I'm a blink member and get their emails in Seattle, and received nothing on change in plans. Dave, do you know if the Tahoma Mall QC is charging yet, by chance? Plan to hit it up tomorrow on the way to Longbranch WA.

Thanks Dave. While Longbranch is actually about 15 miles beyond GH, I'm not concerned about making it there. Mainly getting back without having to wait for a level 2 charge along the way, as I'll have other (less patient!) passengers with me. :) If I've got reliable QC boost options, that...

Am hoping to drive from Capitol Hill in Seattle to in-laws at Longbranch, WA near Gig Harbor first week in July. Are there any working QC stations at Nissan dealerships near Tacoma? Or does the Tahoma Market in Fife remain the only one? Am wondering what availability there is like to. TIA...

Pardon my ignorance, but does this mod have any benefit beyond the cosmetic? The web site bills it as protecting the finish. Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

Wow, what terrific answers, Tony and Bill! I really appreciate it. Tony, I'll follow up more when I get a chance to study your exceptionally helpful and detailed post. :)

Advice please? I'm trying to figure out if (and perhaps when, given new QCs scheduled for launch) a trip from Seattle WA 98112 to Cannon Beach OR 97110 might be feasible within 6-8 hour commute time? I think the key in my proposed travel plan will be the QC in Fife soon to be online (I've...

Thank you Levenkay, signed up. :) One more related PNW Leaf newbie question: what is the best map/app to use that covers all of the available charging stations? TIA

One other question. I'm little confused by which charging networks are worth subscribing to. I signed up for blink, largely because of the nice free DC QC stations at the Seattle Harvard Market. But what others do you pros think are worth getting (and in many cases paying up for) in the...

No Bill, you had it right.

Now I gotcha Dave, thanks for explaining. Were it just me, i think that would have been a great plan--if it really is only about 6 miles (I thought more like 20?). With the ladies, that would have been a tougher sell. I sure appreciate your and other NW posters' keeping us up to date on QC...

Bill, really helpful reply, thank you! Hadn't seen that chart, that's consistent with what we observed. Dave, Tumwater is a ways in the wrong direction (we were headed north), is it not?

Thanks for the replies, Bill and Dave! Just to follow up: Ended up doing a level 1 charge at in-laws at request of the rest of the family. Problem was that we only stayed 2 hrs. I thought we'd still be fine, as we left home with a full charge (100 mile readout on eco mode). But turns out...

Hi ebill3 (and all), Any updates on this? We're making a trip to the in-laws today to Puyallup from Seattle (North Capital Hill), and I'm trying to convince family to use the Leaf. They're balking from range/convenience anxiety (I know, I know). Address we're heading to is 6000 block of 81st...

I apologize for neglecting this thread for so long! Bottom line is that it appears the 12v battery was badly drained because the power button wasn't actually shut off. After some driving and another recharge, everything went 100% back to normal, and we've had no problems since. Thanks very...

Same question here. My wife, our primary leaf driver, works for DOL at the 5th and Yestler building here in Seattle, and her preliminary inquiries have gotten her nowhere.
