I propose a petition requesting the Commander at Camp Pendleton to install Fast Chargers along the north bound and south bound I5, which would allow BEVs to practically travel round trip between the greater Los Angeles area and San Diego County.
Currently several hours of charging time are required both going and coming using L2 charges located at the north and south camp boarders and each area is under control of private utility companies (if not inside a Nissan dealership) who are bound to charge exorbitant rates when they finally get around to providing L3 chargers.
I believe that the Commander would be receptive to the proposal as this would support the Federal Government efforts to encourage the use of BEV’s already supported by the tax incentives. The military has been mandated to move toward energy independence and as a result are among the leaders of installation of renewable power sources with several projects underway and thus would be in tune with such a suggestion.
Moreover, I believe the rates for charging could be in the range of $0.10 per KWH in line with other government operated utilities such as BPA, which would also make the journey low costs.
Leaf groups in L.A. and San Diego could circulate the petitions at meetings/events or possibly just a signing event.
Suggested petition wording and mechanics of making this happen are welcome.
