I probably should mention some official info on new DCFCs in Colorado. https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/zero-emission-vehicles/electric-vehicle-fast-charging-corridors
Dinosaur, Salida, Pagosa Springs, Fairplay, Vail, Durango, Montrose, Estes Park, Wheat Ridge, Conifer, Greeley, Craig, Granby, Steamboat Springs, Dacono, Rifle and Wellington


I have some information on l2 but I think that is not so interesting. A few of these like Durango and Dinosaur are opening up new sections of the state. Salida is nice but I also want to see one down around Alamosa to open up Great Sand Dunes area. Lake City is about to turn on and is listed in plugshare but not quite available yet I was told, maybe in the next week.

I should also mention a lot of these new chargers are rather expensive with per minute parking and kw charging even so I am grateful. We are talking 20 cents /kWh and 25 cents a minute. Not sure if this is because of high costs on the western slope or what. Some others like Delta public parking are not part of the state program are cheaper Delta is just 7 dollars an hour.

Eagle chambers park and ride is one of my favourites on this side up i70 it is 10 cents a kWh, so cheap.

It's because it's Blink. I haven't followed them lately but Car Charging group bought the carcass of BK Ecotality/Blink and then eventually renamed themselves to Blink a few years ago (https://www.blinkcharging.com/single-post/2017/08/29/CarCharging-Announces-Corporate-Rebranding-and-Reverse-Split). Original Blink since their beginning to bankruptcy ONLY had pricey level 2 J1772 and CHAdEMO. Looks like they went BK in Sept 2013: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ecotality-bankruptcy/ecotality-an-electric-car-charger-maker-files-for-bankruptcy-idUSBRE98G1E720130917.

At that point in time, the only vehicle in the US that could have optional SAE Combo was the Spark EV (see 2013 charts at https://insideevs.com/news/344007/monthly-plug-in-ev-sales-scorecard-historical-charts/). It didn't have SAE Combo available at the beginning. https://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/03/first-sae-combo-fast-charging-station-now-open-in-san-diego from Oct 2013 says that was to become available in Dec 2013. That sounds about right. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1087390_first-car-sold-with-ccs-fast-charging-now-delayed-to-december confirms.
(I found a pic of Tony Williams at https://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=335064#p335064 at the grand opening along with http://www.mychevysparkev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8071&sid=f06d973c568f0afb146ad56159357451#p8071.)

The next car in the US to have optional SAE Combo was the BMW i3.

Anyway, you will find some more CHAdeMO only at https://www.blinkcharging.com/blink-map but it's not that many If you click on the Layers button on the map then uncheck L2. It only lists 60 total chargers for me.

https://www.blinkcharging.com/products-services currently admits

DC Fast Chargers currently on Blink Network offer the CHAdeMO connector, but there are plans to incorporate other standards, such as the SAE combo and Tesla’s proprietary connector, in the future.

In the past, most of Blink's DC FCs were https://www.blinknetwork.com/pdf/Blink-DC-Fast-Charger.pdf.

Some were https://web.archive.org/web/20130719012652/http://www.nissanqc.com/, it seems. I used at least 1 or 2 of these Nissan slim units that weren't networked but IIRC belonged to Blink at the time.

One was at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Walgreens/@37.3293746,-121.9508172,3a,85.9y,276.93h,85.44t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8qPEq49O9zvGF_dKrVBA5Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x397227d19033b16d!8m2!3d37.329272!4d-121.9506756 but it seems to no longer be on Plugshare. Maybe it's gone/broken now?

Here's another that I used:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Walgreens/@37.3239827,-121.9131299,3a,25y,317.01h,86.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sm8508fXENQ4T0n5hgEFIcg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0xd21498d135f537df!2sWalgreens!8m2!3d37.3237775!4d-121.913375!3m4!1s0x0:0xd21498d135f537df!8m2!3d37.3237775!4d-121.913375 - Ditto for no more Plugshare location, it seems.

3rd one: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Blink+Charging+Station/@37.3434806,-121.8741191,3a,15y,230.43h,85.21t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sVVk2t2_K9uWeQQ-s-g-xvA!2e0!5s20190401T000000!7i16384!8i8192!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x808fcd10492ae783:0xfd5185f13ddf5fa8!2sWalgreens!8m2!3d37.3433579!4d-121.8750646!3m4!1s0x808fccc1e706db9b:0x9dfe8284b3f76758!8m2!3d37.3434052!4d-121.8746102 - this is in a sketchy part of town. In the latest street view pics, it's covered by some cloth. Also, no more Plugshare link.

I recall adding photos to at least 1 or 2 of those Plugshare locations.

That Colorado one I was not expecting thank you. I was in a virtual meeting last night the Will Toor the colorado energy director was telling us Dinosaur should be online this week.

Another interesting thing is the mountain states agreement he told us. I was like really Wyoming? He sent me this. https://www.naseo.org/issues/transportation/rev-west Seems Wyoming will build fast chargers along interstate routes he tells me.

We keep an eye out on what new facilities go in around the coachella valley as we have a winter home there. I found this entry in Rancho mirage. It shows 2 x Chademo and one CCS. Could be an error. Won’t be able to check it out this fall as it looks like the US Canada border will be kept closed for the foreseeable future. I find it unusual in that there are 2 Chademos and 1 CCS.

LaGrangeville NY is not yet open to the public. A few people showed up and charged during the initial testing phase. No one was working on it at the time, and there was nothing saying they couldn't. Hopefully the ribbon cutting happens within a couple of weeks.

This one is interesting, it’s a BP install. Hopefully Bp, like in Europe will start putting chargers everywhere. Double Chademo

Dinosaur did come online and so did a new Chargepoint in Salida. Used Salida twice right after it opened very helpful particularly with the pricing at Buena Vista.

The first EVolve NY charger is online in LaGrangeville NY, just off the Taconic State Parkway. It is in a free "trial" period where they are asking for feedback from users. They expect hiccups, and hope that they are all reported to the EVolve NY team.

This Chademo my mothers is one of those loved by as many teslas as Leafs.

So many free Chademo locations still out there.

Lots of chargers going up in Ohio and Michigan, but for us Illinoians, here is the first non-EA I have seen in a while:

Pontiac, IL 61764, United States

4 Chademos!!!

And Tesla adapters available.

Without pictures, it's hard to know. Sometimes, it's just a mistake.

I've seen people (in the US) who don't know what they're doing list their own home EVSE and select plugs that they almost certainly don't have (e.g. CHAdeMO or SAE Combo or some European plug).

7 or 8 new Chargepoint double and triple Chademos listed now in Michigan state.
