Both Plugshare and EA show Chademo will be at that location.

That's the one but if you look at the photo it shows two kiosks with two cables each. All are marked CCS 150KW. Unless that small Kiosk on the right with a single cable is Chademo ( it looked like level 2 J1772) then there aren't any.WetEV wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:21 pmThis location?

I did actually walk the site this morning just out of curiosity. I didn't see any extra chargers laying around. There is a pad to the right of the power enclosure though. There are two conduit openings that are taped closed with pull tape sticking out in an indentation in the pad. Oddly. this pad is surrounded by barrier posts making it impossible to park in front of. You could park to the right of this pad (there are two parking spaces there). I guess this might be where a Chademo station could go. It could be that there's a problem obtaining a Chademo station at the moment. It seems odd that they would put a station in that you couldn't park in front of. Also the CCS stations are clearly marked for EV Charging Only and there are no similar markings on the other side. I do see what you mean about the cardboard box and it is located far enough away that I might have missed it since I was looking at the CCS stations and the power enclosure area. I'll check again tomorrow.GRA wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 2:25 pmThe small post is the L2. However, in the second photo (from July) on Plugshare, you can see through the gate of the power conditioning equipment enclosure on the right, and well behind it, what appears to be a tall cardboard box mounted on a concrete pad. That could be the CCS-CHAdeMO dispenser, covered by its box. Is the fence still up, or has it been removed and you are able to walk all around the site?

There's an equipment enclosure but it has 8' walls and a couple of solid doors so I can't see inside. I'd expect the transformer to be inside there. I did talk to an SDG&E guy who was there. SDG&E doesn't have keys or codes to get inside the enclosure yet so they can't finish up their work. I did find the CCS/Chademo station finally. It's 400 feet north and west of the enclosure next to the main building near the entrance to the garden shop. one EV only parking space next to the handicapped spaces. It's kind of obvious if you happen to look there. Just not where you would expect it to be.GRA wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 5:09 pmjohnlocke wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 6:44 pmI did actually walk the site this morning just out of curiosity.

The pad you describe sounds more like a transformer pad. Is there a transformer in place anywhere?
