Coulomb, MasterCard, and the future of public charging

Plugs and Cars

The charge stations and installations were paid for with federal stimulus and California Energy Commission grants won by Coulomb. And if you're located in California, the California Energy Commission portion of the grant to Coulomb will pay for installation. As Richard Lowenthal said to me at the event: "Great deal!"

Downtown South San Francisco electrified

Plugs and Cars

The Coulomb J-plug/120V units were installed under grants to ChargePoint America (DOE and CEC money). Hoping the parking will contribute to the revitalization of Grand Avenue, SSF now offers a convenient spot to stop for a bit of juice just off 101.

Who knew?

Plugs and Cars

The units I found quite accidentally are Free Juice Bar dual-connector units. Free Juice Bar, as the name implies, dispenses electricity to cars without networks to join, credit cards to wave, or phone calls to release the precious, if not dear, electrons. Good for them. And one on Google's map. A side note about infrastructure.

The trials of public charging, part 2 (of many to come)

Plugs and Cars

Unfortunately there are still damn few J-plugs (the new standard for plug-in cars) publicly deployed, despite the expectations created by the federal grants to the EVProject (Ecotality) and ChargePoint America (Coulomb) and ex-Mayor Newsom here in San Francisco. Juice flows. The situation is similarly bleak in Southern California.

Keepin' it simple

Plugs and Cars

Plus installation. My installation was pretty simple, so it cost me nothing. As I write on July 13th I’ve recently been contacted by the contractor who installed the unit, but I’m still waiting for the service call. They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. Need it cost this much? Something about firmware, they said.

How does leasing an electric car work?

Drive Electric

It was only around 15 years ago that EVs could barely travel 50 miles before running out of juice. You need to organise fully comprehensive insurance separately, while you may wish to install a home charge point to top up your battery most cheaply and conveniently way possible. No depreciation worries. Other things to be aware of.

Mumbai - Kalaburagi - Mumbai : 1200 km trip in the MG ZS EV

Plug In India

Some housekeeping The 7kW slow charger hasn’t been installed in my society due to some complications that maybe covered in a separate post. I have been on exactly one ICE (dinasour juice* consuming Internal Combustion Engine vehicles) roadtrip prior to this. Gotta love the free and the fast juice at MG’s Fortum Chargers.
