Felt like trying it out so went to Santa Monica downtown for lunch. I heard they changed out AVCon charger for J1772.
Sure enough. Two CC J1772 chargers right at the end. I was the only Leaf there .
SOC was listing 50 miles ECO (and 50% ish) on gauge. Car said it would take 4:30 at 240v to charge. Checked iPhone app, said level at 50mi.
I plugged in (no problem) and went to eat. Check iPhone at exact :30. The charge was up to 60mi. Finished my lunch and walked back. Unplugged car and got in. Car says 64 miles and 70 ECO. Driving away it dropped from 70 pretty fast and settled around 65. So figure I got around 15 ECO miles during my lunch. And that covers my commute home...
Further proof that adding a charger to your business encourages patronage.
*Of course I paid $4.50 to park at this particular lot in Santa Monica and new that going in. Sort of negates the benefit in this case. I just wanted to do the experiment.

(I even left an "I was there" from the phone so others know the J1772 is available)
