Welcome to the forum. We're also in Raleigh and have a Blue Ocean Leaf. So look for another Blue Leaf driving around North Raleigh. I usually see another Leaf about every 10-14 days. It's a good idea to get the 240 charger. We have 2 cars that we have to charge so I start with the Volt and...

Raleigh’s Bet on the Electric Car: Only Time Will Tell http://www.raleighpublicrecord.org/news/transit/2012/07/09/raleighs-bet-electric-car-only-time-will-tell/ Interesting article about Raleigh and the electric car. Wow 1 percent of the national figure -- that's not bad!

I definitely seeing more leafs around the Triangle area. For the first few months of the year I think I saw two Leafs. In the last 2 weeks I've seen 4 -- two on the same day. For the last couple of months, I see one about every 10 days.

Thanks Good Idea. I found their email address and sent them an email this morning suggesting they post a phone number to call. Already got a response: I was pretty impressed that they responded so quickly. Hopefully the chargers are back up and running.

We went to see a movie at North Hills in Raleigh tonight and both EV parking spots were open. However, when we tried to use the charging stations neither one was working -- the red wrench icon was showing on both stations. The instructions said that indicated a malfunction. I wanted to report...

My wife has talked to Whole Foods a couple of times. She mentioned the green paint and they seemed to think that was a good idea. They also said that they could page the car owner to move their car but there was nothing they could do to force someone to move. I would suggest that everyone who...

http://www.wral.com/traffic/story/10940769/ Haven't seen anyone post this yet: Raleigh, N.C. — If you can't plug in your car, stay out of the nearly two dozen electric charging stations around the capital city. The Raleigh City Council on Tuesday approved a measure that would impose $50 fines...

I just went through this whole process in Jan/Feb. I waited about 3 weeks and heard nothing so I called the Progress Energy Number 1.888.810.0399. They were pretty helpful but what happened is that the information I entered into the Nissan system did not get automatically sent over to the EV...

We got a call from Southern States Nissan yesterday telling us the car was in and we could pick it up that evening. They were very nice there and we picked up the car last night. I think we were either car number 28 or 29 from that dealer -- they said they had sold 28 Leafs so I'm not sure if...

Thanks Lance and Sarah for the posts. We accepted the quote yesterday! Today, we had an email from AV to go ahead and schedule our charging station installation. So things are starting to move a little. I have to say that Southern States quickly turned around the RAQ. We put the RAQ in on...

Hi All, This is my first post here though I've been lurking for several months. We put in our reservation for a 2012 SL (Blue ocean with splash guards and floor mats) on 12/23. It's taken us nearly 2 months but we got to the point to request a quote. We spent about 6 weeks waiting to see if...
