Re: [EVDL] ChargePoint usage

I've charged there. I come to Kent sporadically, so you won't see my
Leaf very often, but I'm glad it's there when I need it.
Just keep talking up EVs, we'll convert folks over time.

Cor,  I plan on making a sign for the window with my cell if somebody needs an 
EV charging spot, but it's kind of discouraging that a place like Kent has 
almost no EV's and nobody ever charges there.  This is a progressive town, but 
not for EV's.  The max occupation for this parking garage is 1 car, and that is 
maybe 2 times a month for the EV charge spots.  I'll be in my new spot everyday 
now, I'm guessing others have not realized the rate has been reduced to 10 
cents/kWhr, but who knows, I've only seen a few EV's in Kent!

Re: [EVDL] ChargePoint usage

Rod,
Even with all the historic data, you can’t predict when an EV’er in emergency 
need of some juice will arrive, so it is good habit to free up a charger when 
not actively charging there (or post instructions in your windshield how/when 
unplugging is allowed if there is the possibility to use the charger from 
multiple parking spots, but still then you may be blocking an EV from charging 
if other spots do fill up).
Even just leaving your cell number so an EV’er in need can request you to 
vacate your parking spot so he/she can fill up – if they are assertive enough 
to take that step….
(you can make the threshold lower by an inviting phrase like “feel free to call 
me when you need a charge”.

[EVDL] ChargePoint usage

[Rod Hower via EV]

 I started charging my Chevy Volt at a downtown parking deck in Kent, OH.  They 
previously charged 35 cents/kWhr, so I never charged there (I can make the 42 
mile round trip in my Volt without using gas in the summer, So I would only 
charge at home with 13 cents/kWhr).  I just discovered that they now only 
charge 10 cents/kWhr, so I plug in everyday at work in Kent and also at home.  
The are 3 ChargePoint spots in the parking deck and 95% of the time I'm the 
only car there.  My charge finishes before lunch and I was moving the car to 
free up the spot, but it seems there's no reason to do that if no cars are 
waiting.  I tried to find something on the ChargePoint website showing a 
specific charge stations usage, but couldn't find anything.  Is there a way to 
find out the charge stations usage over a period of time?Thanks,
