It is different here in the UK. ALL Leaf dealers are required by Nissan to have a Level 3 charger and they are also obliged to allow any Leaf owners to charge.
There are currently 26 Leaf dealers here in the UK mainland (27 if you include Northern Ireland). This sounds good but they are only available when the dealer is open so it isn't as good as it needs to be.
Nissan UK have said publicly that they expect ALL UK Nissan dealers to be Leaf dealers by 2013 and for them all to have L3 chargers. Still not ideal as they will still only be available when the dealer is open but it would then mean that we have some kind of National L3 charging network in business hours.
I imagine that charging at dealers will become less and less necessary as publicly available chargers get installed. Eventually we will only need to charge at dealers when getting our cars serviced or repaired. It will take a few years but I am convinced it will happen.
