Anyone else see some major issues with it?

(1) one-hundred ten (110) to be located in the LA Basin;
(2) fifty-five (55) to be located in the SF Bay Area;
(3) fifteen (15) in the San Joaquin Valley; and
(4) twenty (20) in San Diego County.
Given the requirement to build 15 in the San Joaquin Valley it seems they could choose to put them along 99 rather than along I-5, not just to facilitate inter-city driving but also to serve the cities of Bakersfield, Fresno, and Modesto. And given that they'd prefer to make money from the stations it seems that doing so would be to their benefit as well.drees said:I'd have to guess that for some crazy reason they may be installing stations along I5. I really hope not and are installing them along Route 99, as I5 would be the worst place to install stations for today's EVs that could use them.
I guess that makes some sort of sense. Looks like it also specifically states that no more than 2 DCQC or 2 L2 stations may be installed per location as well. And more than 1 L2 station can only be installed with "spare" funds. All sorts of weird stuff in there.walterbays said:The distribution of the initial 200 stations is specified in the settlement agreement http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres...C5A-B6BD398CCBF6/0/JointOfferofSettlement.pdfand is based on how much money Dynergy stole from utility customers in various regions, not on how many EV's are in each region.
Agreed. But FAR better than every other way. E.g., with the DOE's EV Project we got Blink with their low equipment quality, hopeless business plan, and lavish executive bonuses. So they went bankrupt and CarCharging bought them, and we can still hope but all I know for sure about them is that they spend millions on lavish executive bonuses and not a dime on repairing public charging stations. Other entrants seem to be pretty much stalled by the CPUC's ruling that utility demand charges apply to car quick charging. So eVgo for all its quirks is the only game in town.drees said:What a nut-ball way of increasing infrastructure
