ChargePoint Charging Station Demonstration
I got a little caught up while filming some video on the Enertia this weekend, and I let the battery run down a little further than I planned. Luckily, I knew the perfect place to top off. A nearby McDonald's has a pair of ChargePoint EV charging stations...AKA Prius Parking Spots. I figured that I would swing by and be forced to squeeze my Enertia between a Prius and the ChargePoint, but when I got there, I had it all to myself.
Here's the edited footage from the demonstration. The audio was junky, so I just threw in some explanatory text and put a soundtrack on it. Feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions.

This is very cool. Thanks for posting it. Looks like something out of the Jetsons. The future is here now. One bad thing is that the new Coloumb chargers as shown in the video and are being given away by way of government grants are not going to have the Level One charging ability with a household 110 volt plug such as you used.
But your video is really very cool. Post more!
