These are electric cars. Everything from a Nissan Leaf to a Tesla. They are here to celebrate the first and only quick electric car charging station between Sacramento and San Francisco. The location is on Davis at Bella Vista Rd along the I-80 corridor. Easy and best of all free. Free to drivers and free to the city, as solar panels collect energy and pump it into the charger. [© 2013 Tribune Broadcasting Company] - [IMO - Looking at http://www.recargo.com/sites/1138 Bella Vista Road Park & Ride 782 Davis St Vacaville, CA 95687 The L3 is an Eaton Level-3 (l3) EVSE. Several old spi EVSE have been replaced with new l2 j1772 EVSE. Though recargo does not list it, there is a level-1 outlet because the site still has a street urchin mooching off the level-1 outlet. Unlike Chargepoint and Blink, Eaton does not have a charger map showing where all their EVSE are installed. Looking at the other EV Charging finder app/sites http://carstations.com/1539 it a bit out of date. The recargo listing has a check-in comment on the day of the EVent. Looking at http://www.plugshare.com/ The description has the comments that Tesla EVSE were replaced(?). The last comment is out of date. Looking at http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html For a U.S. Government site that is suppose to have all EVSE listed, it has this site listed three times, two with l2 and one with a l1 inductive(?) What does all the above tell me? -recargo while up to date, is getting lax in their site maintenance (you had to be there when they were hot!, now not so much). -Carstations is a little behind the curve compared to recargo. -Plugshare is even more out of date. -And the Fed Gov site as usual is clueless (= an unrealible info source). My conclusions: it takes the first three EV Charging EVSE sources to try to get a picture of what is out there. If only all three (recargo, carstations, and plugshare) were combined into one easy to use app/site the money and efforts would be better spent, and drivers would have a more accurate place for one stop EVSE hunting. ] {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-EVSE-overcrowing-replaces-range-angst-tp4661763p4661785.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
