I went by Bell Ford yesterday and used the DCFC for a couple of minutes just for fun. Didn't have my clamp meter on me. I have a feeling they are going to wait to add these to the map until they start charging money.

We moved from Ohio to Phoenix back in August, and have had the car since September, but haven't had much time to get involved with any other EV drivers until now. We just installed our solar system, so I thought it was time to get connected and see what other Leaf drivers are up to and find out where new chargers are popping up. I met a guy named David down at Monti's in Tempe as he was charging his Leaf, but he's the only person I've chatted up about the car besides the Blink folks at their headquarters. Hope to run into some of you around town. Cheers. James

Welcome to the Forum, and to the Phoenix metro area.
I got my LEAF in April 2011 (a year ago today) and Installed my Solar System in February 2011 and upgraded the system in February 2012, I charge daily to 100% and charge on-peak, which makes the cost $0.00.
I've met lots of LEAF owners here in the Phoenix Area. At the Premier of Revenge of the Electric Car at the Camelview in Scottsdale, there were about a dozen of us.
Post your Solar Production in the Our Solar Production section. We'll be interested to see how you do.
jspearman said:Congrats on a year of gas-free driving. Are you with APS or SRP? Our solar installation was just finished and is awaiting APS to certify the system and put in the second meter. Silly that it just sits there for weeks. Anyway, just wondering what plan you are on with rates. I'm trying to decide whether or not to stay on the 7-12 time advantage plan and wondering what your experience has been. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have used the Riverview QC twice before, and can you confirm my understanding that if there were 2 cars there, both plugged in, the QC station will not charge both cars simultaneously. The second car that's plugged in later will have to wait until the first car to finish charging before the QC station will switch over to charge the second car, right? So in effect, there's really 1 QC station there charging up to 2 cars sequentially.RickS said:The only way to know would be to have two cars lined up charging one after the other and measure the initial input the the second car when it starts.

shrink said:Tried the L3 @ Riverview Toyota today. Right side was out of order and left side would not read my card. Called Blink and was told there was an open service ticket for the right and that she could not remotely turn on left side.
I was able to charge at the L2 there, but had planned on the L3. Grabbed a beer across the street @ Famous Dave's and watched some NBA basketball for a 1-1/2 hour charge so I could get home.

I've had my leaf for a year now and I love the car. Unfortunately my wife and I are separating and neither one of us can keep the car. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to get rid of it? Should we just bite the bullet and take the loss as a trade in? I'm not sure what type of market there would be for a used electric car if we tried to sell it privately.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
