Davenport will have an 80A haL2! We are close enough to make it happen. Latest slow down was the AVISTA program which promised the city two L2 40A chargers if the city paid to install them; contractor estimate? Over $11,000! So, Plug-In North Central Washington will supply a ClipperCreek...

Eight cars, Two motorcycles, one pedal assist bicycle and one Li powered Polaris Ranger EV. We talked to about 300 people and gave about 35 rides/drives including two motorcycle rides! Pretty good time. Thanks to the out of town drivers who participated.

Sorry to be so tardy in response; The Amazon Smile program provides Plug-In North Central Washington with about $35 a month. This program has a huge potential, the barrier is getting Amazon customers to actually select and use the Smile portal. We put a line or two about this program in one...

We totally recommend the CHAdeMO because when you depart the west coast of Washington you will want to have access to L3 charging that in most areas is only supplied via CHAdeMO. In fact, AVISTA Utilities has announced that they will place between 5 and 7 CHAdeMO and CCS L3 chargers in eastern...

No, these units are free but you really should consider making a donation to the Host so they can keep the unit up to date and even replace it when it stops working. A donation of $5 is very helpful...

We drove from Washington State to Hershey, PA then back to Idaho for a total of 4,800 miles. All but overnight charging was done at SC. We stopped very 2 ~ 2.5 hours and at the end of the trip I felt as rested and "ready to go" as I did at the start. I think there is a real physical, human...

We drive this route both ways. Latest was Saturday 19 December. Because we have the CHAdeMO adapter and an Aerovironment subscription we usually charge for a few minutes at the Snoqualmie summit. We live 30 miles north of Wenatchee so the extra RMs are a safety. We have found the NAV system...

I use both of these on a frequent basis. All the Aerovironment EV-50 L3 units seem to charge at about 145 - 155 miles of range per hour. This is always dependent on how near to full SOC your battery is when you connect. I have found these to be very reliable units, unfortunately the units...

Newhalem Update It has been a long process but according to our source at the SCL Newhalem site the Eaton chargers are physically installed. The hold up is installation of a new transformer. The expected opening date is before the 4th of July. Sounds like a great reason to visit Newhalem...
