited from the Mitsubishi QC several times. But unfortunately classiness doesn't sell cars and now there is speculation like this. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ten-brands-that-will-disappear-in-2014-181419498.html?page=2

I'm not sure how true it is, but unfortunately sometimes perception can lead to reality.

Mitsubishi posted that the charging stations will be closed to the public from 5pm Wednesday, July 10th until 7am Monday, July 15th. Some kind of event being held there.

The MOD (Mitsubishi Owners Day) event is this weekend. and Cypress is packed!! I'm taking my Pajero down there, but don't expect to find a spot within a mile of that place..

It's the center of the DSM universe for that one day!

Just read that Mitsubishi leased a lot of space in Huntington Beach:

"Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America has leased 167,778 square feet of industrial space in Huntington Beach for its regional headquarters.

The deal will allow Mitsubishi to consolidate three existing Southern California facilities under one roof at 5800 Skylab Road, real state brokerage JLL said."

Sounds like Cypress HQ and the DCQ and other charge stations may be going away. Wonder what their new location charging station plans are?

That's the only way they could stop the Volt parasite.

As I understand it, Mitsubishi Motors North America and Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America are two separate business entities and therefore the chargers should not be going anywhere anytime soon. Having said that, there is a MAJOR charging policy change coming up according to notices posted at the charging stand very recently. Effective May 1st, non-employee usage of all the chargers will be restricted to before and after office hours of 7 am to 6 pm weekdays but will still be available all hours on the weekends. Considering the proliferation of quick chargers in the last year, this is a perfectly understandable move on Mitsubishi's part while still generously offering quick charging that is often needed and not readily accessible at Nissan dealerships, namely after hours. Kudos, Mitsubishi!

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to find charging there during the work day currently. Smart move on their part.

I wish that they would take it as a hint to install more stations (and charge the public to use them!).

We had to get towed home a few weeks ago when this thing was down.

I show like 6 other quick charging stations within 10 miles (http://www.plugshare.com/). Most are the EvGo which are expensive, but seems like a better option than getting towed IMO.
