[Oeva-list] Lincoln City Article

[Graunke, Gary]

The Lincoln City charging also made the Oregonian (it was in the local paper last week). The picture is Joanne Daschel's minivan.

We're always glad to find new charging stations. I need to find out how to get the PGE list on my iPhone (it vectors me to a mobile version of their website instead of the real thing).

Since it is now 10 years old (7 years as an EV), I decided to take my car into Hawthorne Auto Clinic to have the brakes and other things checked. They were fine! (But the tires needed rotating). I haven't had any service in the last 7 years.

While I was there, I found the two charging stations at the Hawthorne Fred Meyer-they are on the roof parking area. The breakers were off, and I doubt that they have been used. I may go up there later just to make sure they are working.....

Maybe we should have the best EV charging map program (that actually works from an iPhone or similar web browsing phone) on our own website.

Hmmmm... I just had a thought.

If someone were to knock on your door, and tell you that their EV needed about 1kwh of juice to get home, would anyone turn them away? Or would you hand them the female end of your extension cord?

Perhaps I'm just thinking too far into the future where I imagine every parking spot in every town will have a charge station.

I'd like a cheap little cheesy unit in front of my house at the curb that someone can pop a quarter into, such that they don't interrupt my dinner. Those chargepoint stations are ok I guess for now, but when you're talking 300 million or more of them, you're looking at over a trillion dollars. Perhaps Coulomb should develop a VolksCharger model for the non-municipality funded geeks like me.

Or, it could be, that I'm simply insane.

These are the headlines I'd rather see:
