I figured I would call Nissan and AV and see if my "dashboard" could have the flag set for the "Home Assesment Waiver", which Nissan did... then I called AV, and, because they are not doing home assements in my area yet, there doesn't seem to be a way for them to enable me to buy the AV EVSE "cash & carry".
So the guy from AV worked on it a a wile, and finally called me back. He tells me they have to "involve IT" (sounds bad, doesn't it?), and they will see if they can program a way around this, so that those of us who are still very far away from ordering their Leafs, could possibly still get an AV EVSE cash & carry.
Since IT is out this week, it won't be in 2010, but it will probably be resolved in 2011, and I guess a %30 2011 Federal Tax credit is better than maybe no credit in 2012 possibly (who nows what or if their will be a credit in 2012, when most of our cars would be comming in)
I will update this thread when I hear back from AV, to see if they can get this done. The AV EVSE @ about $800 is still one of the lowest cost units availble. Clipper Creek is too pricey @ $2300, ChargePoint CT-500 is over $2,000, Ecotality, well that's for people in the EV project, doubt they even have a way to "sell one" to you, and as for Leviton/Schnieder Electric (SquareD), those are not availble yet, and even in early 2011, Leviton will only have the 16AMP model availble.... sorry, if I am going to spend any money in advance, I want at least a 7.2KW (30A) EVSE
