Situations like this are where having 30A L2 capability can really make a big difference. The other option would be to backtrack 6-7 miles to the eVgo QC/L2 (which JeremyW and I successfully used both the QC and L2). But that would add 20-30 minutes of driving, but leave you with enough charge to make it to San Diego County at the next eVgo station in Carlsbad. If your goal is to get to the eVgo station in Carlsbad (which it appears that the other ICEd driver went) and you have 30A L2, then charging for an hour at the dealer was probably the best option. Otherwise with only 16A L2, back-tracking would probably save you 90 minutes (assuming the QC there works).Feng said:Looks like the driver had to use the L2 at the Nissan dealer nearby as a backup. Hopefully they didn't have to wait hours to get to the next QC 34 miles away.drees said:ICEd at San Juan Capistrano today. Luckily I had just enough charge to make it home by hypermiling. Looking at the plugshare comments at least one other driver was not so fortunate.
Only the blue curb. Needs more paint/signage/cones or something.Feng said:Playing the devil's advocate: Looking at the photos on Plugshare, I can't see any signage saying those spots are for EV charging only.
Well in the most recent case I posted above, you'd need a CHAdeMO extender. Even more expensive. Better to just use a longer cord, but that can't be cheaper, either, and only further invites copper thieves.LeftieBiker said:It's a shame the J-1772 extenders are so expensive. Carrying one of those would solve 90% of the ICEing problems.

Berlino said:Possible, though the stations have been there for 3-4 months with no problems that I'm aware of. Here is another ICEing at the same site.

That person parks as improperly as the couple I have seen illegally parked in hashed no parking area next to handicapped parking spaces.MikeinDenver said:... I am a motorcycle rider and that is just offensive.
