Ok LA, San Berdu, OC, & San Dego county people - did I get your attention?
Do you recognize the Leaf's display below, showing the QC Icon off Irwindale AV and the 210 Freeway? No?
That's where I charged today - Southern California Edison. They have LOTS of chargers.
Seems SCE (notorious for killing quick charging via outrageous - 6 figure 'demand fees') has been holding out on us. They've got one of their own AV units - a big ol' 50kW outdoor model. It's the 1st time I used an AV QC. So, it's GOOD to be a utility company - cuz you don't have to charge demand fees to your self.
Long story short - they are NOT gonna let you use it, unless you got down there today before 4PM. They're testing it, and needed volunteers so that SCE could verify what kind of pull they can expect from a QC unit (sometimes) pulling 100+ amps. Hmmmmm - now, why do you think SCE wants/needs that kind of data logging. Call me the eternal optimist.
Sorry for not being able to give earlier notice - but I literally didn't find out until I headed up there - starting from orange county around 12pm ... texting a post while driving didn't seem to be the wise thing to do - and once I was hooked up, the researcher guy (Richard) had info he wanted from me pertaining to our Leaf.
