Sorry if this was already asked and answered, but what happens if the grand prize winner options out a less expensive Tesla? A base 70D, for example. I assume they still get the "no pain" tax benefit, but do they get to keep the difference between the actual cost of the car and the $100,000...

The IPPSolar Efacec-brand CHAdeMO stations seem to be NRG EVgo as of this morning. Most of the stations that IPPSolar originally planned were never installed (AFAIK) and a few were even installed and then ripped out a few months later, never having been turned on. This is a positive move, as...

Any RFID-enabled credit card should work on a ChargePoint station. Apple Pay should also work if you have an iPhone (6 or newer) or Apple Watch. I assume that Android Pay would work, too.

I think the first public Combo only installations were on the East Coast. If you don't want to count the BMW HQ in NJ as public, then Nauna's Bella Casa in Montclair, NJ is probably the winner of the title. That's Tom Moloughney's (i3 owner) restaurant. It's been installed for at least a...

There's a residential street that I sometimes use as a shortcut to get to work, and on one block there is a Smart ED, a Tesla 70D and a street parked i-MiEV. The weird thing is, the 70D is never plugged in (but is frequently not there, so I know they drive it), and the i-MiEV charges in the...

We have no state credit here, but yes, basically what you described. I think it's a good deal.

Thank you all for your responses. This is a 2014 Leaf SL that has a build date of 12/2013. Not that new, but "New" as far as my bank was concerned (which allowed me to get a new car interest rate), and never titled, so I'll be taking the tax credit. The price was also pretty good IMO...

Hi all, I've just purchased a "new" (<5000 miles, never titled, so I'll be taking the tax credit) Leaf from a dealer that bought the car from a Manheim auction. The car is currently being serviced at a Nissan dealer and cleaned, and I'm hoping to pick it up (and see it for the first time in...

I've been dealing with an exporter in NJ that I found on eBay. He seems to deal almost exclusively in Leafs. A week or two ago, I was about to drive out there to take a look at some used Leafs, but thankfully I called him and he let me know that he had literally sold every single Leaf he had...

Mercedes (for the B-Class) and Kia (for the Soul EV) are advertising usable, not total, battery capacity. That's where the idea came from.

As much as I'd love to think Nissan is switching to usable, rather than total, I doubt it. The photo posted by the dealer in Seattle clearly showed the S trim with 24 kWh. If the SV/SL with 30 kWh meant usable capacity, the 24 kWh would presumably be as well -- which would mean the S trim was...

Another good trick if you're trying to find one with QC is to look at the "under the hood" photo. They almost never post a photo of the charging ports, but they usually have a photo under the hood. Two skinny orange cables to the left of the main thick orange cable coming off the J1772 port...

You should add your location to your profile so it is easier for people to answer any questions you have. I'm going to assume you are in the Boston area? If you leased from a participating dealer, you should have received an "EZ Charge" card, which gives you the "No Charge to Charge" program...

The biggest downside to the eGolf, for me at least, is the lack of compatible infrastructure in the area. The following two maps should make the situation crystal clear. The first is the CHAdeMO map for the tri-state area, the second is the CCS Combo map for the same area. CHAdeMO is used by...

Cape Cod Mall popped up yesterday on PS.

My own personal experience says that this statement is TRUE, not false. I had a blowout flat on my then-new 2012 Leaf on a Sunday morning at 1am. Seeing as it was really late at night, I just wanted to get home, but Nissan Roadside would only tow me to a Nissan dealer. I said fine, take me to...

Well, the Thruway is currently installing dual-standard QCs at the service plazas between Albany and NYC, so I don't know how many people would actually exit to charge up in New Paltz. But I've stopped there to visit friends before, it's a cute town. I wish more places would adopt this idea.

I think the central server idea is great. I don't know if this has been suggested before, but have you considered creating a very basic, easy to use (plug it in and turn it on kind of thing) version of the app geared towards people searching for a used Leaf? I could see the app utilizing the...
