My wife and I tried out several different options. We really did think this through pretty completely. The problem is that the Metroplex is so freakishly large. (Larger than the island of Oahu, or a couple of NE States. And 5% is larger than it sounds. It is once ever 20 days. That's only about...

AmarilloLeaf, I hear what you are saying. In DFW a company named EVGo is in the process of building out a L3 charging network. I am close to the situation and can tell you that by the end of this year they will have dozens to installed and operational CHAdeMO chargers. So the Network is coming...

Today is a sad day for me. I canceled my Nissan Leaf order. Years and years ago, I swore that I would not purchase a new car until I could plug it in at night. When the Volt was announced, and subsequently the Leaf, in 2007, I got really excited. The Volt turned out to be priced out of our...

Hey Guys, Be sure to request that "Revenge of the Electric Car" be shown in Dallas. They will choose to show the film based on what cities get the most requests. http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com/index.html

Eh, you say potato, I say potato ...wait a minute, oh forget it.

That would be awesome. And in a world where prices make sense, I would say that's a reasonable price. However, typically companies set their prices about 2x more than what I think would be a fair price. Like I said, I sure don't know where the market will set the price for charging in the...

I don't mean to keep defending the company, if I am defending it, but don't expect to be happy with the pay-per-use charging prices. The way accounting systems like these work is that they NEED you in locked into a contract. That way they can put the entire amount of your 3 years of payments in...

I spoke with a representative of EVgo and he said that you could cancel at any time, and the fee for doing so was $25/month remaining on contract. And if you wanted to keep the charger they would charge you $350 dollars for it at that time. Or, if you sign up again, they will upgrade you to the...

Here is the information I just recieved from EVgo: "Cancelling is easy….no fees up to prior in install…so say you signed up next week and then you cancelled your LEAF…no obligation…Once you have the equipment installed it is $25 per month times the remaining number of months (36 is our...

It's a bet, for sure. They are betting that once people start seeing their Charger everywhere, people will be more likely to consider an electric car and will go to them for their service. Even if another competitor jumps in the fray to compete, EVgo will be able to brag that they have the...

I don't know, I guess I might be. I'm really considering it. I'm also stupid enough to want to make my Leaf my families only car. (We can get away with this since both my wife and I have jobs in close proximity to DART). If we are going to dump gas completely we are going to need Fast Charging...

Mine is ordered from Trophy Nissan in Dallas, with an August expected delivery. When I ordered, there were three ahead of me.

Better yet, think of it as a little pay back from subsidizing the oil industry for so many years.

I don't think you should count them out yet. They are obviously investing a lot of money, and they are not going to let them go to waste. I wouldn't be too surprised if in the next year or so they switch things up and try out some new plans. Their major problem right now is that no one knows...

Really? You pick Abuelo's? How about Half Priced Books? They serve our kind there.

My wife and I just ordered a Leaf! I was so excited -I've never bought a new car before. Felt great until we went to stick the "I QUIT" sticker on our gas tank lid, and found out that it's not actually a sticker. :P It should be here by.... September, maybe?

Dearest other DFW EV aficionados, As embarrassing as it might be to admit, have any of you run out of juice yet? If so, what's the story? Where was it? Who did you call for help, and if it was a tow truck how much did they charge and how did you feel about their service? As embarrassing as...

Sorry to keep this conversation going. First of all, sorry I insulted you, that wasn't my intention, I was just trying to show that it's not as bad of a deal as it might look up front. Second, I doubt you're really paying $.09/kWh. You might think you had signed up for that, but the...

The closest their website seems to get to explaining what happens to the charger after three years seems to be this line from the FAQ page: Q: Can I renew my plan subscription after three years? A: Yes. We'll send reminders beginning six months before your three-year period nears its end. We...

That is the $90 "Smart Choice" plan. From their website: COMPLETE $89 - includes home EV electricity Plan Includes: Installation of your home charging dock and equipment Three-year service agreement Unlimited charging at eVgo network stations Unlimited charging at home charging dock with no...
