Project Get Ready: Preparing Cities for the Plug-in Electric Vehicle » Technical Adviser Meeting Minutes 11/12/09: "Should cities install more Level 1 chargers or less Level 2 chargers?
* recommend level 2 – level one fine for PHEV, but pure BEV, especially with long range, push level 2 everywhere
* once they have EV they want level 2, level 1 not practical – can’t go very far – those who have studied issue want upgradeable units
* level 2 the way to go
* we found testing in japan – DC quick charge – can use this in garage and commute
* valet quick charge in parking garage – one charger services 50 vehicles a night
o eliminates icing – like a gas station – Tokyo area
* cities don’t want to double dip and do 2 sign ups and roll outs – so do an upgradeable – start with level 1 and upgrade"
