Calling All Members!

Hi Folks,

we're putting together an "opportunity Charging" map.Whoever is willing to add their address and what voltage is available, from their home, library, mall, restaurant etc.  This would include known charging stations. This would be very appreciated! Feel free to post here or email me at blast321off@yahoo.com

Thanks, Ken Simmermon

Ken - there are lots of websites and apps available that show this.  Many of these sources would have overlapping charging stations.  To name a few - Coulomb (mychargepoint.net), PlugShare app, Charge locator app, the DOE website, EV charger news, etc.

For PlugShare, you can enter your house if you offer it as a charging point, even if it is only Level I.  I'm registered for Level I and Level II charging on this.  They also have a website (PlugShare.com).

By the way, does anyone have a 'reverse' adaptor for J1772?  That is, you have a Nissan Leaf, but the charging station is a 220V AC 50 amp RV outlet, found at RV parks.  How can a Leaf owner take advantage of this to charge up the car?

Thanks Todd, Good Info!

I was just calling out to the members to start our own opportunity charging map.
