    outlet choices at an RV park

    I'm glad to hear that they let you charge for free. I was up there last week w/my RV and had asked them if they were open to letting EV's charge in the park. Looks like it worked out. I will have to make my next trip up there in the Leaf.

    SAE Planning vote to formally deny CHAdeMO in US

    and hill, This location is probably one of the most used of the 3 QC's the Bay Area has. Plenty of Leaf's getting use out of it. This area will take all the Chademo's we can get.
