Have you tried contacting Tony Williams Quick Charge Power about the JDEMO charging issues? I believe he designed the JDEMO so he can likely answer your questions.

We have had the same problem mentioned in this thread with at least the EVGO charger that is located in San Luis Obispo, CA in the Marigold shopping center. (It's the only DC fast charger in all of SLO.) The charger used to work properly until recently when some sort of firmware update was...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I managed to drive an VW ID.4 a couple weeks ago when I saw one at the dealership in Santa Maria. In comparison, to our 2014 RAV4 EV it's definitely slower than the RAV4 EV in sport mode. There's less space in the cargo area and the roof is lower in the...

Two new DC fast chargers have opened at the CALTRANS maintenance station in Kettleman City. They are both free. Here's the link to the info on plugshare: https://www.plugshare.com/location/300027 With the addition of L3 chargers in Kettleman City it is now easy to drive from San Luis Obispo...

I had some unusual behavior occur with our 2014 RAV4 EV this last Sunday when I took it on a round trip to Salinas and back. In the morning on the way up, there was no problems charging in Paso Robles at the EA site and King City at the Chargepoint site. When I left Salinas and arrived at...

Another corridor that could use some DC fast chargers would be along SR-46/I-5 between Paso Robles and Bakersfield as well along SR-41 between Atascadero and Fresno. DC fast chargers along those routes would make going from Central Coast to Bakersfield or Yosemite more practical. At the...

The ChargePoint DC fast chargers in King City are not live as of 12/26. I checked the site on my way home that night. There doesn't appear to be a transformer at the site yet. I was however able to get some charge at the 101 SB Camp Roberts site. It provided charge at 30kW and I was able...

It looks like the site is not listed in the Chargepoint app or on their website so it might be a good idea to verify it is active before planning on using it. The one check-in was only a comment that did not charge there. I think site hasn't gone live yet. I'll check the site on my way home...

The Electrify America site in Paso Robles on Spring St is now live. https://www.plugshare.com/location/193091 I got an e-mail from Electrify America at 7AM stating it was live. Another person commented three of the four pairs of chargers were functional. I hope one of those is the...

It appears that each charger is only able to charge 4 to 6 vehicles according to the info I found at the Monterey APCD website. https://www.mbard.org/files/055c754be/8wbod11-14.pdf There currently is no connection to utility power. The Monterey APCD approved additional funding recently to add...

It looks like there's a new Chargepoint site in Oakhurst as well that is just about to come online as well. Plugshare - Vons Shopping Center This location would help anyone going to Yosemite from the south via the southern entrance on SR41. There's still nothing on SR41 between Fresno and SLO...

Electrify America seems to have a strong bias towards CCS. Most locations seem to have only one CHAdeMO plug. They are building a site near me in Pismo Beach and it has 4 stations with CCS and only 1 CHAdeMO. So it will be a wait if the CHAdeMO is tied up.

What brand and model of bike rack is it?

Yes, I do recall the 30-30 plan that was pushed by governor Brown. While it does have some proposed CALTRANS L3 charging stations located at maintenance stations those were culled from a list of suggested locations from the planning dept at CALTRANS. I was the one that pushed to have the King...

It's actually up to the equipment division at CALTRANS to decide what goes on the vehicles. (Lights, radio, etc) AFAIK there are no L3 chargers installed in any maintenance yard or CALTRANS facility. The only facilities that will have them in the future are the rest stops near Camp Roberts...

The RAV4 EV based in CALTRANS District 5 (San Luis Obispo) was traded away to District 12 (Orange County) since the persons in charge felt it was not very useful. (They only used it to make short trips to the post office.) I think they got a minivan instead. District 5 management seems...

I arranged this group buy for a metal license plate frame from the Frames Co in Southern CA. See the link below. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1518&p=19027&hilit=tesla+metal+frame#p19027 I believe they are still around and they can make variations on the original as...

The first CEC funded L3 charger to be installed by Recargo is now showing up at the Prunedale Shopping Center west of 101 off San Miguel Canyon Rd in Prunedale. See the link below. https://www.plugshare.com/location/163319 It's not operational yet so they are a little behind schedule since...

There are a few things to be aware of about the CALTRANS L3 chargers at Camp Roberts (101 NB/SB) and Shandon(46 EB). The L3 chargers will be solar powered with batteries to store energy from panels. They didn't want to run 480V service to the locations so they went with a battery powered solar...

I found this little tidbit of info on Recargo's website. http://help.recargo.com/support/solutions/articles/29000021463-where-will-the-recargo-network-be-built-how-many-chargers-will-it-include- So it appears Recargo is starting work on the L3 charging stations between Santa Barbara and the...
