It's interesting in that it is a propaganda piece by a sociologist but IEEE still published it. I am not clear at this point whether Zehner really believes what he is saying, whether he found a niche where he could get some media exposure and make some money, or whether this is an extension on...
It was late when I wrote that, and I misstated it. Of course there are 10 chargers in Balboa Park, and the smart cars were parked at 6 of them.
One charger had a Leaf, 2 Chargers were on the blink (pun intended), and one charger by Reuben H Fleet was inaccessible to me because of the 2 spaces...
Late Sunday afternoon they were plugged into 5 of the 7 Balboa chargers, with the other 2 chargers showing errors such that they wouldn't charge. That definitely made them much less "cute"!
I was able to park at one of the non-functional charger and unplug the car2go next to me (it was plugged...
I received my Blink card and use the Balboa Park chargers for the first time this weekend.
I plugged in by the air and space museum, activated with the Blink card and went over to the Prado for lunch. At lunch I was playing with the new Android app (I believe it was only released on Friday)...
Have you been pestering ECOTality? Yesterday I spoke with both SDG&E and the contractor, and it became immediately clear that they wouldn't do anything unless ECOTality approved and scheduled it and paid for it. I'll be talking to them today.
I am not sure where the ball got dropped. SDG&E...
I spoke with the contractor today. He couldn't guarantee what SDG&E and ECOTality will do, but he said that the situations like this he is aware of have been taken care of quickly and with no additional charge. I have about as simple an install as there is. Newer construction house with the...
I definitely do not have a second meter installed currently. Based on the letter I received, SDG&E is supposed to come out and install it. The question I have is whether the installation is prepped for a second meter. There was room to add a circuit for the charger in my existing box, but I...
The Blink had power to its display immediately, but wouldn't charge until after the inspection. That must mean the display is wired to a different circuit than the main charger itself. After the inspection it charges fine, but I assume I am paying regular top tier rates at the moment.
SDG&E...
When I brought my Leaf home on June 2, the Blink unit would not charge the car , so I had to use the 110V trickle charger. On the following Monday (June 6) the Blink unit was inspected by the city. After the inspection it charges just fine.
Does that make sense? I read that the Blink unit...
I have seen one Volt, about a month ago, at a Vons in Carlsbad.
I will get a nice up close and personal tour of a Volt next weekend when I go to Santa Barbara to visit my parents. They got their Volt last week. They are already bragging that they can come down and show it to me, knowing that...
