As I stated earlier I am new and I live in N.C. I received a phone call yesterday from Progress Energy of North Carolina. They called to say that because I had ordered the Leaf I am eligible for a FREE in home charger valued at $1,500 dollars. The only thing I had to do was fill out some questions on-line and I would be put on a list for eligibility. I was given the web site and all was fine, I answered all the questions and provided information requested. I then hit the enter or submit key and it was then and only then that I was informed my Town was not within this energy companies zone. I along with all of my county are part of another power company all together. I have NO idea how the guy who called me didn't know this. I figured he was from the power company, obviously not. Anyway I called MY power company and they offer NO incentives for electric vehicles, in fact the ENTIRE state offers no incentives what so ever. We are however exempt from vehicle inspections with all electric cars. People wonder why sales are low, look no further than your state, local or federal government. Let's not forget the oil companies and all there subsidiaries.......... One other little thing, we aren't going as green as we think with electric cars, after all, more electric means more power plants, more power plants means more oil or coal fired plants................hmmm
