California is still in a sad state with regard to fast charging, David. Big programs like Ecotality's haven't produced much more than press releases.
There are a couple pilot installations:
- There is a TEPCO unit which was given to PG&E in Vacaville. As I understand it, it's turned off awaiting UL certification, which is unlikely to happen because TEPCO doesn't use UL for certification.
- There is a private install of an Eaton (this page) charger at Mitsubishi Corporate HQ in Cypress. They've been kind enough to let the public use it during working hours (check in with the main desk).
- SDG&E is reportedly installing an Aerovironment unit in San Diego soon.
- Nissan has a portable-ized Aerovironment unit they take to events. See a photo here.
That's it so far. There is hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel. Various other companies have fast chargers undergoing NRTL certification, which is a requirement for installation in most jurisdictions.

A year + has passed since Richard's info on installations of fast chargers for EV's in California. How are we doing now? I read an article about a charging station installed in Belmont, CA (at a Volkswagen?! facility). Any others in the South Bay? I've been looking forward to driving my Leaf from Berkeley to Santa Cruz (with one fast charge en route each way) ever since I purchased it 19 mos ago... Sigh.
Thanks in advance for any update.
