One can build the 2015 LEAF on the Nissan/LEAF web page.
I just noticed that one can no longer build an SV with both the LED Headlights and Quick Charge Port Package and the Premium Package and that the SL still has only a black interior!

That is bad news for me because I want a light interior to keep the car cool and I want the Around-View monitor; I cannot get both!

Do you actually have a QC station in your area? If not and if one isn't coming soon, I suggest you choose the Premium Package and forgo the QC package.

One local Nissan dealer here in Rochester, NY (Hoselton) has two Leafs, both S trim level, and both with the $1,700+ QC option. The problem is, there's not a QC station anywhere close -- the nearest one is about 200 miles away, according to [http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations/]. So why in the world would Nissan send these cars to a dealer here??? I hope this isn't a sneaky way of increasing the price while claiming a lower one for the S level. (I'm assuming that the upgrade to the QC hardware and software in a Leafs costs a small fraction of that $1,700. I'd be shocked if it cost more than a couple of hundred dollars, even with the LED headlamps thrown in.)

The QC package is not just the Quick Charge port, it's also the 6.6 kW charger option also.

I'd suggest you use http://www.plugshare.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to find charging stations, including CHAdeMO DC FCs instead. I've found that http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is often outdated.
 
Upstate NY is a DCFC desert. I got an SV with no QC for less, in part because people still get sold on the QC idea, even with no QC station in the region.
