Easy,,,QC When I got my Leaf, they tried to sell me the Nav. I looked at the salesguy, The car has a 80 range, I know where I'm going in that kind of range. If not I have Stand Alone GPS (in the ICE Car) , and an App on my phone. If your job is like in sales, delivery, where you are...

I vote No L2 @ Home, Keep charging @ work. We have 2 L2 @ work, and ~4-5 EV's Three Full time 5 days a week, 1 3days a week (Night Shift). I live/work few miles from work also, so I don't need to charge every day, If we have 4 EV during the day we do the noon parking space shuffle. We...

$8.00 You pay for as long as you are plugged in, so 4hours x $2 = $8.00 Since charger are a limited, you should move your car as soon as it done, Your car being there is preventing another car from plugging in, and the charger owner to make money by charging the 2nd car, if they stopped...

I did not keep XM past the trial period. But One of my credit cards has a service call shopsafe, (its a MasterCard product) but Visa has a similar product also. It give you a Limited use card where you can set the credit limit, and how long its good for, and you can turn it off at anytime...

With two EVSE's and Two spaces, (not the "best" space in the lot but good ones), We can work it out when there are 3 EV's during the day. Its a small office, just our company in the building. Apx 100 People. We have had a two or three cars from other office buildings near by show up and use...

Unfortunately it going to need to be Tow. With a 1:1 space to charger. Giving them a ticket does you no good, you still can't charge. Odds are you probably are not going to be able to charge there anyway. You have to get the owner/manager of the lot to call for a the tow. Then wait for the...

I went to Lowes earlier today and counted 12 Leafs, of which only 1 had it's lights on That was me... I actually Remember to turn them on that time..... Our ICE (Gas) car has running lights, so they are always on so don't have to worry about it.

A post on the Leaf/EV South Facebook page, indicated that the Space the Free Chargers are at have been leased, so the free charging will be gone soon. The L2 & the new L3 in the parking deck is the soon to be the main option there.

QC's... Guess we'll find out soon. Two QC have been put in on/in the parking deck, They are not on yet (last i checked). They will be charge units. So well see how they do, If i'm outside my range, I'm willing to pay to get easy access to charge / QC then hang around waiting hours for a...

A two headed J1772 "octopus" (With a future unit expandable to 4 heads), Set-able Start Time for Off-Peak rates, with a time limit per head and/or auto switch to 2nd head (3rd 4th) after Car stops charging, or time limit specified has elapsed. Optional End of Off-Peak Rate turn off at end of...

There are not alot of public Charging Stations In/Around Forsyth. So I would plan in getting a L2 for your garage.

I would do Store Paid Charging the way they use to handle store Paid parking lots, You charge for the Charge, say $1/Hr for L2. (and $5/hr after x (3?) hours), but anyone that comes in to your store/restaurant, Somehow you set it up so you can scan there ChargePoint Card, and they get a 1...

At Work, when they put in the L2's Suggest they put them so the two J1772 can reach 4 spaces. So two can charge in the AM, and two in the PM with out having to move the cars. Some EV'ers Do 4 cars per J1772 per Day in 3-4 hour shifts. With Noon Time Car movements. Atlantic Station has a...

I like the Lease Turn Around Idea. Check to see if there is a Lease Buyout Termination penalty, You might need to lease if for some length of time to avoid it. The Cost of Funds (Money Factor) is so low now, it would not add much to your lease cost. If it was me, I'd Lease it for the two...
