They had only 2 EV charge points for the last couple of years which were never usable because you could never get hold of anyone at the council to get whatever authority was required to use them. I spent half an hour on the phone to the new chap on Thursday who sounded at least interested in the EV thing if not vaguely knowledgable on the subject. A huge improvement. In the last 2 months, another 5 charge points have appeared across the borough which are dual 'Mennekes' (IEC 62196-2, 32A, 240VAC) and UK 13A socket EVSEs. They are opened using an RFID card from SourceLondon, the TFL run EV charging organisation which currently links with SourceEast cards/chargers allowing members of both schemes to use each others chargers. I expect given time all the UK schemes will tie up. I have been updating the ReCargo web site with their details. It does appear that things are starting to come together at last. I can't see how anyone can doubt the UK g-ments stated intention to adopt an EV-based transport system in the medium to long term anymore, nor ignore the fact that the EV wave is gathering momentum.

I find them interesting, but I do not post them anymore as few evdl readers cared for them. I had been working with evdl and North SF Bay EAA Chapter member Chuck Hursch, when I found newswires about new public EVSE in the north bay. I had let him know of a newswire of new EVSE going in near him in Larkspur, CA. But it has been a lot of PR/talk and no-action. I did not see Novato's EVSE listed on Chargepoint site https://na.chargepoint.com/index.php/charge_point I hope the Novato City Council does not play games like Larkspur's did and actually install the EVSE. I recently sent him a piece on the Sausalito Molly Stone http://www.marinscope.com/sausalito_marin_scope/news/article_38afd33c-7635-11e2-8cb0-0019bb2963f4.html http://sanbruno.patch.com/articles/mollie-stone-s-to-unveil-electric-car-charging-stations Note see the type of Coulomb EVSE installed http://hss-prod.hss.aol.com/hss/storage/patch/4f06294e90da84c66213bab9e88a62db That tall EVSE tower has two j1772 couplers, and the cables come from the top, which is less of a pedestrian tripping hazard. Looking at the Chargepoint site for that EVSE shows: MOLLIE STONES / SAUSALITO 100 Harbor Dr, Sausalito, California 94965, United States Notes: - Port 1: (208/240V, 30A, J1772) Available Port 2: (208/240V, 30A, J1772) Available Reservations Disabled $5.00 per hour thereafter The above newswire says the first hour is free. But $5/hr afterward, ... ( yike$ ! ). But that does not matter, after an hour of shopping at Molly Stone, just go south a short distance to charge for free: BERG HOLDINGS / MARINSHIP WAY 2330 Marinship Way, Sausalito, California 94965, United States Notes: Located at main entrance parking lot Port 1: (120V, 16A, NEMA 5-20R) Available Port 2: (208/240V, 30A, J1772) Available Reservations Disabled Station Price: Free -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
