Hi all,
I am a new owner for Nissan Leaf SL and am looking to install a EVSe at my home. I am onto the second day of my ownership and am already had my first running out of charge scare. ( Thats a story for another day ). Here is my current dilemma.
My local couty / Power company is doing a Pilot in which they are offering the following
1. Install a Second Meter + Provide a dedicated Rate for lower overnight charging rates = Free of Cost
2. Purchase a EVSE + Install it = They will pay 50% of the entire cost
I talked to them again today and they told me that my portion of the cost would be $1275-1300 which is 1/2 the cost of the EVSE. The EVSE they are installing is a modified Clipper Creek, which I believe is the HCS -40 or 60, I need to get more details on this.
Here is the FAQ on the product. -

Maryland is now giving us 50% back on the cost of the EVSE ( which finally gets me to the final cost of 650 ).
My question is, is this something which makes financial sense or should I go ahead and find local electricians to go ahead and install the HCS-40/60 at home ?
Please advise.
Thanks,
JB
