Marais 1er Avril 2013 - Charging & Autolib Station

Charging as usual behind Mairie de Paris ...



The new Autolib Station right next to it has its Third Party EV Charge Spot available - for once ! - with an electric car logo painted in white; Note that this spot is longer for an Electric Scooter to be able to park in the back and charge 

The Third Party EV Charge port with a regular 220V outlet for the Electric Scooter / EV

Autolib Station - Rue Lacordaire 75015 & Go Motorboard Electric Scooter

New Autolib Station in rue Lacordaire, Paris, where I dropped off some family members yesterday. 

Kids had great fun again using daddy's Go Motorboard electric scooter :-) on this first warm day after a long cold winter here ...

It looks like I am the first one using this brand new station, with no Autolib parked on it yet

Autolib sends me a windshield sticker for third party EV Charging

Last night, I received this in the mail: Autolib sent me a windshield sticker for third party EV Charging 

From now on, I will have to have this sticker visible whenever I use a third party charge Autolib spot, otherwise I will get a parking violation and my car or scooter will be towed     :-(

Second day with LEAF Link iPhone App - New Version 1.1.0

This week end, after updating the LEAF Link iPhone App to the latest version 1.1.0 on the App Store, I went to several places in Paris and checked often the app and its notifications



Status out of the parking

Sending Japanese restaurant address to the LEAF GPS

Testing: Start Charging (I am parked in the street, unplugged), and the return message is "Charging failed, not plugged in", which was expected ...

After lunch, my son and I are heading to Opera to the Apple Store to take a look at the new Iphone 5

and parking at Autolib on Boulevard Hausmann, and plugging in on the third party EV charge spot

New status notification from the app received

Galeries Lafayette ...

The Opera Apple Store (a beautiful building, formerly a 100 years old bank)

and here it is, the new iPhone 5 ! and it is difficult to get to have one in our hands

Check the app: the car is charging ...

Nice, nice ...

Cool in landscape, much more room 

Beautiful aluminum back

Thin

and at the accesories downstairs

New York City

New headphones

Amazing flyover...

Still charging ... more range 

More range, end time shortened

And moving to Marais, parking at Mairie de Paris, our usual charge station, after de-ICEing one spot (I had to remind the Diesel BMW owner parking that it was reserved for EVs)

The Cityhall

Charging again

and heading for this great Italian ice cream shop

Milk cream cone, yummy !

And a Vectrix is there charging too

Dashboard range

is identical to LEAF Link app range, 150 km

And on the way back home, an Autolib in traffic jam

Tonight, I will have to take some time and test Mike's new version of the app, including OpenChargeMap charging stations location bug
