Before I become a paid member at MNL, I recall I might've used Imageshack. I think I used them to post other stuff on other forums before. Directions at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2456 might work here since MNL seems to run the same software.

I use Photobucket.

Yes, MyNissanLEAF and MyRav4EV, amongst others including this forum, all run on the same software.

Now http://www.chademo.com/ says there are 686 CHAdeMO DC FCs in the US.

Per Plugshare it appears there are now 21 CCS-1 QCs in the U.S. plus one in Canada (the map shows it in VA, but the address is in Quebec!):

CA 8
OR 7
WA 1
AZ 1
CO 1
GA 1
HI 1
VT 1

Edit: CCS in NJ has now disappeared from Plugshare, and I replaced it with the one in Hawaii, which I'd overlooked.

The Quebec one has now disappeared from the map; another is shown in Toronto, but the photos and comments only indicate an L2.

Not bad... it just seems CHAdeMO's momentum just keeps going, adding more units in the USA than CCS Combo1 has in the same period.

But, while I do not expect CCS to ever catch CHAdeMO, somebody will take BMW's and VW's money while installing subsidized $6500 Bosch CCS Combo1 chargers. That's in addition to the 200 CCS Combo1 installed by NRG over 4 years.

Yes, CHAdeMO will be right alongside every one of those NRG installs, plus CHAdeMO might add 200 or more in the USA next year alone without counting NRG !!!

Misinformation re the Spark and Quick Charging commonly boils down into one of three general statements

Excellent post. Thanks for going through all the trouble to create and update it.

Glad you found it useful. I try and update it whenever any significant changes occur.

The SAE CCS previously shown on Plugshare at Bellevue BMW is now confirmed not to exist; it's J1772 L2 only, and one of the CCS in Southern California has also disappeared from the map; not sure if the latter is an error or not, but have removed it from the count for now. This reduces the current CCS-1 total to 18 in the contiguous 48, plus one in Hawaii.

That San Diego charger was probably taken off because it rarely, if ever, worked. Hopefully NRG is actually fixing that station.

The NRG station (CCS-Combo1) was/is a European spec unit, using a special Euro- spec transformer. I would expect them to remove it, since it was primarily put in for photo ops with GM and BMW.

Then they threw a little girl fit (like several on this forum) when they found out that Nissan would also be present with a CHAdeMO charger for the photo OP during Plug-In 2013 in San Diego.

The Fashion Valley CCS is back on Plugshare now so it appears to have been a Plugshare glitch, as has happened with a few other sites. Another eVgo dual site has popped up at Carlsbad Premium Outlets, so there are now 10 CCS shown in California, 6 in SoCal and 4 in Norcal. eVgo CCS installs finally appear to be ramping up. Edit: Note that one of the CCS shown is another 'coming soon' site, at a Trader Joe's in West Hollywood. However, it's apparently an eVgo Freedom station, so I think we can count on it being 'real' at some point in the not too distant future.

Bump, for the latest update of the first post.
