Close Out Report: The Plug-In North Central Washington haL2 project started in August of 2013 with the goal of placing sixteen 70-80A J1772 chargers in central Washington. These were termed haL2 (high amperage Level 2) to differentiate them from 40 - 60 A chargers. At the end of 2018 there...

I live near Wenatchee in central Washington. The Ranger service is excellent. The last technician came from Spokane so am thinking there may be a few living in your area.

Plug-In North Central Washington needs an Aervironment TurboCord for a demonstration at Millersylvania State Park in March. We really do not want to buy one as it would be used only once. If you can lend us one please respond.

If this is intended as a humorous comment I get it. If the geographic comment is sincere then let me say that Grand coulee Dam is the largest electric power producer in America. The city of Grand Coulee has infrastructure to support many haL2 (80A) charging opportunities and even L3 could...

Pullman now has an L3 charger; dual head CHAdeMO and CCS.

Randy Brooks and I made a presentation to the Grand Coulee Chamber of Commerce with the intention of gaining their support for a community effort to host at least one haL2 (80A) in Grand Coulee. We talked about making this one project of a combined effort to help Grand Coulee Dam visitors move...

This is almost a final report.... The attached map shows only Plug-In North Central Washington Hosted sites, there are dozens more if you check on PlugShare or other EV charging APPs. We are currently working hard to add one more haL2 in Grand Coulee so EVs will have an easier time taking in...

For sure; these will be NEMA 14-50 outlets which may supply up to 40A at 240 Volts. Actual current depends on several factors. You should have this adapter in your travel charger kit. If you travel in north central Washington there are lots of 80A Clipper Creek chargers thanks to Plug-In...

Plug-In North Central Washington is ready and able to help with EVSE installations anywhere in Washington. There must be local advocates who can foster the development of Host sites and because we visit our installed locations every six months for cleaning and data reading, there would have to...

So our proposal was not selected for funding; but several very good central Washington routes will benefit from L3 opportunities. The GREEN lines are the awarded routes while the RED Dots are the submitted proposals, Plug-In NCW submitted under our parnet organization North Central Washington...

Not many eating establishments in Wenatchee will allow non-service animals inside. One suggestion I can make is to order your lunch "to go" at one of the eateries in the Pybus Market then walk 200 feet to the PUD riverside parks and eat at one of the tables or benches.

Plug-In NCW has borrowed $7,000 to complete are next four installations. Cashmere, Grand Coulee, Oroville and Rosk Island. We have at this point installed 20 haL2 (70-80A) EVSE in our area and are anticipating that many west side residents will EV over for a visit this summer! Donations...

Double Header! Plug-In North Central Washington validated two CS-100 haL2 (80A) units today. Tonasket and Bridgeport are ready for 80A charging, check PlugShare for detailsons. Tonasket is on Highway 97 and will assist travel in the Okanogan Valley wine country as well as extend the...

New 80A haL2 being installed at Bridgeport Park, Bridgeport, WA. Plug-In NCW is also placing an haL2 in Grand Coulee, WA so that visitors to the Methow Valley can take in the light show at Grand Coulee Dam. This charging opportunity should be operational by the first week of May.

Digicool: rather than 40A at the Chelan RV park, consider using the 80A units at: Mellisoni Winery, Campbell's Resort or the two 80A units behind city hall. Yes, Chelan is "electified" it might be the most dense haL2 area in the state.

BerTX: right on! Each of us should feel an obligation to other EV drivers to post on PlugShare after a charge.

Plug-In North Central Washington has been communicating with Tesla SC Team for about a year and a half. Their plans are very fluid... as to driving Highway 97 there are 80A chargers along the way and the Aerovironment L3 chargers in Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Skykomish, and Sultan are very...

Bandwidth; it is small but Plug-In NCW is averaging about $40 a month from this donation process. I am very proud to say that we spend all of this money on buying charging equipment. We are at this moment in receipt of five ClipperCreek CS-100 units that will be going into Tonasket...

Anyone know of an EV club or organization in the Spokane area? There is no Electric Automobile Association Chapter listed and a search did not yield anything other than a meeting schedule from 2010! VW is soliciting projects for funding as penance for faking the EPA on diesel emissions...

Congratulations on your new Model S. We live near Wenatchee, WA and last year needed a door handle replacement. Hector Cazares was dispatched from Spokane. He told us that he covers most of eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Tesla changes with time so even though this is one year old...

Plug-In NCW is preparing to order six ClipperCreek CS-100 EVSE units to make the final installations in our plan. What you can see is that Everett to Spokane is EV80 doable. We will validate this Spring with a Leaf drive across the state. New Leaf owners Wendy and Ed Isenhart are already...

I have a Chargepoint account with two cards. Unless something has changed since 2014 when we opened this account the renewal only activates when you deplete the credit card amount you specify. You may also want to check their "Connections" list to see if your employer has signed up to pay for...

If you visited the Methow Valley, Chelan, Pateros or Wenatchee recently and believe you left something at a Plug-In NCW haL2 charger you can claim it by response to this post or by Private Message to me. You will need to describe which haL2, when and what you left behind.... Jack

Davenport haL2 is not complete as of this week. We only post to the APPs after we have validated the installation. The Republic L2 is there and operational, I will check with Ferry County PUD to see if they intend to place it on driver APPs. I am completely sure they will. I drove past it...

Good comment. We are planning a follow up survey that asks about where you have driven your EV. BTW Republic has an L2 charger that Plug-In NCW helped install. It is a solar offset charger that will cost the Ferry County PUD no money for the electricity used.

Central Washington has plenty of 80A J1772 charging opportunities. The City of Chelan has four haL2 units; Campbell's Resort, City Hall and the Mellisoni Winery. All of these are free to use.If you use PlugShare, be sure to have J1772 selected as a charger type or they will not show on the map.
