L1 or J-1772 charging at the Vancouver Airport

[Araman0]

Hi all, this weekend we're making a trip from Seattle to the Vancouver airport where we are flying out for a week. We'd normally do the trip in our Model S, but our S might be in the shop. Our second car is a Ford Focus Electric with limited range and only L2 (J1772) max charging speed.

For the plan to work we'll need to park the car in a place that offers L1 or L2 charging while we take the trip from the Vancouver airport. Looking at PlugShare there's virtually no usable L1 airport parking available, and the L2 chargers around the airport lots are often full. Does anyone know of a parking service near Vancouver airport that will reliably have L1/L2 charging access, or would at least move the car to and from a charger once the charging is complete? Thanks for any tips!

I know this won't answer your question, but I'm curious.
What's the cost of getting a taxi/shuttle to the airport vs paying for long term parking?

from seattle ? bolt bus or airport shuttle are possible inexpensively, but very time consuming usually. Uber and such for 100 plus miles one way is absurd.
I'm curious too, about level 1 charging with long term parking there.

the Park and Fly (valet) located right at YVR apparently now has EV charging. I use the P&F from time to time but have never seen or used their EV chargers personally. you could give them a call to confirm:

edit: just noticed the P&F chargers are listed on Plugshare - includes 4 Tesla HPWCs
