UPDATE:trentr said:I asked that some folks got denied without taking the survey. She said the reason is because these folks have contacted AV or did an assessment with them. She said that the system will automatically deny them of the survey. Apparently, Nissan is going through one by one enabling the survey manually if you didn't deal with AV.
Wow! Thanks for that. Surprising that ECOTotality, etc. can't just say we don't have our act together and we're sending out false eligibility decisons - we'll ge tback to you in a couple days, and then actually do it! I'm REALLY glad we have each other here on the forums. Could you imagine if we just believe everytime some organization or rep in this process says no or that $2200 is a bargain to install an EV charger?trentr said:I got a call from a lady at Nissan( private caller ID). She said that my application/survey is under review by eTec and will contact me in about 1-2 weeks. Also, since I got the survey it means that I'm in the zip code that is being considered for this project( makes sense). I asked that some folks got denied without taking the survey. She said the reason is because these folks have contacted AV or did an assessment with them. She said that the system will automatically deny them of the survey. Apparently, Nissan is going through one by one enabling the survey manually if you didn't deal with AV. She also said that they are going through the list and calling people one by one. I'm not sure if that list includes people who did not take the survey. I had to end the call.
Turbo3 said:I too was one of those who paid AV $100 for the assessment but never ordered the charger due to the high install cost and low function of the AV charger. After calling Nissan yesterday they asked some questions (Yes I ordered the DC Quick Charger option) and was told they would put my name in for the eTEC charger and I would be contacted by the EV Project.
However, like a lot of others my Dashboard updated last night to the You Don't Qualify for eTEC message.
All of that changed a little while ago when I checked my Dashboard and it had changed to have the Questionnaire option.
I have just finished the Residential Prospect Questionnaire and my Dashboard now says "eTEC application pending*".
I am very happy now.
My zip is 95120 which is South San Jose and my delivery date is April 2011.
Yeah, I'll have to play it by ear. If there's a significant chance that the funds will dry up on me, I won't purchase. Hopefully, it won't one of those too-close-to-call situations.csriram45 said:Remember you can no longer request the rebate before picking up. What if there are funds available when you pick up but by the time they can issue u a cheque they run out. In such a scenario you can not walk away. Just a thought.
Ready2plugin said:For those of us that have received the car, I just got done chatting with Nissan. According to Nissan, there is no way to get in the EV Project once the car has been delivered. I guess the next best thing is to still try to get the $700 rebate from BAAQMD.
Unfortunately, BAAQMD has not yet updated their website ( to the best of my knowledge,) but here's a link to the CCSE page telling a little about the EV Program in the Bay Area: http://tinyurl.com/4av56yvmxp said:Ready2plugin said:For those of us that have received the car, I just got done chatting with Nissan.

Ready2plugin,
Can you send the linky to the BAAQMD webpage that describes the $700 rebate in detail? For some reason, I checked most of the webpages there and cannot find the details of this $700 rebate. Any help is appreciated - Thanks!

ElectricVehicle said:Seems like 48 hours is pretty typical for the update, when it goes through. It took that long for me, and there was an earlier post about it taking 48 hours for someone else.
