That's like four levels of intelligence above what our Costco could manage. I have been told that these EVSE issues are intentionally left up to the regional managers. We're paying for their much higher than industry average wages and they have the gaul to be lazy idiots.
No. It's $55-110/ year for a Costco membership. Plus, GM has ten other J1772 EVSEs half a mile away so there is absolutely no reason to restrict it to only people who have to charge.
Our Costco installed some cheap locks on the handle so they can prevent them from being used at night. Very tacky. They should have just towed the people who leave their cars there overnight.
Yep.
Personally, I'd install an 80 amp EVSE if you have the room on your circuit. Never know when you'll have a friend come over in a Model S or when you'll want to upgrade.
There are now 20 new "solar powered" stations free until June 2015 in the Anteater Parking Structure. The Blink and Chargepoint in the Research Park were also replaced by three GEs about a year ago.
