Friday November 22, 2013 Today I met a San Francisco cop. We chatted while he finished charging his LEAF at the recently installed Quick Charger at the new Market Street Whole Foods in San Francisco. Bill lives a good 60 miles from San Francisco, so he needs to get some juice to make his trip home after work.

Coulomb Technologies unveiled San Francisco's first ChargePoint America charge stations yesterday in a Priority Parking lot along the Embarcadero. If you are a consumer, and you get a Volt, Smart, or Ford electric car, you probably qualify for a free home charge station. Obviously not.

All plug-in cars these days come with a 120-volt charge cord. This will actually be sufficient for many if not most Volt drivers, and quite a few LEAF drivers. An empty Volt pack will take 10 hours to fully recharge; an empty LEAF about 20 hours. They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. Cost of upgrade: under $300.

Thinking Globally, Acting Locally San Francisco City Carbon Collobarative 18th and 1. Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit.
