Congrats Stacey, I hope you enjoy your new car as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your LEAF. I hope that you leased and did not buy.

I have thought about going. I'm guessing there is no public charging available there?

There are Blinks in the parking lot (they aren't free).
Hopefully somebody in that part of town can find out before the date. I wouldn't want to make the trip from Ft.Worth without knowing I can charge. An alternative might be that I could drive to somebody's home that lives nearby and plug in, then carpool with that person to the event.Pipcecil said:About a few months ago, the 2 public Blink chargers at Fair Park (lot 5B) were changed to restricted. Restricted can be many things, but I have to assume they are limited in some fashion (behind a gate, ticket to get in, employee only, etc.) .

It would be cool to make the trip and do a documentary about it.
Actually, I thought about that. If I did such a video I'd just make sure to mention up front that the car isn't designed for this, and that quick charging stations would make this trip more tolerable, but wanted to show that nevertheless it could be done with current infrastructure.mkjayakumar said:It just gives more bad press for EVs in general and Leafs in particular that they take 10 hours to get somewhere that an ICE can do it in 3 hours. Leafs are an in town/errand/commute vehicle and they are great for that purpose. Lets leave it at that.
Can you make the color black?vrwl said:I'd want a clear color differentiation for the restricted access chargers so I can easily see them on the map.
