Hounded my friends in Revelstoke to take some pictures, behold!
Great to see, since I will be there starting Wednesday (staying at the Best Western, conveniently! :smile Boy they better get that shelter finished for the equipment, before it gets buried under a metre of snow!

Hi all, I grew up just 5 miles out of town (Lytton) on the Highway 12, along the Fraser towards Lillooet, and while I live in Ontario today, I am working on a nudge to my brother on the farm to get him to add some form of shared/private/public charger at our farm! I was thinking of what would be the best in terms of cost, as well as use - maybe a 40 Amp unit?
It has a great View, so I wonder - what the interest might be for such a location - just 5 miles from the nearest SCH CS60 in town? Google Map Mixed image shown:
This view is about 1,000 Feet Higher than the main street in Lytton, and is a few hundred yards from the highest point on the highway for miles in both directions! the Farm is on Bench Land - Medium Desert Country, and the building shown was my Dad's Body Shop, and where I did some work on assembling an RV-3 Homebuilt kit.
This is a good thought. I would offer, however, that being so close to an existing SCH station, the main benefit of a charge station at your brother's place would be if it were significantly faster than the one in town. This is especially true, since one would have to "pay" (and plan) for the penalty of climbing the hill to the farm. While the view is certainly attractive, it would also be away from any place to eat, etc. (unless your family opens a cafe :wink: . So if he were to go ahead, I would recommend a CS-100 to yield the full 80A to a Model S.
