Tony Frakenplug Williams and other CHAdeMO supporters need to get off the Spark Forum! Regardless of your justification, hatred is hatred. All you do on this sight is upset Spark EV advocates and cause problems that lead to EV doubt. Discussion of the Spark EV is what this forum is about. All...

Thanks NomadMac and Time2go.

Have no qualms with whatever happens or who ever comes out on top in the charger games. Do not like a more advanced group attempting to squash a younger group and it really has no place on this board. Lets move the EV group forward! kenn

On salary or do you have an ax to grind?

Hi Tony, A very important point you keep 'forgetting' to mention is that all American and European EV manufactures have agreed to support the SAE Combo charger which you keep refereeing to as a 'frankenplug' plug as if it was some kind of monster. If you choose not to use it, fine with me. If...

What we say or do in relation to QC's probably will not make any significant difference. Since this is a Spark EV board, would think that all posters would have some interest in promote the SAE Combo QC. Each person, within reason, can say what they think. kenn

Sour grapes!

Hi Corwin, Will be looking forward to your post on 1/30. Where exactly is the charge station located? Have relatives in San Jose area which is 45 miles and couple of side trips would put me over the battery capacity. My reason for getting the SAE Combo was to avoid long charge times using...

Hi Corwin, Am at loss when you refer to the CCS combo. Think it is the same as the SAE Combo [Society of Automotive Engineers combined with a J1772 plug]. Correct? kenn "The charger is at the VW research facility in Belmont, CA. I'm not sure what goes on there, but they had one of the first...

Hello All, Here is a source(think it is sponsored by GM) for information on the Spark EV. "If you ever have a need to contact us, you may call me at 866-790-5700 x40834 or email me at [email protected]. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8am -11pm and Saturday 11am – 8 pm...

Hi Corwin, Have not tried to use the HVDC charging yet due to the fact there is no place nearer than San Diego(live in Prunedale) that has a SAE Combo charging station. I have read 'efacec' but have forgotten what it means. Hope to talk with Spark Advisory Team (1-855-477-2754) today...

As stated, we are talking dc Level III. Its no deal to make a dc charger. It will take time for realism to penetrate this mysterious cloud that has been built on this subject.

Now it can no longer be said the SAE Combo charge is a concept without a car! Hope there will be low powered(10KW) home charge and high power(~50KW) commercial charge[both 480 VDC] to follow shortly to aide in saying goodbye to range anxiety in EV's...

jsca72 Always good to hear positive practical experience along with any those not so positive since a spark is in my future. _________kenn_________________________________________________________________________________ jsca72 Post subject: I'm Amazed What This Car Will Hold Unread...

Hi Tony, Sorry that you are having problems understanding my post. Will attempt to make them a little clearer. Do not have the time to go back and verify all the data received. Guess I tend to trust most data which is viewed, especially if it appears to be in the bounds of reason. Look at...

Hi cwerdna, Each of us has their own thoughts on HVDC charging format but really do not have enough 'clout' to accomplish the format they think is superior. Even LOGIC does not apply. Like previously stated, select one and go forward with it and make adapters for the...

Has anyone added a second 3.3KW charger in parallel with the present 3.3KW charger? If so, where did you put it and was the charger initially designed to fit in the space? Would think it would make the L2 from 0 to full in less than fours.

Hi cwerdna, The very essence of AC is the fact that it changes polarity in a sinusoidal form at its frequency. Everything is relative, but the transfer of power appears to be superior at the 50-60 cycle range. Much higher frequency generally deals with communications(kilo,meg,gig, & etc...
