Congrats! You are going to love it! I was down at Gillman Tues night charging up. Beautiful dealership and even better people. A real quality operation. Tell Pete Harvey (GM) that Jimmy says Hi. I'll be looking for you on CARWINGS.

Well, all the arrangements and planning have been made, we're off in the morning to Corpus Christi for Spring Break in the LEAF! And we're going to try to do it in one day. We'll be stopping at Nissan dealerships in Rosenberg (Gillman), Victoria and finally Corpus (Ed Hicks). The last 2 legs are...

I think that short list of 5 people was probably Texas-wide not just Houston, but I could be wrong. Either way your point is accurate. At the end of January I read an article from a Japanese newspaper that said factory production was ramping up to 2000 units/month, so that tells me there's a...

I'll let you pick the place then! you can get my email address here: http://scr.im/bluemoose and we can set it up. If anyone else is regularly in downtown houston, let us know.

hahaha! You got me! Good job spotting it in the deck. I'm guessing you work downtown? Let me know if you want to go to lunch sometime and talk EVs. There are no plans to have EVSEs in that garage yet and I have asked for use of a 120V but have had a hard time getting responses from the...

Well, LEAFfan, here is what I found. Using 2 different Android GPS apps (SpeedView and My Tracks), I verified that all 3 were within 0.1 miles over the course of a 40+ mile trip, so it appears the odometer is dead on. The speedometer was another story. The 2 phone apps agreed completely with...

great question! I was wondering that myself this morning as I was battling 35+ mph headwinds and watching my battery meter sink. It felt a little off but was probably the wind. It didn't occur to me at the time that I could check it against my smartphone speedometer. I will do that this...

No. I didn't hear any specific numbers, just general goals and expectations. Like they are still shooting for all the initial orders to be delivered by summer and start taking new orders in the Fall. Also, specific to Texas, that the other deliveries should begin about 60 days from the first...

Great to meet another eVgo member. You were in there before I was! I heard there is going to be a get-together in the near future for the initial eVgo signees who I believe they're calling "Founders". I hope to meet you there. Great move on the QC, I'm glad that let you make the adjustment. I...

No, I went with eVgo. As I investigated more into the positives that they bring to the table it really became an easy decision. I think everyone here knows the obvious benefits (if not check out https://www.evgonetwork.com/). But the one that kept growing in my mind is the vast potential of...

Hey guys! I know things aren't moving along as fast as we would like right now (i want you all out there with me, trust me, being the only one on the road has it's downsides), but in the grand scheme of things most of you are just moments away from your own personal automotive revolution. And...

Hey guys! Sorry for the radio silence, but there was good reason for it. I am the unbelievably fortunate one who got the LEAF yesterday. It all still seems completely surreal, but I can't wait to share some of what has happened and my experiences going forward. Details to come... caffeinekid, I...

Maybe I have been living in a cave, but did anyone else know that the EV Project is installing "free" EVSEs in Houston? When I originally did my research mid to late 2010 they were only available in the initial round of states and I remember entering my location in some lookup tool and learning...

Thanks! Good to be here. One of the most frustrating parts of the deal is that they will give absolutely no details on the price breakdown. No matter how much I beg. I can guess though. And you obviously have significant experience with this or you're psychic because you're right on: distance...

Hopefully there's room for one more?! I'm in Seabrook and got my order in on Oct 21st. However, I am still wrangling with AV over my EVSE quote of almost $5500. Yes, that is not a misprint. Everyone I've talked to over there says, "That's the highest I've ever seen!" And I say "Thanks, is...
