I Just completed a 160 mile trip. I have owned my leaf for less than two weeks. I had the day off and an apt to be in Raleigh, NC about 70 miles from my house. Luckily the Raleigh NC area probably has the most charging stations in NC. The Nissan dealer in Cary NC also has a quick charge station. Also, I knew I have a new leaf with a fresh battery and the weather would be sunny and mostly in the upper 60's. I charge 100% and took off early so I could take my time just in case. I arrived near my destination with almost 30% of the battery left. Not bad for 70 miles of mostly highway. I was plenty early and there was a charging station a few blocks away at a hospital with two level two chargers. I knew I could make it to the Nissan quick charge about 10 miles away but I wanted to go ahead and try it out. Wouldn't you know another leaf took one spot, which was fine, but the other was iced. The spots were clearly marked green and have signs. I started to pull away but saw some employees and asked about it. They acted like they new who was doing it. Luckily they let me park next to it in a no parking spot. Upon arriving back an hour later I was charged to 62%. I went and ran a few errands and proceeded to the Nissan dealer to charge up and head home. Boy the quick charge was great. I wish we could always charge like that. The only thing was only a minute after I started charging another leaf showed up. They were very nice and told me to take my time. I charged to it started to slow at about 84% or so. I took off as I knew it was enough to get home about 58 miles or so on the warm weather. I had enough charge but thought I would check out another level 2 charger about half way home and the only one between the dealer and my house. Worked great. It was at a library so I browsed inside and charged 30 minutes or so just for fun. Made it home with 30% or so. I drove much faster on the way home. It was a very enjoyable trip. The only problem I see is that as more evs are sold we need to keep adding charging infrastructure or we are going to be fighting each other for them. Especially the quick chargers. My wife and I love the car so far. Its great to go places without worrying about the fuel cost and its just pleasant to drive without a motor even though my car hobby has been fast turbo cars. I still enjoy them but the leaf is refreshing.
