Here's the UK results as of now as to how many would toss in some bucks for a DC charging network:
Yes - 19 - 70.37%
Maybe - 5 - 18.52%
No - 3- 11.11%
We in San Diego are certainly looking at all the possibilities. But, with your 100 of the_most_interested and motivated LEAF owners, you might get 10% or 20%, or even 30% who will actually lay down cash. 30 people times $100 gets you nowhere.
If you can get 30 people each with $1000 and you have a start to one DC charger. But, even that motivated group won't throw that kind of money in. Maybe 3 to 5 will throw in $1000. And you're back to square one.
Here in San Diego, I believe we have more LEAFs than any other area in the country. Yet we still need about $2000 per person to make it work. Anything significantly less with the current 700 LEAFs doesn't get us to the first square (at the expected 1% to 2% investment rate).
My current thoughts are that we need to get one up and running somewhere, with money and favors, begged, borrowed, but never stolen ;-)
