SF Bay Area SAE CCS chargers?

[Boatguy]

I can only find one SAE CCS charger (Nob Hill Grocery in Mtn View) in the SF Bay Area.

Is anyone of aware of others, or of planned locations?

I think eVgo plans on adding SAE ports to all of its Chademo locations eventually. I think there are 16 in total in Bay Area.

CHeck out plugshare's filter function to see them (or eVgo's own website).

There are 3 in the Bay Area. In addition to the Mtn View location, there are the following:

Volkswagen Group of America
500 Clipper Drive, Belmont, CA 94002

Benicia City Hall Parking Lot
250 E L St , Benicia, California, 94510

The only other one in Northern California is:

SMUD HQ
6151 S St Sacramento, CA 95817

All of the above have comments or pictures from i3 owners...

Well the market is not yet saturated!

I'm pretty sure VW is not an NRG eVgo. What about Benecia?

I think Benecia one is a one-off station installed by the city for their fleet. I'm glad they allow public access, but It has a horrible and confusing UI, and they charge you a bunch-- only for emergencies and novelty.

When I used it, the touch screen was cracked and it was very hard to get it going. But it eventually worked fine and, now that I know what to expect, it won't be too bad in the future.

I go to Sacramento occasionally and a DC charge at Benecia and then at SMUD near downtown should enable me to easily go "all-EV" to/from Bay and and Sacramento. I assume someone will put an SAE charger near Nut Tree soon, which would be even better.

You guys need to be turned on to an app called "PLUGSHARE" install it and then filter only SAE 1772 and SAE combo and it'll see that more starting to appear. e.g, Fresh n easy in pleasanton, and one at Livermore Premium outlets!

Got a free (included with the lease) charge at the new Whole Foods on The Alameda today

The DC fast charge went from 47% to 88% in 15 minutes in Eco Plus

Got a free charge at the whole foods in Cupertino.

FINALLY...a CCS charger in San Francisco at Walgreen's at Bay and Columbus...near Ghardelli Square.

Odd location for it, but it'll do in a pinch. Hopefully a few more will crop up in SF.
