WHERE to Plug In Your EV

Most people charge their vehicles where they live or where they work. The links on this page will help you find a charging station near where you will be traveling:

In San Francisco

• Many San Francisco City-owned garages/lots have charging stations. See http://www.sfmta.com/cms/pgar/garages.htm for a listing.

• Free EV charging is available at Luscious Garage http://www.lusciousgarage.com/index.php/blog/ev_charging_now_available/

In the Bay Area

• Five small-paddle chargers have been installed at Point Reyes National Seashore with the help of SFEVA chapter member Greg Simon.

• Fairfax - An SPI charger located behind City Hall on Winnie Lane. A suggested $1.00 donation can be left at the police station.

Survey of 120-volt outlets in SF, CA

STATUS - In Progress - Can you help?

Most public EV charging stations don't accommodate conversion EVs that plug into regular 120V wall outlets. For the first time, the SFEVA is surveying parking sites in the City to find places for these cars to plug in.

We have completed inspection of all City-owned garages.

If you'd like to know which garages have outlets, contact us at info2008(at)sfeva(dot)org.

If you see plugs in parking lots or garages, please e-mail info2008(at)sfeva(dot)org to tell us:

• where you saw them
• whether they're near a parking space
• whether a cord between the EV and the outlet would be in the path of pedestrians.
• the date of your observation

We'll work on getting permission to charge later on. Watch this space for survey results, or contact us to hear more about 120V outlets in your area.

we will not share your email address or use it for spam!
