I went to the Berkeley, CA IKEA to shop/charge. When I arrived, I found out you needed to register ahead of time and have a card mailed to you before you can plug in. I just received my card in the mail and I see I need to setup an account with credit card before charging; blink charges for the time using their charger.

While I am fine with the concept of payment for the time using their charger (note they’re not charging you per kWh), I wish these press releases would highlight that charging with blink does cost you money.

There is a real problem at the Emeryville Ikea. Three of the spots were taken up by ICE cars. We were lucky to get in when we did. Another electric car couldn’t park in the electric only. This is another ongoing battle for electric cars.

Absoloutely. I noticed the Nissan LEAF can be bought with an -albeit expensive- home charging station.

I’m seeing announcements about charging stations going up nearly every day — they’re on their way!

There are also good home options now available. GE just started selling some of its chargers on Amazon.

Only thing stopping me on EV is a lack of fuelling infrastructure. this is heartening.
