A lot of the other places have weird things like pay to get in/out garage situations etc. this is the best option in the city. I go later at night to avoid crowds. You can go to target to kill time. I'm still shocked there's not more and better supercharging options in the city . A lot of family and friends have warned me about coming here in the rain bc of hella crazy big puddles lol. So I just avoid here if it's raining. It has always felt really safe bc there's always ppl charging here, so it's never been creepy lol.

Go to Parking Lot D, then you'll see the long pictured ramp. I was going to settle for the 72 watt chargers in the entrance, but then I realized the fast 250 watt chargers are at the far end! Plenty of chargers here, but obviously the faster ones will be harder to get. They are SUPER fast! Went from 28% to 90% in 35 min!

Best of all, you can go shopping inside TJ's, sip their free coffee or bite a few samplers, and manage to get more range on your EV before heading home. How convenient! Thank you Trader Joe's!

Letterman Digital Arts Center garden and pond is a nice breath of fresh air amid the crazy SF crush This is not a station for those in a hurry. The slow charging actually worked for us as we explored the garden and saw the famous Yoda fountain by chance. Starbucks and the nearby restaurants were closed for Christmas so there were no public restrooms to be found.

Avoid this location at all costs. In order to get to the supercharger, you have to pass guards at…read morethe gate and wait for them to laboriously and pointlessly explain the procedure to you. (If they ask if you've been here before, say yes.) Then you have to enter an underground garage and pay a fee, even if you're only going be charging for 10 minutes. Since it's underground, there's no cell coverage, so there's no way to remotely check the charge status. So if you don't want to pay idle fees, you have to sit in the car in the garage the whole time. If you want to go outside, there's only one exit, up an elevator and out some unmarked doors. But if you go through the doors, one of the aforementioned guards comes running over to tell you that you weren't supposed to be using those doors. If you then try to rightfully point out there's no other exit, he just reiterates the exit is closed and then walks away. With all of that said, the charging is dead slow. If you have any other option, take it .

There's a reason Kevin at Bay Electric has nothing but five star reviews. I reached out to him…read morebecause I had a particularly complicated EV charger install project that other electricians said would be either impossible or cost too much to complete. Kevin was the only vendor who came out in person and gave me an honest and fair quote for what it would take to get it done. What I appreciated the most before we got started with the project is that he didn't charge me when he needed to come back a couple of times to finalize the work and materials needed, as well as ensure that he had the access he needed When he started the work, it was clear he would easily be the most experienced electrician I've ever worked with. He showed up exactly when he said he would and got the work done in exactly the amount of time he projected it would take. Even more importantly, the project passed inspection without any issues. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat and have recommend him to friends who are looking for a competent and honest electrician in the city.

Plaza has a small but convenient selection of shops / restaurants to hit up while you charge. My charge depends on my goal and I usually follow my manuf's suggestions. To optimize for battery longevity during work days, I charge to 80%. For long haul driving on weekends, I charge to 100% (manuf rec 1x / month). CONNECTOR TYPES: (3) CCS, 350 kW (1) Level 2, 7 kW PRICE: With EA's Pass Pricing, it's $0.56 / kWh. IDLE FEE & GRACE PERIOD: To ensure chargers are available for the next driver, you'll incur an idle fee: $0.40 / minute not spent charging after the 10-minute grace period. The Electrify America app and the charger screen will let you know when you enter the idle period and start incurring idle fees. Learn more on electrifyamerica.com/pricing PROTIP: Regulars wait for an available charger by queuing alongside the dumpster. This is something the local EV community came up with. There's no signage for guidance. No employees for directions. VIBE: Usually uneventful here. Mostly filled with pleasant interactions from other EV peeps. Except today... when a Karen and a Ken were in true form. Talking AT the people in their cars while charging. I say talking AT and not TO bc they didn't approach the folks at the chargers like neighborly adults to inquire how much longer we'd be. Instead, they chose to be snarky and each had the audacity to walk in front of our cars to passive-aggressively bark snide comments. Karen shouts: "TAKE YOUR TIME" then walks away. I felt bad that her wrinkles and deep furrows really display outwardly what a miserable old bag she is. Let this wait humble and remind you that your luxury EV doesn't trump anyone's place in line. Ken musta felt empowered by this poor behavior bc he gets out of his own car, pulls his chinos up well beyond bellybutton height and decides to consign on that betch's rudeness: "ThEy'Re ALL tRyInG tO cHaRge To 100% - sO sTuPiD!" Then gets back in his car... to continue waiting indefinitely :) First off, fk your betch and the clique you claim. You ain't entitled to SHIT here at a PUBLIC CHARGER. Don't wanna queue up? Install a charger at your house. Or how about you plan accordingly? Maybe don't go during peak hours and expect those of us who WAITED OUR TURN to unplug for YOU. I was gonna stop at 80%. But that attitude made me stay till 99% cuz I had the time today. And I still left before the other 3 cars who were plugged in ahead of my arrival. It was a nice, collective unspoken FAFO moment of camaraderie. It doesn't cost anything to be kind & polite. So come correct or get corrected.

Today, Stonestown is the hotspot of students as well as families in a city where there are no other malls. With a cinema, food court, bowling, arcade, a escape rooms, along with supermarkets and major stores as well as lots of restaurants, no wonder it's a major shopping attraction. Plus, there's plenty of parking, a rarity in San Francisco!

The parking and getting there is a bit bizarre since there's an underpass bridge that the mall…read moreitself goes over I think? It reminds me of a smaller Del Amo Fashion Mall if anything. Parking and driving around looked quite busy in the front where you can see that tiny Trader Joe's that's overshadowed by the giga Whole Foods and what I think are protestors against Uniqlo, I think. Never seen protestors for that brand in particular, but it is what it is. There's LOTS of college students (near SFSU apparently) and Zoomers since it was, I suppose it's after school on a Tuesday. Parking the back was no issue. Also a decent selection of shops that I would go to normally, like Daiso or Miniso, as well as a Round 1. Neat that they have a Quickly's that looks like it's untouched by time (portraits of cute Ulzzang style workers enjoying the drinks and food there), there's charging tables, and a good amount of eateries and options to get boba and snacks. Completely incomprehensible unless you're specifically from the 626, but this mall reminds me of a mix between the Santa Anita mall and the West Covina mall (during it's prime). Pretty bustling and lots of businesses that actually interest me. I think my only qualm is that everything is at a smaller scale and smaller store, like their Pop Mart and Miniso are markedly smaller with a smaller stock, so keep that in mind.

That cost $1550 plus a $600 smart plug. The work was done quickly and it worked for Night One. I'm happy.
