    To upgrade home charging or not...

    I vote No L2 @ Home, Keep charging @ work. We have 2 L2 @ work, and ~4-5 EV's Three Full time 5 days a week, 1 3days a week (Night Shift). I live/work few miles from work also, so I don't need to charge every day, If we have 4 EV during the day we do the noon parking space shuffle. We...

    newbie question to charging station

    $8.00 You pay for as long as you are plugged in, so 4hours x $2 = $8.00 Since charger are a limited, you should move your car as soon as it done, Your car being there is preventing another car from plugging in, and the charger owner to make money by charging the 2nd car, if they stopped...

    How can we get the "no parking" rule to be more effective?

    Unfortunately it going to need to be Tow. With a 1:1 space to charger. Giving them a ticket does you no good, you still can't charge. Odds are you probably are not going to be able to charge there anyway. You have to get the owner/manager of the lot to call for a the tow. Then wait for the...

    Charging station at the restaurant, how much use will it get

    I would do Store Paid Charging the way they use to handle store Paid parking lots, You charge for the Charge, say $1/Hr for L2. (and $5/hr after x (3?) hours), but anyone that comes in to your store/restaurant, Somehow you set it up so you can scan there ChargePoint Card, and they get a 1...

    2013 Leaf SV

    I like the Lease Turn Around Idea. Check to see if there is a Lease Buyout Termination penalty, You might need to lease if for some length of time to avoid it. The Cost of Funds (Money Factor) is so low now, it would not add much to your lease cost. If it was me, I'd Lease it for the two...

    Soon to be another LEAF owner

    Where in the Atlanta Area are you? For Now a L1, or depending on where you are L2, But if you go the public charger route, you need to figure our what you are going to do for 2-3hr a each time you charge. If/When you add a 2nd Leaf to your fleet, You probably should look at the L2 at home then.

    New Leaf Owner from Richmond Hill GA

    The Charleston Trip will be pushing the range. The Hilton Head (PlugShare only show a L2 there, {you would spend 3 hours or so there charging.}) To West Ashley is 87 Miles. The I95 streach will put a big drain to your battery, and It;s Unlikely that you will make it to the 1st Charger in...
