I took a look at their site and while it does have a bunch of information for how to apply for grants, I didn't find any reports of approved or funded sites. If you have any info about how to locate specific funded sites, I would welcome it.

I have marked the Recargo 15-601 sites with an X icon and put a note in the description. I have also noted that several more ChargePoint sites are open, including Dunnigan, Placerville, and Colfax. At least they are according to the ChargePoint app. The Colfax site is not on Plugshare yet. I am...

I have been updating the map linked in the first post. You will now find that some of the pins have a plug icon, which indicates that the location is open. The two sites mentioned by @paulgipe above are useful, but not CEC funded sites.

There is now a 8 stall DCFC site online in Mountain View, California. The site uses the ChargePoint Express 200 DCFC units that can output 125 amps to either its CHAdeMO connector or its CCS connector. This is the largest industry standard (ie. non-SuperCharger) fast charge site I know of in the...

I have updated the map. The California Energy Commission staff released a new Localized Health Impacts Report Addendum to the GFO-15-601 North-South Corridors grant. ChargePoint moved eight of their sites, mostly within a few hundred yards of the originally proposed sites. The only exception is...

When you have multiple cells in parallel they act as one huge cell because all the minus (-) terminals are tied together and all the plus (+) terminals are tied together. If one cell in that group is not pulling its weight, it simply drags down the group. If the BMS indicated that one group in...

I have been following the CEC grants for Corridor Fast Charging infrastructure. In their normal grant processing, they issue reports called Localized Health Impact Reports. These reports reveal the expected sites for DCFC installation under these grants. Here are the two interesting reports...

I purchased (not leased) the RAV4 EV nearly 2 years ago and it now gets the majority of our driving. Basically, anytime the family goes anywhere together, we take that car. There has only been one instance that I have NOT taken the RAV somewhere because of range. That was for a family...

I went to Sunnyvale VW today. They have this advertisement on their web site. This is basically the corporate offer of $229/mo lease but with an additional dealer discount of about $2,500. They allegedly have about 20 e-Golfs. Cars.com says Capitol VW has 30 e-Golfs. We are thinking about...

I completed building a house on an empty lot in PG&E territory in 2012. There was an existing pole on the corner of the property. I had to pay for the trenching, conduit and the conductors from the meter to the top of the pole. That is all. I requested and received 400A service. They...

OMG! You are right. I was flipping through the new rate tariff and must have been on the wrong page when I was entering the rates in my spreadsheet. I won't do that any more. If you go to the PGE.com web site, they have all the historical rates in XLS, so I will be cutting and pasting to...

I just reviewed the January PG&E rate increase and I must say PG&E is really trying to screw EV owners that have elected to stay on Schedule E-9. This is the "Experimental" rate schedule that was developed to encourage customers to charge their Electric Vehicles Off Peak. This rate plan has been...

I have done this in spreadsheet form with CSV data from the Green Button. It lines up very closely to PG&E's actual bills. PGE Electric Rate Calculator_V1.7.xlsx

Do you have any plan for how to maintain the cells that are not in use? If you can continue to find these used packs for sale so cheap, you could package them in a rack as you have already done and sell it to others for a worthwhile profit. It could even make a good side business.

Please, at least put a bushing in the hole at the bottom of your panel enclosure so the sheetmetal edge cannot rub through the insulation of your wires.
