A new Localized Health Impacts Report was released by the CEC today that updated sites proposed by ChargePoint, Recargo and EV Connect for their North-South Corridor sites. ChargePoint moved 2 sites, Recargo moved 5 sites and EV Connect moved 2 sites.
Localized Health Impacts Report - Addendum 4, GFO-15-601The ChargePoint changes are inconsequential, they are either just down the same street or across the same street.
The EV Connect changes are a result of their partnership with Love's alt-fuel company Trillium.
Trillium Press Release. One of these site changes is resulting in a charging station moving from a Pilot Travel Center right off CA-99 in northern Madera to a Love's location on CA-145 much further from CA-99 in Madera.
Recargo changed their sites on the US-101 corridor. The Paso Robles site was moved from a rural winery to hotel that is more "in town". I never liked their original Paso Robles site. The Gonzales site was moved to Salinas and the Greenfield site was moved to Soledad. This is a northern shift of these two sites and the spacing is OK, but Salinas already has fast charging available. The only good thing about the Salinas site is that it is closer to the freeway than the current EVgo site. The San Luis Obispo site was moved from the north side of town to the south side just off Los Osos Valley Road. It doesn't look like there is any food in walking distance. The Santa Maria site was also moved from the north side of town to the south side. The new location is a bit off US-101, but it's in a shopping center that has lots of food choices nearby.
While I'm talking about the 101 corridor, I will mention that it was reported in the Facebook group that a rep from the Monterey Air Resources Board indicated that the CalTrans fast charging site at the Camp Roberts Rest Areas North and South bound should be open by October.
