$1500 for a level 1 charging station? that's f'd up. Install a few $9.99 outlets from Home Depot and call it good.

Yes, for example the Nissan LEAF needs >about 22 hours to fully recharge on 120 volts. But think about it: Does the >charging time matter if the car will be parked for three days while you're >on a trip? Airport parking is one of several scenarios where your car is >parked for many hours or even days at a time, and a slow charging rate is >acceptable because the long charging time has no real impact. > >Denver International Airport went with Level 1 because it wanted a better >approach to what customers were already doing. “We have seen an increase in >the number of customers who drive electric vehicles to the airport and plug >them into existing electrical outlets in the garages,” said Kim Day, Denver >manager of aviation. “These new charging stations are more convenient, safer >and designed to work specifically with electric and plug-in vehicles. The >airport continues to evolve to meet the needs of our customers and support >the city’s Greenprint Denver sustainability initiative.” > >In general, electric drivers want public charging to be as fast as possible. >Faster charging rates make it possible to treat an electric car a bit more >like a gas car. But longer charging times are not always inconvenient. For >example, most people spend eight or more hours at work, or 10 or more hours >at home, per day. In these cases, full speed Level 2 charging is more than >what's needed. Because a Level 1 charging port costs less to install than >level 2 charging, property owners can save money, and avoid other service >requirements. > >This is the market served by the L1 Power Post from Telefonix. The unit has >a price of $1,495, which is lower than most commercial-grade charging >stations, plus the installation is less. For more on this, see our previous >coverage on the L1 Power Post. > >Level 1 charging does not make sense is any location where the parking time >is relatively short, such as a shopping center, or along a highway. But >Level 1 has its applications there as well—for example, to refuel plug-in >hybrids with smaller battery packs. Signage encouraging plug-in hybrid >owners to use the L1 Power Posts could allow owners of pure electric cars, >requiring faster charging, to use Level 2 240-volt charging stations. > >The Denver Airport is Telefonix's first customer. Five charging stations >will be installed in each parking garage, located on the first level between >rows E and F.
