As at least some of you know we now have the first CHAdeMO in Florida up and running here in Ocala. Pearson Nissan on SR 200. I've got pictures that I'll try to post a little later. Anyway, I was down there just a little while ago; pulled in with LBW lit up and 5 miles showing on the GoM. 26 minutes a some seconds later I had a 90% charge. Gotta love that
However, the astonishing news: We are apparently getting a second one. As I was getting ready to leave, a guy wearing a Nissan shirt, but driving a Prius Hybrid told me that Pearson Nissan has come to a deal with the city to put in a DCQC at the downtown square.
He also said that there is another DCQC in Orlando at one of the Nissan dealers that has just finished building new facilities. I told him that nobody knows about that one, and he said he was pretty sure it was operational. So now I guess we need the Orlando people to start checking around and letting us know.
Then he added that they were putting in a charging station at one of our Publix stores, but didn't say which one. He did nod towards the west so he may have meant the Publix store just west of the Mall. I got the impression from him that Nissan is pretty aggressive when it comes to improving the charging situation. Unfortunately I did not get his name. I will try to get in touch with him again though, as I need to get confirmations on all this.
Anyway, this is all great news and even greater if the Orlando DCQC is a reality. So, can somebody please check this for us?
