LeftieBiker said:Getting back to the topic, the new fast charging stations that EVgo has installed in my area all seem to have both CHAdeMo and SAE Combo, so maybe that's the wave of the near future: just put both chargers in a station and let the manufacturers keep choosing which to install. Sadly, they don't seem to have L-2, so I can just look at them until my next car...
I'm personally glad to hear Albany got dual-standard units, since Albany is the single-most important DCQC waypoint for all of my travels.

The bad news for you is that none of them are on the interstate. You'd have to get off of it and go to the Albany Hannaford Supermarket (close to I-90, anyway) to charge. At least you can eat and shop a little.

It works the other way around for me: QC extends my range.craig said:I was looking for the QC package just so that I could be sure of getting the 6.6kw charger for my home L2 setup. I will prolly never use a Quick Charge station, though I can see how it would be a useful thing for commuters who are at the edge of their range.

E.g., we occasionally 'go to the city' 90 miles away for shopping. L2 en-route is enough to add a little buffer to get there but L2 for the 90 miles back home is way to slow. If the city had convenient QC I could effectively double the LEAF range.

I never QC my 24kWh Leaf. There still isn't a CHAdeMO within a single-charge range of my house. Even so, it is wonderful for commuting and local errands (90% of trips, maybe 40% of my annual miles). However, if I had a 200-mile BEV, I could make the 250 mile trip to my mother's house with a single 15 minute pit stop in Albany.
I'm sure that type of pattern repeats for others. So even though DCQC is a "fringe topic" for now, it will very soon become a "mainstream topic".
No -- they have L2. My point though was that if QC is available it can markedly change the use scenarios of the car.craig said:SageBrush said:It works the other way around for me: QC extends my range.craig said:I was looking for the QC package just so that I could be sure of getting the 6.6kw charger for my home L2 setup.

Isn't there a Nissan dealer in the city with a Quick Charge setup?
Wannabeleafowner said:Help a rookie to understand here. So with the exception of the leaf and a couple others everyone else is not using the CHademo connector for fast charge? So if I understand this correctly, none of the others can use the CHademo fast charge stations. So when I look at the plug share map and see all the CHademo stations none of these will be useable in the future except by the leaf and a couple others. I wonder if the province will rip them all out. (They just put them in). Will there be adapters. Confusing times.

Japanese market BMW i3 comes w/CHAdeMO standard (http://insideevs.com/bmw-i3-gets-chademo-charged-japan/, http://www.bmw.co.jp/ja/press/2016/20160927-a.html and http://news.bmw.co.jp/press/2013/11/13a.html).
Honda Clarity FCV supposedly comes w/CHAdeMO outlet (http://longtailpipe.com/2015/10/29/honda-shows-next-years-clarity-fuel-cell-car-with-power-export-via-chademo-port/) like the Toyota Mirai FCV.
