Speaking of charge stations at gas stations...

Yesterday I made the 42 mile (one way) drive to our data center near the Sea-Tac airport. Drove the new Camaro because my Mini is still on its Atlantic cruise.

On the way out, I noticed some EV charging stations near the freeway on/off-ramp by a Shell Station. So cool! Once it is here, I could take the Mini without any fear of running out of juice if there happened to be bad traffic, or I started with a less-then-full pack, or I had other side trips to do. The Mini should be able to do the round trip just fine under normal circumstances.

I looked it up on ABRP today and found that the charging is actually AT the Shell Station. One of their "Greenlots" charging stations. I'm having trouble finding pricing info for it right now though. The Greenlots website seems more geared toward driving property owners to set up charging than for people who want to charge their EV.

EDIT: Installed their app and found the station. They have ChAdeMO, CCS and J1772. All are $0.21/kWh

Interesting note: the Greenlots app shows other providers nearby, including status and pricing where available. Shows the EVgo station at the Ace Hardware by home as well as many Chargepoint and Puget Sound Energy (the power company) chargers. Doesn't seem to show Electrify America, though.

I like that, didn't know it could do that. I'm gonna have to spend more time playing with my car instead of driving it so much.
