Some News Clips - 

Napa Valley:
Seeking to attract affluent visitors, the Napa River Inn on Main Street is installing three electric vehicle charging stations in the middle of its downtown parking lot, said Sara Brooks, hotel general manager.

Tesla will offer a CHAdeMO adaptor for the Model S for sale online this winter.
The company had previously discussed offering this option in Japan, but it will be offered initially in North America. Adaptors for European and Asian markets will follow.

Regional Director of Chevrolet for General Motors Western Region, Dale Sullivan, has told Plug In Cars that the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, available only in California and Oregon, is selling at at rate “way over our expectation,” he said. “Keeping a good quantity in stock is the biggest problem we have.”

One of the downsides of electric car ownership is the pitiful range, but that's not such an issue if you happen to own a Tesla Model S. The electric car manufacturer has officially opened a network of charging points that allow owners to drive all the way from Mexico to Canada -- for free.

October 28th to 29th, 2013 24 hour Update

From approximately 2 AM on October 28th until 2 AM on October 29th, 2013, the activity stream from the PlugShare app shared the following:


  • 16 new public Chargers were listed, 
  • 9 Personal Chargers were shared, 
  • 57 new Photos were added, and 
  • 182 people checked in at a charger on the PlugShare Network:
    - 159 of them had an OK or a Great Experience, and
    - 23 - not so good.

Some interesting other things happened too:

  • 'Suzi' Shared a Home Station (~Saturday), West Hartford, CT (8 Blocks from West Hartford Center) that was a duplicated entry. 
  • A new photo of 'Delete this entry' was added (~Saturday) {Just after a New Check in at Centralia Wendy's - Location Squamish Public Library, Squamish, B.C. 
  • 'Ryan' shared a home station (~Sunday) [Duplicated] right after Hanny checked in at Kohl's, Santee (A Red or thumbs down, experience)

Issues that continue to cause challenges are:

  • Electric Vehicle Charging Spots continue to be 'ICE'd', 
  • Chargers are available on limited hours, or behind gates that are closed, 
  • Dealers being brand sensitive (Sorry - you can't charge THAT car here!), and even some that unplug a car that is charging on their lot (during the day)!

Basic PlugShare Charger Tally update June 18th to June 24th, 2013

This post will cover the PlugShare Charger additions activity for the week of June 11th to June 17th, 2013 - as provided by PlugShare in their Android App, and is mostly taken from daily screen captures at about or near 5 PM when possible. June 17 = 18,374 total stations.

Here is this weeks's Animation of screen Captures:
June 18 = 18,398 total stations, (24 New Stations since the day before) (Previous Post)
June 21= 18,445 total stations, (47 New Stations since three days before)*
June 22= 18,460 total stations, (15 New Stations since the day before)
June 23 = 18,478 total stations, (18 New Stations since the day before)
June 24= 18,499 total stations, (21 New Stations since the day before)

Animation


This brings us to 125 chargers added to the PlugShare system this week. This is an average of almost  18  per day! (An Average of over 100 Chargers in 6 Days).

*There was a 3 day Gap doing the screen Capture on this week, between the 18th, and the 21st of June, but I still got the first day - and 4 other days!

Basic PlugShare Charger Tally update June 11th to June 17th, 2013

This post will cover the PlugShare Charger additions activity for the week of June 11th to June 17th, 2013 - as provided by PlugShare in their Android App, and is mostly taken from daily screen captures at about or near 5 PM when possible. June 10 = 18,242 total stations

Here is this weeks's Animation of screen Captures:
June 11 = 18,271 total stations, (29 New Stations since the day before) (Previous Post)
June 12 = 18,282 total stations, (11 New Stations since the day before)
June 13 = 18,305 total stations, (23 New Stations since the day before)
June 14 = 18,330 total stations, (25 New Stations since the day before)*
June 15 = 18,348 total stations, (18 New Stations since the day before)
June 16 = 18,365 total stations, (17 New Stations since the day before)
June 17 = 18,374 total stations, (9 New Stations since the day before)

Animation


This brings us to 132 chargers added to the PlugShare system this week. This is an average of over 18  per day! (An Average of over 100 Chargers in 6 Days).

The PlugShare App was not updated, or Incremented to a new Version Number, in this week, but it currently has had some updates from the time frame reference of this posting - to the present (July 09, 2013).

