If OR is 2nd in charging stations per capita (i can cite a few links that say its first) who is first?

**edit** ok, according to an article from Mar 2012, Hawaii was destined to be #1 at one per 5500 residents

OR 2nd at one per 10,000 and WA 3rd at one per 11,800 but a lot of time has passed and wondering if everything went according to plan (which would be shocking, pun intended!)

The fact that BP is mentioned makes me think otherwise

The ZERO motorcycle beat the leading Model S by 8 minutes in Stage 3.

4-8pm, Sunday, July 7, 2013

Expect to park across the street (Doheny Park Road), to the southeast on the corner of Domingo Ave. There is not enough room for the amount of cars I expect on the restaurant / bar side of the street. The dirt parking area and adjoining paved parking is part of the gigantic church that is there across the street, and we will be able to keep all the cars together.

I have invited the Tesla Club of Orange County, who will be attending as part of their regular monthly meeting. Naturally, the Los Angeles and San Diego Tesla Clubs have been invited. Of course, all the local LEAF drivers have been invited, as well as other models, and finally, our EV industry friends who are always invited that help make EV's possible.

The BC2BC-2013 First Place overall winner will hopefully be crowned at this event. The top finishing Tesla Model S driver will receive an $869 value Teslaccessories Center Console Insert. We will have this at the event to try out in YOUR Tesla Model S. Currently, as I write this in Santa Rosa, California at the beginning of Stage 3, the number 43 Tesla Model S team of Jack Bowers and Georg Kuhnke are in first place of the 9 entries this year.

This EVent is sponsored by EVoasis. If you need a room for the night (particularly for our tired and potentially alcohol saturated rally participants), I can recommend nearby:

Residence Inn hotel
33711 Camino Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
(949) 443-3600

The good news for Nissan LEAF and Mitsubishi iMiev drivers is that this hotel has a Fuji CHAdeMO (ChargePoint card) DC quick charger waiting. For others, there isn't much nearby charging except a Nissan dealer across the street with J1772 30 amp service. I do not expect the Tesla Supercharger station to be operational by Sunday, but they are UP AND RUNNING in Hawthorne, Buellton, Atascadero and Gilroy up the 101 freeway from San Francisco.

This will be a big one, so bring a smile!!

The team of Georg Kuhnke and Jack Bowers in Jack's Signature Model S won the BC2BC-2013 All Electric Vehicle Rally, 1500 miles from Canada to Mexico, with a perfect score. They had both the quickest time and the best poker hand, creating a score of 1/1.

They were awarded a trophy and the Teslaccessories Center Console Insert.

In second was the ZERO motorcycle of Terry Hershner, and third was the Model S of Randy and Cheryl Taylor.

Well for some of us the Rally continues! I'm on my way home now and will be hitting a RV park in Red Bluff tomorrow.

Tony, which RV park did Terry pop the main breaker? EVs may not be allowed to charge there anymore and I don't want to get stranded.

It was on 101, so Red Bluff should be OK.

@Luft ... not sure where your are now, but going thru Chico, then Redding Nissan Dealers might be a good alternative to consider.

Teasers for next years rally:

You can now drive from Mexico to Canada solely on Tesla Superchargers right now!

http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In addition, the Superchargers have been increased from 90kW to 120kW in USA, and 135kW in Europe. In addition, Tesla will offer a CHAdeMO adapter.

Several motorcycles are now offered with substantially more than 100 miles of range, some pushing 200 miles. ZERO Motorcycles have CHAdeMO capability.

A Nissan LEAF with 48kWh was recently tested.
