UCI Medical center officially announced the availability of three new charging stations on Thursday.
The barbed wire is because Orange County Juvenile Detention is on the other side of the fence.

These are Coulomb 2021's which are some of the nicest commercial Level 2 stations out there. Two Level 2 (30A) ports each, 18' cords, and simple cord management.
They're charging $2.50/hr with a 4-hour limit, which matches UCI's policy at the school as well. Valid UC permit is required (visitor permits are available at Parking and Transportation). UC employees are supposed to get a discount if they get an access card from P&T, or if their existing ChargePoint ID is entered in the UC system. It would be interesting to test the system with a plain credit card vs a UC approved card to see if there really is a difference. I may do this some time.
From a hardware and site planning perspective, this is one of the nicest sites I've seen. 6 non-prime parking spots are served by 3 stations, the signage is very clear, and the stations themselves are really nice.
