As I've never received any email from Nissan, how far along in the process am I? Should I expect delivery soon? For those that have their Leafs, at what point in the process were you allowed to setup CarWings? I'm excited and hoping I'm close to driving a Leaf!
jj50 said:So Tony Nissan has a few "extra" Leafs on their lot. Apparently, there were extra cars on the last shipment (so these aren't orphaned). Anyway, they are for sale! The only thing is that the markup is $3000 over MSRP! So for a 2011 SL with DC quick charger, they want $37,400. Is this outrageous? Or should I just be happy that the car is available and put my money down?

Haven't done anything yet, but I'm probably going with this solution (http://www.evseupgrade.com) and skip the electrician all together.
What did AV quote you?
I have the AV level 2 charger but I also got the EVSE upgrade. I got one of the early ones that is limited to 12 amps but they now can do 16 amps and will probably upgrade to the 16 amp version but this is not urgent since it is really just a backup. It works fine and I probably would have done that instead of the AV one if it had been available at the time. The AV installation was a little over $2,200 but I was able to get the State of Hawaii Rebate of $500 and a federal tax credit of $1,100 (which is now limited to $1,000). I wouldn't have done it without the tax credit and rebate but I figured $700 net cost wasn't too bad. PM me if you want to try the EVSE upgrade.
Wow, 1,501 leafs or leaves in Hawaii...I have seen quite a few since my purchase this past Friday. I expect that number to grow into the tens of thousands once the supply catches up with demand. There might well be over 100k in a few years!dpodoll said:Just got our EV plates. Number 1501. Are there really 1,501 EVs in Hawaii?
State data says there were 357 registered electric passenger vehicles in Hawaii as of July, up from 339 in June and 166 in July of 2010. That's compared to 8,264 passenger diesels, 10,085 passenger hybrids and 949,989 passenger gasoline vehicles in July 2011.

I don't think the license number directly relates to the number of electric vehicles on island.
