bigdogldr said:It is becoming increasing clear that Nissan appears to be as clueless about getting the infrastructure in place as the idiots in Washington are about the debt issues. After talking to 4 different departments within Nissan, I got 4 different answers about how to update charging stations, etc. As was previously noted, the Carwings only get updated quarterly. The website leafcharging stations.com is attempting to provide the most current information but, this site has inaccuracies; specifically, Southern California Costco's that have the old EV charging stations installed have not been converted yet. There has been a lot conversations that these units would be the first ones to be converted but that is not the case. In talking with the local Costco manager, they have no idea when this will happen and/or who the vendor will be to make the switch over, i.e. Blink, ChargePoint, etc.
Bottomline: the Nissan Leaf has to remain in a 30 mile radius of your home and even closer if you drive on the freeway at speeds in excess of 60 mph.
Agreed. All we get on the onboard charge locations map are Nissan locations. The lack of comprehensive info on charge station locations is a MAJOR disappointment with Nissan and Carwings. Other info is also needed, e.g., level 1/2/3, connector, fees, access, etc. We found one charge station in San Francisco via Google - but it had some kind of paddle connector - they thought it was for a Honda or Prius. A couple of SF locations are at hotel garages - figure $40/50 per day to park there!
Nissan - HELP!?
