charging stations

I am a new volt owner. I am going to be traveling a little and was looking for charging stations in cities that I would be in. I am very confused by some of the costs of charing stations. If you are a member of the blink network and pay $0.40/kWh, you would be spending 18.4 * 0.4 = $7.36 to go...

Just saw this article: http://www.680news.com/2016/04/28/ontario-budgets-20-million-for-500-electric-vehicle-charging-stations-in-2017/ How do liberals manage to waste so much money and generate completely opposite reaction from the public? $20 million dollars to install 500 stations. It's...

I just got the Volt about a week ago and loving it. My long roundtrip commute requires charging the VOLT twice because I need 80 miles+. I'm waiting for my charging unit at home (Bosch vs. clippercreek) because 12 hours of charge only gives me about 31 miles. My biggest gripe is that my...

http://www.pluginnow.com/charging_stations I have had my 2015 Volt for a month now and am realizing more and more how much easier it would be if I had a quick charging option at home. That being said, there are alot of options and they all seem to be very different in price. I need one that can...

It's about time. I received an email describing the changes a few minutes ago.

Hi all, Up until now there is only one hotel in all of downtown Richmond, VA that has a single charging station. I've been working closely with the Crowne Plaza in Richmond trying to get them to install 2 more stations. The head of maintenance there is all for it. He is working to sell the idea...

I've found a total of 6 SemaCharge stations in Reston, VA. They are not listed on SemaCharge and by that, not on PlugShare. Two of them are located at 12001 Sunrise Valley Dr. Another 4 are located in Plaza America Dr in parking garages (not paid parking). They seem to turn these off at...

Will we ever see coin operated public charging stations? :confused: The current business model used by companies like Chargepoint is not beneficial to their customers. You get a company like Chargepoint to install a charging station and you pay a one-time installation cost between $5,000 and...

Do any of you know if the 2013/2014 Volts with NAV have "Charging Stations" listed as a point of interest? :confused:

At the DC sociability run I met a representative from eVgo and had a nice discussion with him about the new charging stations they are rolling out in the DC area. They already have a number of stations in Texas. However, that is a bit out of my range :). There is one they put into Trader...

I'm not quite sure what to make of this one: http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/12/16/tesla-solar-powered-charging-stations/ Well, if it's on the internet it has to be true, right? Anyhow, aren't there adapter things to address "the proprietory<sic> electrical plug" issue? --RCB

I work in Portland Oregon and my company just moved to Chargepoint chargers. Charging costs $1.20 per hour. It is a 240V level 2 charger. How much do charging stations cost in your area? mike witteman Witteblog -- Thoughts on the coming wave of electric cars

Wow ... I'm really impressed about the leadership that Quebec is taking about charging stations!! Take a look at the 5 commercials ... each use a different EV using the charging stations ... Of course, there is one with the VOLT !!! :cool: http://roulezelectrique.com/?p=587

I've found I can upload pre-packaged Points of Interest (POIs) into my TomTom and Garmin GPS units. Is there a way to download, then upload charging station locations into the factory navigation system? I know there are some good apps for the phone and sending charging locations through the...

I have had my Volt #1569 for about 2 months now. I'm am the first Volt sold in the state of Minnesota, and as such there is a very limited charging network established in the Twin Cities. I have been working with a few "green city advisors" and business to get more and more chargers installed...

Hello Fellow Voltec Coloradans. I decided to drive to Dallas Tx to get a Red and loaded 2011 Volt :-) I snapped this pic on the way back (crossing from Kansas) and figured it was a good Thread kickoff pic. Curious who else has a Volt or has one on order? I seen posts from gieso up in...

The city called today to tell me that my application for electric vehicle parking was ready and I can pick up the card. Sacramento city operated parking garages are free to registered EVs. You have to complete an application and provide a copy of registration. The card must be renewed annually...

The PlugShare iPhone app serves two main functions: It allows users to browse a comprehensive list of nearby public charging stations, and it lets users share their own electric outlets and search for charge spots located inside or outside other people's garages. Developed by a Tesla engineer...
