    Hi folks, 1222 miles and counting. Thinking of a trip into the city Monday. Found many parking garages with Chargepoint Level 2 equipment. Has anyone used them? My open questions (given it's 64 miles one way....) 1) Can't reserve - what's chances of both being in use all day? Backup plan is...

    Hi folks, Been so busy driving my new Leaf I forgot to post anything. I absolutely *** LOVE *** it. It's VERY quiet, smooth and responsive. I'm even more thrilled with the 'bells and whistles' it came with like a Nav system and Bluetooth given I haven't bought a car since 2000. I have...

    I talked with Diane today. She was very helpful and friendly, some additional info: *** Tesla Roadster & Nissan Leaf do * not * require the "electric vehicle affirmation" form 'cause they're manufactured new as 100% electrics. *** If you want it, PM me, I'll send it to you as Diane was...

    I think the electric vehicle plates option for Illinois is dead / over. Consider this record of the 97th general assembly @ http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1866&GAID=10&DocTypeID=SB&SessionID=76" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; "Removes the requirement that...

    One more thought as I ride the high of now having a delivery date. I did some digging on Illinois "electric vehicle" plates. My dealer, of course, hasn't heard of them. I found a current pub that lists them as one of the many plates Illinois issues...

    Yes. -16617 delivery date still says "month of December, 2011" I think I'd be January based on when I ordered but I reserved very early so maybe that helps. Or, maybe, they're using different VIN series for SL versus SV?
