Thanks for the address. Good 10 minute charge/top off location for those who are trying to go roundtrip from San Jose to San Francisco or vice versa.

the cost for the 350Green, is $21.00 for a card that gets you three 30 minute sessions, so $7.00 a charge potentially.

Steve, please have a look at the following thread. Better yet, join the SF BayLEAFs Facebook group:Spies said:Did you charge?OrientExpress said:The Stanford Mall QC station in Palo alto seems to be up and running:
Did you need to use a card or call a phone number?
How much was it?
More details please!
Also does anyone know if there was a ribbon cutting or any other event when this unit went online?
GoingGreener said:I requested a 350Green EV charging card from their website online at http://350green.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . The next morning I got a call from their Customer Svc. Mgr.
They have their own card system now which their quick chargers will require for use. The quick charge fee is $7/use (30mins). To get the card, I gave an authorized one-time $21 charge via Visa/Mastercard (for 3 charges). This would be like making any one-time purchase on a credit card over the phone. The CSM said if the $21 is used up, then have to repeat another one-time charge. They do not keep credit card data. She said safer this way. Call them ASAP if you happen to lose your card. She also mentioned that it's not recommended to use credit cards with the RFID at chargers because it's not secure how the credit card info is transmitted. I didn't ask, so not sure if that means that would be an option.
CSM said they have/are changing their Walgreen L2s to use this card also. I used a Chargepoint card at one location before, but she said, no more. The L2s at Walgreens are currently still free to use. Since I'm getting their card, I didn't ask if any RFID credit card could initiate free charging.
Suppose to get 2 confirm emails: 1) of my $21 credit card charge within 2 days 2) when the EV charging card gets mailed to me within 5 days
Hopefully, we all can test out quick charging soon!

Although I understand your point about carrying various cards around.

A Los Angeles-based firm claims to have installed California’s first public fast-charging station, which opened for business last week. The unit, which can recharge the battery pack of a Nissan Leaf in about 30 minutes, is located at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, adjacent to Stanford University and about 30 miles south of San Francisco.
Roughly 2,000 public charge stations dot the state, according to Obrie Hostetter, the regional director of 350Green, the firm that installed and manages the Palo Alto station. None of those, however, offered fast-charging capabilities on a self-serve basis. The company owns and operates the fee-based charger, and plans to install another 24 units this year at retail locations in the Bay Area. Use of the chargers would require a membership with 350Green, which charges $21 for three 30-minute charge sessions...
