Plugs and Cars

MARCH 3, 2011

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.

They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. Something Ecotality couldn’t do even with $100 million in federal grant money. (For this to work in place of a wall-mounted unit, you still need a dedicated 240V 30 amp circuit and outlet, which would cost a few hundred dollars of an electrician’s time and perhaps $50 in parts.)

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. The total costs were very low, granted because of free charging at Fortum. The car that I am taking on this trip is 2022 MG ZS EV.

That makes it a fascinating new thing that grants it much leeway with its distinct but not fatal flaws: a hyperfocus on touchscreen functions, moderately fast charging, and an occasionally brittle ride. In the single-motor Polestar 4, it’s not exactly juiced, with 272 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. With that roofline? How do I know?

Bill lives a good 60 miles from San Francisco, so he needs to get some juice to make his trip home after work. Instead, with workplace infrastructure pushed toward the expensive, grant-driven Level 2, to the extent we succeed in inducing higher EV ownership we create new problems to solve at the workplace.
