We charged Forest on a CHAdeMO quick charger for the first time.



It works better to charge when the battery is lower - you get more range in the same time plugged in. We went from 56% up to 82% in 20 minutes, it can go from 0% up to 80% in about 30 minutes. So, next time we will charge on the way home, rather than before getting to the destination.

This was at Quirk Nissan in Quincy MA. There was a Leaf there when we arrived - we waited about 5 minutes - and another Leaf arrived 3 minutes before we unhooked. That driver said there is often a wait at that station - and she hopes they put in a second unit!

Busy place!
