Thanks, Phil and Mike...great to see the pictures. I will be ready for our visit there.

If someone wants to accompany me tomorrow around noonish (11a-1p) I would like to get that life-sized icon on the NAV map

I haven't seen anything written about that. It's a guess, but I'm leaning towards, 'it's not likely possible' imo.mogur said:Anyone know how to add a charging station to the nav WITHOUT having to visit it? I wanted to add the Mitsu QC but can't figure out a way to do so...
C'mon Phil . . . you forgot the most important thing about the experience . . . actually being able to see the charge gauge MOVING ... ever closer to full ... even as you watch it ... the RUSH of charging up at warp 9 . . . . like a syringe full of ice cold Propofol coursing through the caroted artery ... heading for the cerebral cortex. I'm starting to sweat ... just thinking about it ... ok - I am way too easily entertained.Boomer23 said:Mwalsh had the great idea of having the two of us coordinate our visit this afternoon to try to inconvenience the nice Mitsubishi people as little as possible. We got there about 2 pm. We parked in visitor parking near the solar canopy, but not underneath it, and went into the main lobby. We asked the receptionist if we could please use the Quick Charger.
She called the key master, Ida, and we also asked her to let Moe Durand, Manager of Product Communications, know that we were here. Moe and Ida walked us out to the Quick Charger, and Moe stayed with us for most of our visit, chatting about our cars, about charging and about their coming introduction of the Mitsubishi i.
The whole experience was very friendly and pleasant. At one point, one of Mitsubishi's web masters, I think his name was Ryan, joined us and took pictures for their Facebook page (link above in mwalsh's post). While mwalsh was charging, I gave Ryan a drive in my LEAF. He was impressed with the torque and feature level of the LEAF. ..................snip

Are the Mitsu folks GREAT? . . . or what? btw ... GREAT photos. Loved the extra shots of the station. I was too high / tunnel vision to notice those screens at the time.

Z0ner, are you going to go? Gonna add you to the reservation schedule and text the guys at Mitusbishi to expect you, if you are.
z0ner said:Based on our PM I'm going to team up with 91740 and get there at 2:00pm.
The unit is capable of a maximum of 480V DC. It doesn't matter what the input voltage is, as it's AC and has to be rectified to DC voltage. Charge voltage (and current) is controlled by the car. The voltage you are seeing is essentially the voltage of the battery pack as it charges. That's why you'll see the voltage climb as you charge while the current drops. If you actually saw 480V on a LEAF you should be very worried about the health of your battery pack!mwalsh said:I think we've all been expecting 480v from these units. But after a bit of research on the Internets, I now realize that 3-phase industrial power is actually 400v, and sure enough we're just shy of that for each of our chargings.

Well, new charging stations appear periodically as Nissan updates their database and downloads to my Leaf. Anyone willing to put odds on Nissan adding the Mitsubishi HQ station to their database? :lol:mogur said:I guess the answer is that you can't...

EricH said:Related question: Would Nissan use a different map icon to indicate QC stations vs. L2 stations? I'd sure like to be able to tell one from the other if planning a long trip...