Sunday, July 7, 2013

Basic PlugShare Charger Tally update June 4th to June 10th, 2013

This post will cover the PlugShare Charger additions activity for the week of June 4th to June 10th, 2013 - as provided by PlugShare in their Android App, and is mostly taken from daily screen captures at about 5 PM.

Here is this weeks's Animation of screen Captures:
June 04 = 18,115 total stations, (27 New Stations since the day before)
June 05 = 18,129 total stations, (14 New Stations since the day before)
June 06 = 18,164 total stations, (35 New Stations since the day before)
June 07 = 18,182 total stations, (18 New Stations since the day before)*
June 08 = 18,208 total stations, (26 New Stations since the day before)
June 09 = 18,221 total stations, (13 New Stations since the day before)
June 10 = 18,242 total stations, (21 New Stations since the day before)

Animation


This brings us to 154 chargers added to the PlugShare system this week. This is an average of 22 per day! (An Average of over 100 Chargers in 5 Days).

*You will note - the Animation Frame for June 07, 2013 - states 18,188 (Less 6 Chargers) - because the frame capture was at 9:35 PM - so I simply viewed the activity back to about 5 PM - and noted there had been 6 chargers added since that time - hence the note - Less 6 chargers = 18,182 total stations - as listed in the daily listing above the animation.

While the time frame from April 30th to June 10th, 2013 is only about 5 weeks, in that period of time there have been a net 1,026 Electric Vehicle Charge Points added to the PlugShare Network of Listings, or about 200 per week average for that 5 week stretch!  

(It would be interesting to compare that number - with the number of New Electric Vehicles Sold and Delivered over that same time period!)

It wouldn't hurt to post another reminder - When Adding New Stations for a location - please verify if it is in fact a new charger listing! Please don't add a Duplicate because of a simple oversight - to look on the map for that area and check to see if there is already a listing given.

Basic PlugShare Charger Tally update May 28th to June 3rd, 2013

This post will cover the PlugShare Charger additions activity for the week of May 28th to June 3rd, 2013 - as provided by PlugShare in their Android App, and is taken from daily screen captures at about 5 PM.

An interesting thing happened this week - the PlugShare system logged in it's 18,000th Charger shared on its website & apps on May 30th, at 11:20 AM:



Here is this weeks's Animation of screen Captures:

May 28th = 17,957 total stations, (15 New Stations since the day before)
May 29th = 17,982 total stations, (25 New Stations since the day before)
May 30th = 18,808 total stations, (26 New Stations since the day before)
May 31st = 18,030 total stations, (22 New Stations since the day before)
June 1st = 18,056 total stations, (26 New Stations since the day before)
June 2nd = 18,091 total stations, (35 New Stations since the day before)
June 3rd = 18,088 total stations. (3 Less Stations than the day before*)

Animation

This brings us to 146 chargers added to the PlugShare system this week. This is an average of over 20 per day!

*You will notice there was a step back in the total on June 3rd: This is the Team at Xatori/Recargo - Cleaning up the Duplicated Charger Listings and adjusting the database to reflect the removed extra duplicates. 

Please check if there is a PlugShare Listing at that spot - before adding a new one
One Location I found seemed that there were OVER a DOZEN LISTINGS for ONE SINGLE CHARGER!!!

When gathering data for this Blog - I have often seen a new charger listed - which sounded familiar to one I had listed previously - and with a little review of the PlugShare Map - I found that the new listing was less than 100 feet from the previous listing. Often with pictures added - from a slightly different Angle - of the SAME EV CHARGER!!
Please check if there is a PlugShare Listing at that spot - before adding a new one


Basic PlugShare Charger Tally update May 21st to May 27th, 2013

Continuing with the simple theme of presenting the PlugShare Charger growth with a screenshot animation from my Galaxy Note Android Phone - of the PlugShare App report of how many stations they are listing - here is my update for May 21st to may 27th. The Friday is Missing (May 24th) in the loop, but you can still see the growth for the week.

Rather than make one post with 4 weeks listed here - I will make one post per week - with an animation for the week, and a count update. This will be quicker - and get the posts out for viewers to check out sooner!

Enjoy!

