    DFW Metroplex

    John: When we leased our Model S 2 years ago, we were contacted by the EVgo folks (http://www.nrgevgo.com) about a home unit. The rep was VERY honest and patient with our questions. He said that NRG use licensed certified folks to install and they offered to upgrade our fusebox (which is 50+...

    Last week I visited North Central Ford, immediately South of Campbell on the south side (west side) Of Central Expressway in Richardson. There are TWO Level two chargers on the building marked North Central Ford Service. There is a third Level two charger inside of the Service Bay. Enjoy Life.

    We received an email from Nissan saying that over 30,000 Leaf's have been sold in the U.S., and "have you seen more Leafs on the road?". YES!! On Saturday morning, I saw a charcoal Leaf driving north on Preston near St. Mark's school. Yesterday, we stopped at the Walgreen's at Montfort and Belt...

    DFW Metroplex

    We visited there today, and it is WONDERFUL! There is one high speed charger and several (2 or 3) slow speed (Level 2) chargers. Your directions are exact. We are not familiar with this mall, so for others like us.....Grapevine Mills Pkwy. crosses over Hwy. 121 just north of the North exit of...

    Pipcecil: I've posted this theory before, and I sez it AGAIN! There are a LOT more Leafs on the road in Dallas! Recall that I tried to charge at the EvGo at Belt Line and Montfort? Someone was there before me. Two nights ago, I tried to charge at the EvGo on Mockingbird, just east of...

    An interesting drive story....... We drove our Leaf from Dallas to Denton (down I-35E) and back thru Little Elm (charged at the EvGo fast charge), up the Dallas North Tollway to downtown Dallas, up Central Expressway to Mockingbird & Greenville for a 2nd fast charge at the EvGo) and then to...

    I suggest letting our local TV news folks know about this reunion. They may want to send a camera crew. It will be great to put a face with the names on this page! :P We plan to be there in our LEAF. I can't wait to give Robert (our salesman) grief...........we have great fun whenever we meet...

    For our group and plug-ins, I received an email from Leaf........ https://driveelectricweek.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; In the past, does our group do anything for what used to be called National Plug In Day?? I don't mind assisting in organizing something around North...

    This is DEFINITELY stretching "DFW Metroplex", but I hope that it covers Hillsboro. There are two Blink chargers at the Outlet Mall on I-35E South, heading towards Waco. If you exit on Texas Hwy. 171 (this is Outlet Mall exit), turn left on the overpass over I-35, and left again to proceed...

    I have been to Mordor and back. Yesterday we visited St. Mark's of Texas. The TWO Blink chargers are where I described: one faces East and one face West. There are reserved parking for each. I asked the security guard whether the chargers were open to the public. He said that he thought so...

    The charging station on the premises of St. Mark's of Texas (just off of Preston, south of Royal Lane) has what appears to be a Blink charger. The sign says "BLINK", there was a long black hose/chord, and a charger. After I cut the barbed wire, and fed the guard dog, the charger was open EXCEPT...

    The saga continues - - D'OH! I got the new App "chargecar" from the Apple Store, and Lo and Behold there was a Blink charger on the campus of St. Marks School. So we drove over to find it, and no problem. As you drive in the main driveway from Preston Road (at the traffic light), go straight...

    Thanks to all who keep this group active and for posting charging locations. Today AGAIN I went from Dallas to Denton, but this time I had my oldest brother and his wife in the Leaf. Keeping my speed at 60 mph, and running the air conditioning, we made it to Triangle Mall with 53% (started at...

    Just an update. We drove by city hall in Farmers Branch (just off I-35) and as our board leader noted, there are 3 charging stations AND reserved parking spaces for charging. The stations are free for the public.
