All,
Just wanted to to tell you my experience. I was told that I had been approved for the EV project yesterday. I starting emailing people within the Ecototality organization at random that I found under their contact listing for Ecototality North America which happens to have a headquarters here in Phoenix. I received an email back from one of the contacts and then a phone call. I was one of those people that had received an email that ETEC needed more information and that I might still qualify for the program. Never had an assessment, and was never scheduled for one! I was frustrated by their lack of response. Apparently, they approved more people last month and an email was to go out letting you know you were approved into the EV project, however I never received one! I was told by ETEC that they updated Nissan with a list of people that were approved which enabled the ordering email to go out to me! Anyone that was in limbo would not get an email, no matter what date they reserved? I am not sure this gels with other people's stories, but its the one I heard. I was able to place my order on the first day without ever having any assessment so who knows? Luckily, My I ordered the SL with the L3 connector, otherwise, ETEC said you will be disqualifed from the program which mean no free charger! The best part is once Nissan is notified you are part of the program, you do not have to pay the $700 for the quick charge port as ETEC also picks up that cost. Also, they are unsure about whether or not the Federal rebate(should you have to pay for a home charger) will be extended past 12/31, so make sure to get the installation before 12/31 if you want to make sure you get the rebate!
