About

Six ChargePoint Level 2 stations occupy the parking area at the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority Water Campus on Manchester Avenue in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district, installed as part of the facility's $20.6 million infrastructure upgrade completed in October 2021. The campus sits at the trailhead for the San Elijo Lagoon and Ecological Reserve, giving EV drivers a two-to-three-hour hiking window that aligns with a full Level 2 charge cycle. Each J1772 connector delivers 7 kW at 240 volts, and the ChargePoint network app displays real-time port availability, energy pricing at $0.3564 per kWh, and session-start authentication via RFID or mobile tap. The three-hour free parking window accommodates trail visitors and Bump Coffee patrons in the Cardiff corridor before a $2-per-hour idle fee encourages turnover. The renewable-energy campus generates solar power on-site, routing clean electricity through the same grid connection that supplies the ChargePoint EVSE hardware at each parking stall.
