Just another example of CA leading the US!! Good news indeed.
So why did Toyota recently announce that they were leaving Ca and moving to TX!!!???
Money rules?
Goodness goes down in defeat.
(Not that I was ever going to buy a Prius, but after this corporate move, not even a chance.)

+1. I'm also happy to see multiple QC units in a single location (Irvine Spectrum Marriott). This will significantly improve reliability and availability.JeremyW said:Excited to hear about a QC in Pasadena!!
+1! Good stuff Angus - have you thought of installing a 2nd station in San Juan Capistrano? Two QCs will let you move a lot more vehicles through that location than two separate single stations without people having to wait.abasile said:+1.

$0.15/minute - that's only $9/hr - great price, much better than eVgo a-la-carte rates and the nearby $5/session QC rates at Quail Hill and Woodbury, which are only 20kW stations.
The I5/405 interchange will be well covered in QCs!

Will these units be SAE as well or just CHAdeMO?

I can fill up my car for the price of one gallon of gas? You're going to go broke, sir! This is wonderful.
We've been hanging out at the Irvine Spectrum and wondering why no one thought to put charge stations there. Now, we'll have more choices. With all the infrastructure coming on line, I can think about actually using my LEAF for Orange County trips. And we have choices. Drive 70 MPH, fill up at SJC. Caught in traffic? Range goes up, skip SJC, and stop at the next one instead!

What makes you think they're paying the electric bill?

Convenient pricing (per minute) and flexible paying (credit card).
Well done indeed.
With one QC station 5 miles north of my house, and another 9 miles south,
and charging by the minute rather than the session, I can now cut it a bit
closer coming home, and use a short quick charge to make it home, thanks.
Charging by the session can be expensive, especially if the LEAF requires two
sessions to get filled up. (The 2014 LEAF can fill in one session, I believe.)
Also, charging by the session will be a real bargain if one has an 80 kWh Tesla.

I was thinking more along the lines of paying $100,000 for a DCFC installation, and then earning it back at $0.15 per minute. Even at 100% profit, and round the clock use, well, let's just say, we are not looking at the actual business plancoolfilmaker said:

Are we there yet? I don't want any "surprises" if I pay a visit this week.

Some reconnaissance done on 4 July will serve as an answer:
The hotel appears to be in a "real soon now" state. The chargers are in, but not powered. All dressed up, and nowhere to go.
As far as charger location, this is along the front of the hotel, which faces Irvine Center Drive.

Hello Forum Members in SD/OC/LA and beyond. The 2 DC Quick Chargers are live at Courtyard Irvine Spectrum.
These have been enabled with the ChargePoint Network and the site address is:
7955 Irvine Center Drive
Irvine CA 92618
This Courtyard has a great lobby cafe with Starbucks, food and snacks and other libations.
Exit Alton Parkway from I-5 and go west to Irvine Center Drive (1st Right). Hotel entrance is on left with chargers located near front entrance on east side of forecourt.
Hope this makes the Corridor stops a bit more refreshing.
Cheers,
Angus
Note: Pricing is 15 Cents/Minute, All-Hours and no parking fee is in effect on the 4 designated EV spaces.

Is the cost still $0.15/minute? Plugshare currently notes something about $5/hr / $15/day parking or is that just for general parking?

I saw nothing about parking rates when I charged there briefly about a week ago.
These 4 charging spots (two QC units) are just to the right of the front entrance.

Excellent location. Great price! Thanks EVOASIS!
FYI for LEAF'ers: turn off car and plug in first, before swiping and activating the QC. I *think* the timer starts right away when the charger is activated. Being a non-frequent QC user (only because there's not a lot out there), it took me 5 min to figure out I had to turn off the car for the charger to start charging.
