So the Quick Charge port is useless right now. The L2 stations only add about 3 to 4 miles of range per 30 min, not practical unless you happen to work a Walgreens or Nissan dealership or next door to one.
Why do the Nissan dealers only have L2 chargers? If they really wanted to support the Leaf owners they should have L3 chargers, for pay not free. The Nissan corp should work out a deal with one of the L3 network providers like Chargepoint, Blink or EVgo to get them installed at the dealerships. This could be a dealership revenue stream.
FYI Tesla also does not have any L3 Supercharger stations in Denver metro or Boulder. They have one in Summit Co and Glenwood, I guess they felt the need to support the Aspen to DIA commute?
they need the L2's to charge their dealer stock. lately Nissan has had a flurry of installs in Western WA and it would appear its semi based on sales volume. This area ranks anywhere from #1 to 3 generally in sales and most of the higher volume dealers have had one installed, about 4 VERY recently
So, guessing your dealers are not selling enough maybe? either way, i posted in another thread that Nissan did ZERO publicity on these recent installs so you might want to take another survey of dealers in the area
I think that this post is pretty old.
I actually drove by Boulder Nissan today and noticed that they have installed their L3 QC on the pad... the charger itself is still wrapped in plastic, but I think we are close to being able to announce another one.
