Online Forum for the 2012 Rav4 EV

The ChargePoint grant funded site in Castaic just off I-5 is also open. It looks like it came online earlier this month.

Looks like Camp Roberts on the 101 just went live. Seems to be the first of the CalTrans 30/30 sites.

Yes, both Northbound and Southbound rest areas have one charger each. However, it's still not clear to me what happens when the batteries are drained after the sun has gone down. The listing seems to indicate that the system may not be available until it is recharged by the solar system.

The ChargePoint grant funded site in Anderson, CA is open. This is about 11 miles south of the other ChargePoint site at the Target store in Redding, CA.

I don't think it's been posted in this thread yet - the ChargePoint grant funded site in Grass Valley has been open since early August. It's at the BriarPatch Food Co-Op near Sierra College.

The Camp Roberts units are now showing up in the ChargePoint app, so they're active on the network. They should be free, according to the CalTrans terms.

It appears that each charger is only able to charge 4 to 6 vehicles according to the info I found at the Monterey APCD website.

There currently is no connection to utility power. The Monterey APCD approved additional funding recently to add a PG&E power connection to the charger to enable the batteries to charge when there is little sun or at night.

At this point it would be wise to use caution when planning to charge at either of the Camp Roberts L3 chargers since they are free (there is usually a long wait) or the batteries may be depleted due repeated usage (at least until the utility power connection is made).

That's good news. There are two rest areas, so it will require two new grid connections for a total of not more than $150,000. I wonder what level of grid connection they can get for less than $75,000. The Express 250 station they're using requires 80A 480VAC 3-phase power. That is 66.5kVA input for 62.5kW DC max output. I have to wonder if they're planning for expansion for more stations or just want a connection for a battery charger for the Envision system. If that's the case, a 200A 240V single phase connection would suffice to deliver 48kVA. 150A 208V 3-phase would be equivalent and may make the battery charger more efficient.

I am really curious how much these stations will be used. They are free, but the location dictates that only people passing by will likely use them. I can see that people in cars like a Chevy Bolt might choose to charge here when traveling this corridor just because it's free and they can charge less somewhere else where they have to pay. At the same time, I would probably plan to have enough battery to make it to another DCFC in case it's occupied or low on battery.

Well, that didn't take long. Both of the Camp Roberts DCFCs are down and "undergoing maintenance".
Several people did successfully charge, so that's good. I would like to see them have better uptime though. Having them both down for maintenance at the same time is a problem. At least if one was down you could loop around to the other one and not delay your trip by much.

The CEC funded EVgo site in Williams appears to be online, at least according to Plugshare. It's not showing up in the EVgo app yet.

ChargePoint sites in Placerville and Colfax have appeared in the ChargePoint app, but do not show status yet and don't show successful charges in Plugshare yet. The Colfax site has not been added to Plugshare yet.

The ChargePoint Dunnigan site is open, with a single 50kW unit across the street from the Electrify America site.

The ChargePoint site in Red Bluff has been installed for a really long time, probably July or earlier. Now it is finally showing all three stations as active in the ChargePoint app.
