    It looks like ChargePoint has a monopoly on the charging stations:





    EDIT- I guess the company that produces these is called Coulomb Technologies:

      While we are on the topic of green energy, how about a green building that is also a head office? Bonus points if it is a certified LEED building. Lots of room to be creative with this tag.

      This one (Mountain Equipment Co-Operative Head Office) was built a while back, before LEED was in full force, and since 2005 the company has made it a mandate that any new building will be built with the intention of acquiring LEED certification:



      The louvers on the outside of the building open and close automatically in response to the sun, to either heat or shade the building as necessary. I'm not sure why they are open at the moment:

        Looks like a building to me. How would know if one is green or "Leed"? (whatever that means)

          A lot of Cooperatives are, my electric company is considered green, might be leed...I'm guessing that's a certification of some kind based on their ecological footprint or some tree hugging BS... Excuse me while I go baby seal hunting.

            Hmmm, guess I'll have to do some homework on this one tomorrow...

              I didn't know oHIo had baby seals. Is it a privite reserve or part of the SCAA, Seal Clubbers Association of America. We just go to the beach and hit on pasty white fat chicks.

                I'll use this as my guide....learn something new each day!



                ps...since green means shutting all the lights off, I can't get a building shot tonight.

                    Pabst Blue Ribbon! You truly are old school, old_skool. That was Granpa's on my momma's side of the fam. favorite. I was a Bud man before I quit. When I quiet drinking 2 1/2 years ago, I think I contributed to the unemployment problem. A least two workers. Probibly another one when I quit smoking a month later.

                                Well, after riding for 136 miles, I went to the parking lot H that the google search said had two of the darn things since 2008.
                                As this is Sunday at a Community College, there was not a single car anywhere and not one charging station to be found or even evidence that there had even been two of them there!
                                So, I rode all around the entire campus and found parking lot GG but no HH!
                                Still no charging station to be found!

                                I took some pic's and video's to show just how much fun it was riding down in the canyons earlier today on the frickin highway.






                                Motorcycles started showing up in my rear view mirrors when cruising around the campus.
                                They were piling up just up the hill from where I took the flag pic.
                                So, I scooted on over to take a peak...
