Not too many EVs here on the northwest side. There's a th!nk in the neighborhood, often occupying the A/V charger at Wright College (haven't noticed if it has an EL plate). I've seen two silver or grey Leafs around Montrose and Austin- the same one you mentioned and one in the 900s- and that's...

I've noticed most chargepoint units at area Whole Foods have been removed, bodybagged, boarded up or otherwise unavailable. South Loop, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Sauganash definitely, and I've seen posts on plugshare with the same situation at some suburban locations out of my driving area- maybe...

Check arrived end of July. Application was submitted in early January.

Just received mine Monday too, but with number 855. SOS must have shipped out big batch! I ordered them in mid-May. I wouldn't recommend waiting to order your EL plates. Since the fee is prorated by 1/2 year, you'd only pay $9 more to order them now, vs waiting til January 2014 to order them...

Bought our EV in December 2012 and submitted the application before the 1/31 deadline and still haven't received a check. I called about 2 months ago and they said it should be coming in about 2 months. About to call them again. Anyway, my point is don't hold your breath because they haven't...

I added the sites I can remember off hand. I will say that if you filter out fee-charging sites on Plugshare, the map for this area looks pretty accurate. I'm sure a few Nissan dealerships and other undiscovered (for Plugshare purposes anyway) free EVSEs are missing, but otherwise I'm not sure...

Well some host businesses already are "giving back to the community", like the handful of Walgreens in the Chi area with AV units rather than Chargepoint units, as well as Interpark garages downtown and at least one Whole Foods, which have decided to program their Chargepoint units to charge...

Yes, IL DCEO EVSE 50% rebate is currently closed. Should re-open later this year though. From their website: This program is currently closed. DCEO anticipates re-opening this rebate program again in the spring or summer of 2013. Program guidelines and application packets will be posted on this...

Thanks all for your replies. Since I got my papers for the IL EV rebate in before the end of December, I thought I'd be seeing a check in April as many of you did last April. Thanks for the reality check, Forest. I just received a voice mail from Springfield EPA making it sound like it wouldn't...

Hi! I own a 2013 focus electric, purchased in December. It's funny reading through the posts here from this time last year when many of you obtained your Leaves- our much smaller FFE community is going through our first winter with an electric car and having the same range surprises you all did...
