Nogajim, Since I work on the Carstations iPhone app I can speak to that. We do moderate the adds (and updates) since we get a lot of incomplete, duplicate, or sometimes spammy data. However, we try to do it as fast as we can. Usually a few hours or less. Also the Android app is getting an...

I looked into doing my own app like GreenCharge once I read about the API. However, I read the terms of service for Carwings are realized any user that gives their login information to a third party or uses the website access via custom software is in violation of the terms of service and could...

I am the author of the Carstations iPhone app and the EV Charger Finder app. I wanted to chime in a little. EV Charger Finder was created based on the EV Charger Maps website from Tom Dowling. That database is no longer being expanded though is still very useful for locations for the last gen...

Looks like Stefano in the Mono-tracer hit both also. He was in Santa Monica this morning. Good times. Will upload some photos as well soon. Shocking how quiet it was rolling down Main street. The loudest thing I kept hear were people talking along the streets, the occasional bike chain...

I forgot to add the other sucky thing. He had heard Costco had chargers so was going to go there. I told him it wasn't compatible (if even there) and said he should check the charge map. I hit the map and it didn't work. Said no data, so I assume the nav SD card was not in the rental. So no...

So lucky thing we were out washing our Leaf in the driveway today. Down the street neighbor cruises by in a shiny new blue Leaf. Ask how he likes it and he says it is a rental from Enterprise and he says he can't get it charged. We ask what happens and he says he plugs in an lights blink but...

I believe it is a problem with the Bluetooth connection. It is a timing thing. If you plug in your phone before the car "detects the IP of the phone" the audio will not work and you have to unplug/plug. But if you wait till after the IP message it is fine. I believe also turning off...

From what I can tell, when you place a point, it will try and resolve it to an address, particularly if you type it in the search, but if you just place a point (or have it added by charging at a location) it may not have any details like address. That stored format is pretty dodge and hard to...

I just got back. I arrived right at 10am. The chargers at the Civic center were full but SMP only had one Leaf there + me. As I was leaving another was pulling in. So as of 11am there were still 2 places. All listed in use now. So get there early... Civic center is $9 flat rate parking...

Thought I would chime in on this since I was involved. EVChargerMaps is run by Tom Dowling. I created an iPhone version of this several years ago and have continued to support it. It is quite good on the older charger types particularly in CA. It has a big user community of the SPI/AVCon...

I saw that one also when testing the latest iPhone app version of Carstations. It is right on my "commute" though I would never need public charging on that run since it is so close to home base. It is from Bink and one thing I don't like about Bink sites is they don't detail if they are free...

Signed and approved as written. Sadly, the governor didn't listen to all the current EV driver concerns. So we have that to look forward to, assuming any charge stations get built with the signage as required by this law.

Yes, they are Clipper Creek units. No id required. I used them several days during the E3 trade show and they were never blocked. But my leaf and another did take them up during the show.

They are in the main West hall parking lot right under convention center. Enter LA Live Way. You go forward from the pay kiosk and they are on the right with good signage. You still have to pay the parking fee. Two clipper creek J1772. You have to kind of know where they are because none of...

You can make a Spark for Nissan Leaf. But as far as I can tell, the Sparks are really just like google saved search that sends you a RSS-like list of stories. I would rather have a way of easily seeing all discussions on the Leaf that people make public in their streams like Twitter search. I...

I dug into this pretty deeply and it was on a thread a long time ago. Short answer it can be done but it is painful and due to how they encode the actual lat/lon location, it is not terribly accurate. I pushed Navteq to get the encoding format but was rejected. They say they do not plan any...

Charged 4 hours while we went to watch the Tour of CA. Very convenient with lots of restaurants nearby. Talked at length to internet sales manager. She said they have sold 11 Leafs so far and are expecting a lot more soon. Said 600 were just cleared to Long Beach and are being delivered to...

If you want to see what they have in the Nissan database, go to the "Plan Your Route" thing on Carwings. Then you can scroll around the country and see where they have added locations. Near you in Vacaville, they don't list much. Harvey's Car Wash in Sacramento, Nissan Elk Grove, Napa Nissan...

There are a lot of L3 charge points in the UK. Of course they already have 240v everywhere and their occasional use adapter is our L2 pretty much. So they are ahead of the game from the start. As far as I know, the only confirmed ones in US are as stated, Portland World trading center and...

My mistake. I got a "service coming up" email that said 3,750 miles or such. I misremembered that was the first tire rotation for some reason. Getting old. Looked in service manual and it says 7500. So must just be standard car service center drum up biz bulk email. But 6 mon or 7500 miles...
