Tempe Auto Nation Nissan now has a QC station in front of their parts dept. The L2 stations are in front of the dealership.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to check it out.

I've been using the QC station at Autonation Tempe every day this week on the way home from work since I'm waiting to get my upgraded trickle charger back from EVSE Upgrade. The Autonation Tempe rep in charge of Leaf sales said the QC will be free for the first couple months and then there will be a fee charged. The employee said the fee should be around $8-$11, but they haven't decided on a final figure.

...EDIT: I forgot to add, the L2 chargers will remain free to use.

Ok... this is totally not Leaf related but is related to Phoenicians.

Anyone watch Kitchen Nightmares? I can't believe I bother watching an ep until earlier this year. The show is usually a total riot.

The ep from this past Friday on Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, AZ was a total train wreck and had an unusual ending, compared to all the other eps. If you have access to the show via Hulu, On Demand or whatever, check it out. I did find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6LY7TJ16pg, but it might get yanked.

There's a thread discussion the ep at http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/sh ... p?t=504278. Apparently, the owners' issues w/people writing negative reviews has been going on way before the ep was filmed. Their behavior pretty much was "the customer is wrong".

On this note, I just posted this in another forum...

Woah... I just realized that Return to Amy's Baking Company is airing now. Luckily I hadn't deleted my season pass (which is recording it now) and its priority was high enough.

I will be watching it soon.

Rare opportunity for someone who wants to join me in rolling the dice. There is apparently a rav4ev w/ 12k miles at Lesueur Motors in Tempe. Service is a gamble, but if you want 150 miles of range, it's the only game in town besides the model S. We have nearly 20k trouble free miles so far. GOM is accurate, and on an 80% charge this morning we had 109 miles.

Wow the RAV4 has a Tesla drive train and battery pack. I will pass this on to our group in the area. That is a rare find and worth a lot. I already have a LEAF and Focus EV with only 80 mile range or I'd jump on it.

I've been noticing Volts are now getting AFV plates. Since when?

I've been noticing Volts are now getting AFV plates. Since when?

Since around 5/21/2014. It's not Alternate Fuel Vehicle plate. It's the Blue Energy Efficient plate. Looks very similar with the cloud stuff, but actually a different type. This is the type for plug-ins.

Here's the link about it. They had 1800 available when they started out. Cost $11.30 to apply. You get a new plate number. 466 have been issued. I'm surprised it hasn't been all snapped up by now.

It's not just for Volt, but for all plug-ins.
