Interest in long-distance EV travel in California is increasing but we need to keep up the pressure on the state to ensure action. There has been discussion of California needing to do its part to complete the West Coast Electric Highway in the press recently (greencarreports.com), and we have...

The state is already fulfilling your wishes to spend your tax dollars on H2 (hydrogen) fueling. The CEC has spent $40 M in the past 2 fiscal years, and another $20M planned for the next fiscal year starting in July. That is $60M total for the current fleet of about 200 H2 cars in the state (per...

CHAdeMO is the present, and it will still be popular in 2020. The fact that it is a standard with a big installed base helps. There will be CHAdeMO adapters for future cars with nextgen charging, like there already exists for Teslas. We do need DCFCs in cities and on long distance corridors...

So is L2 better than 50kW for freeway charging? The real issue is that Leaf batteries are too small. You can only charge for about 15 minutes at a high rate. Not efficient when you factor in the time to get off and back onto the freeway. 100kW would save you only a few minutes because you'd be...

No, I haven't. I'm not a Leaf owner and I don't have a Facebook account. It would be great if you copied the first post of this thread to those places though!

Your tax money is being spent anyway by the CEC: the legislature has mandated that certain amounts of $ be spent every year. Would you rather see your money go into natural gas or hydrogen fueling stations instead of DCFCs? It is going to take a LOT of DCFCs to enable long-distance travel over...

Do any more Leaf drivers in California want more DC fast chargers? The petition now has 285 signatures, with few or zero signings over the past day. We really should get this to at least 500 to make an impact with the California Energy Commission. Please sign today if you haven't already (link...

Thank you Paul, JasonA, and others for your support! We are now at 277 signatures - a hopefully we can get to 500 soon IF people sign and repost / circulate it. Today the California Energy Commission contacted the Sacramento EV Association for input on where to put the next round of DCFCs -...

Thanks to everybody to has signed the petition - we now have over 250 signatures! That said, we still have a long way to go if we are going to hit 1000. Please continue to sign the petition and share the link with family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, EV groups etc. via email, facebook...

Thanks to everybody who has signed so far. If you haven't signed, then please get to it! :D Also remember to share it amongst your family, friends, and social networks. The change.org page even lets you post it to facebook directly. We've gotten about 15 signatures since posting the...

Thank you for posting this! I just posted a similar message but with more background info in another category / topic: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=19269" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It would be most helpful if residents of California signed the petition...

I'm new here and am asking for your help in petitioning the California Energy Commission to install a network of DC fast charging stations to allow long distance EV travel in our state. The CEC is spending about $100M of our taxpayer money a year on alternative vehicle infrastructure with the...