Here is the Animation clipped to a size of 750 pixels by 328 pixels - easier to show and fit in the body of the blog:

May 21 = 17,790 total stations, (11 New Stations since the day before)
May 22 = 17,821 total stations, (31 New Stations since the day before)
May 23 = 17,848 total stations, (27 New Stations since the day before)
May 25 = 17,892 total stations, (44 New Stations since the day before)
May 26 = 17,913 total stations, (21 New Stations since the day before)
May 27 = 17,942 total stations. (29 New Stations since the day before)

Referring to the last post - May 20 = 17,779 total stations, so from that until may 27th, 2013 = 163 New Charging Stations Listed on PlugShare this week!



I hope it works for you!

Also note on this week, that on May 22, 2012 - the Makers of the PlugShare site, apps, and tools - Xatori - Merged with Recargo - a fellow EV Charging Station Mapping Company.

You can see the Combined Product Tool List here. Read the Official Announcement here.
While the number of Charging Stations continue to grow - the number of tools to find, manage, plan, and enhance the use of Electric Vehicles continues to expand as well.

Short Summary Update to May 20th, 2013 for the Month Since Last Posting Tally

Having a difficulty after multiple attempts to get back in the activity stream with with my Android Phone or my Android Tablet to the April 21st Last Posting - I have decided to take and post what screen Captures I have going forward - and Tally them in Animations as shown below.

I know I won't be listing the actual new stations in this post, or the check-in activity or new pictures added, but I am sure they are in proportion to the growth in charger listings!

This First Animation is from April 30th, to May 6th, 2013 - showing the Tally of Charging Stations as reported on the Android PlugShare App:

Watching the Animation - You can see the Reported Tally Change - day by day:
Apr. 30 = 17,216 total stations,
May 02 = 17,227 total stations,
May 03 = 17,240 total stations,
May 04 = 17,304 total stations,
May 05 = 17,324 total stations,
May 06 = 17,354 total stations.

In this one week, there were added 138 new Stations listed on www.plugshare.com

Screen Capture Animation of PlugShare Charger Tally's - April 30th to May 6th, 2013



In the Following week - May 7th to May 13th, 2013 - watching this animation - you can see the Reported Tally Change - day by day:
May 07 = 17,376 total stations,
May 08 = 17,446 total stations,
May 09 = 17,487 total stations,
May 10 = 17,511 total stations,
May 11 = 17,533 total stations,
May 12 = 17,561 total stations,
May 13 =  17,587 total stations.

In this one week, there were added 233 new Stations listed on www.plugshare.com (211 from these above and the difference from May 6th [17,354] to May 7th [17,376], as well)
Also Note - the Android App was upgraded this week from V2.5.4 to V2.6.





In the Following Week - May 14th to May 20th, 2013 - watching this animation you can see the Reported Tally Change - day by day (I have clipped the screen shots to what is relevant):

May 14 = 17,606 total stations,
May 15 = 17,646 total stations,
May 16 = 17,690 total stations,
May 17 = 17,714 total stations,
May 18 = 17,741 total stations,
May 19 = 17,764 total stations,
May 20 = 17,779 total stations.

In this one week, there were added 192 new Stations listed on www.plugshare.com (173 from above + 19 between May 13th and May 14th, 2013).




This Brings us to May 20th, 2013 - a Month past the last Tally Posting. In this time there has been at least 563 new chargers listed on the PlugShare website and Service. I will continue on through the next 4 weeks into June, Tomorrow!

Daily Posting Delay - heavy Electric Vehicle Event activities - Screen Captures should Help!

My apologies for the long delay in updates on this blog since April 21st!

There have been Elements of activity in completing the Electric Avenue 2013 Event, along with Work, and Electric Vehicle Events and scheduling, that have been consuming my extra time.

I have been trying to at least log reference points by editing the Daily minute by minute Activity notes via my Galaxy Note Phone - and taking screen Shots of them to save the file dates and Activity points for the daily reference.

Here is one of my earlier Examples - when I was practicing the screen capture of the 'About' Screen (Added into my March 10th Tally Posting) :

Sunday, March 10th, 2013 Plugshare 'About' Screen Capture


I may have missed a few days - but the goo news is that there are now over 18,000 Charging Stations listed on www.Plugshare.com - growing at the rate of about a 100 new stations each 3-5 days typically!
