What are the Top 10 DC Fast Charger locations you would pick to support San Francisco Bay Area LEAF drivers?
Please number your locations in order of priority from 1 to 10: 1 being the most important location, 10 being less important.
Think in terms of:
Extending consumer confidence to purchase LEAFs (in place of a gas car)
DC Fast Chargers can be outside of the SF Bay area to support Bay Area LEAFs going to other destinations.
Enabling the LEAF for more of your trips - longer distances or multiple long errands in one day.
Safety net - for missed charge events, or when your plans suddenly change and you need more charge quickly.
Enabling transit corridors.
This list is about new sites in addition to those that already exist. If you can respond today by around 7pm, that's good for me to pass along recommendations. This thread will still be useful after that, since we all know you can't build a comprehensive DCFC network in a day!!
A couple spots that come instantly to mind for me are:
Enabling I-280 from San Jose to San Francisco:
5. Filoli gardens (Very nice place, but there may be better DCFC sites..)
Enabling travel to the South:
1. Gilroy (Hwy 101)
2. Monterey (Hwy 101)
4. Santa Cruz (Hwy 1)
More along Hwy 1 or 101 ?
Travel to the Northwest:
3. Sacramento
6. Good locations along I-80 to enable travel to Tahoe and Reno?
7. Tahoe
8. Reno
Travel to the North
?
9. Sausalito?
