exbauer said:I used the charger in the Walgreens parking lot in San Diego. I went in and bought a couple things and asked the manager if I could charge while I did some shopping in the area. He was really nice and said it is nice to see somebody using it. There are several stores like Sprouts, TJ Maxx, Home Goods and other stores close by.

I've used it just twice but my impression is: Yes you can go to 100%. But going from 20% to 80% will take 30 minutes, and 80% to 100% will be another 30 minutes - not much faster than L2 - and your cost will double. Depending on your travel plans you might do better to charge there to 80% and finish the charge on L2 in the direction you're traveling at a location where you can eat or shop.scr71 said:Will the EVOasis in SJC allow me to bring the battery up to 100% (12 bars)?
How long will that take if I get there w/ ~2 bars?
It would sure be nice to have enough QC stations that if one were broken there would be an alternate. But given their track record I'd expect EVoasis to open their next station at Newport Beach, Laguna Niguel, Carlsbad, or Encinitas before Ecotality opened a station.Any word on Ecotality's plan to put one just north or south of Camp Pendleton?

One of the Qualcomm buildings?Randy said:Made a visit today to check on the progress of the 3rd San Diego Blink DC FC station. Just for fun, can you guess where it might be?
This DCFC doesn't show up on the EV Project map. Do you happen to know where it's located?Randy said:Escondido is the #2 site.
It's not SDSU, it's UCSD, which is near I-5 and Escondido is good placement for traveling up I-15. That said, I'd use the UCSD one more often than I would one in Oceanside, just because I'm in that area more often. I can think of at least two times I spent twiddling my thumbs at L2s not far from there, (and once on L1 :roll because I needed it to get home.scr71 said:I don't have a problem w/ SDSU & Escondido getting L3 chargers, but doesn't it seem the clear priority should be the busiest long-distance corridor (I-5 b/w SD & OC)??...
