I noticed a new charger pop up on the ChargePoint map in Sacramento (Wallgreens at Howe and Arden). My wife and I went out Friday night and charged there for almost two hours while we ate at Chili's and then did some shopping in the Wallgreen's.
I wrote a thank-you email to [email protected] saying that it was the perfect location for me and many other folks in the area since it was within short walking distance to many fast food joints, restaurants and a Starbucks. I also mentioned that we spent around $40 at Wallgreens on miscellaneous groceries and cold medicine which was significant in my mind because it was the first time either of us had been to a Wallgreens in about five years.
From this email I got two replies, one from the bay area infrastructure directory for 350Green and one from the CEO saying how nice it was to hear feedback from a EV driver. They also mentioned that there are a total of seven (!!!) locations that they are planning on bring up by the end of the week in the area. Overall goal seemed to be ending up with 150 chargers including 25 fast chargers in northern California, two of which are planned for Sacramento area.
Besides the charger at Howe and Arden two new Walgreens chargers popped in Folsom today, one at Glenn and Riley, and one at East Bidwell and Clarksville. The bay area director also mentioned a charger being installed at the Folsom Outlets. I work in Folsom so this is especially good news for me.
I charged up at the location at Glenn and Riley in Folsom at lunch today. Cement still hadn't dried.
Seems like they were very happy to hear some feedback and I am very happy to see chargers rolling in to the area.
