Nice picture Lance. I'm planning to stop by there tomorrow evening to grab a beer at the Fox&Hound. See you guys Sat morning.

Southern Energy Management is our local Sun Power dealer (remember the announcement Nissan made about partnering with Sun Power to provide LEAF owners solar charging options?). I've already contacted them about a Solar Lease plan thru Sun Power, but unfortunately, they don't offer lease plans...

Yes -- The Asheboro Zoo installed a 104kw solar system last year. It was put in by Southern Energy Management based here in Morrisville. http://www.southern-energy.com/content/examples+of+commercial+solar+power+and+thermal+installations/1626

Also -- EVgo has a Facebook page. They are a company in the Houston, TX area that have been putting in level 3 chargers in Walgreens parking lots. Although they don't have immediate plans to expand to NC yet, may be helpful if more comment on some of their posts that we desperately need them here!

I agree Lance -- Level 3 chargers would have been a better use of the grant. Let me know if you get anywhere with the state guys you contact on both this and the parking law.

Thank you for sharing... I saw the ribbon cutting on News 14 (TWC) and ABC 11 late last week for the I-40 charging stations. The anchors at ABC 11 chuckled after the story when they reported it would take an EV 4-6 to fully charge and made a couple of negative comments about having to stay at...

I would think we should start at the state level and contact some of our state house reps and see if we can get one to sponsor a bill that establishes an EV charger parking spot standard, similar to handicap parking spot standards. If we can't get traction at the state level, then move on to our...

The issue here is there is no state, county, or city law that prevents ICE vehicles from parking in EV charging designated parking spots, which to me is pointless to put them in if EV owners aren't able to actually use them. The state needs to pass a law whith specific verbage required for the...

I got the same email as well. I'll be there!

I'm good for a Sat Lunch at Brier or Thursday evening downtown. I checked the chargers at Nash Square out on Sunday. Topped the LEAF off while the family hung out downtown for a bit. Let me know dates and times and I'm in.

Really had a great morning answering questions and talking with you guys about your LEAFs. Maybe next month we can get several more out there with us!

Same thing happened to me at the McDonalds in Cary today... Mazda pick-up parked and blocking the Level2 charger. Tried to park beside him but the station cable would not reach... Saw him leave after I got food so I went out, moved over, and plugged in. There are 2 chargers here. A level 1 and a...

Thanks for the info Tony!

I'm in. Sounds like a fun morning for the kids as well!

That's next on my list! Know where I can get some inexpensive decals?

I ordered my GE WattStation from Lowes.com for $999. Free shipping and no tax. Took 4 days to arrive. I installed and put in my circuit myself. You can see pictures of my install here: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7425 Make sure to mount the unit before putting in the outlet...

LOL... Indeed it is! :D

NEW OWNER!! http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7425 I didn't realize we had this many owners in NC already. Very exciting! Has anyone done any driveway parties with Plug-in-America or EV get togethers? Would love to see a LEAF/EV rally to show of our electrics to the community and...

Thanks! Disregard the white blank faceplate. That was my first attempt :oops: . If anyone orders the GE WattStation, don't put in your outlet before you unbox and mount the charger. The cord to plug into the wall is only about a foot long and has NO reach!

Picked up our LEAF last week from Southern States and found the forum today. I have already found some great info on the forum for public chargers in the area. I opted not to get the standard Nissan home charger and install and instead ordered a GE WattStation from Lowes.com and installed the...
