I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but for the few of us in B.C. who took delivery of a Leaf prior to December 1: the CEV for BC program will now provide you with a rebate. I got a cheque from the dealer yesterday. From http://www.cevforbc.ca/faq"...

Not yet. I have never signed up on Facebook. I kind of wanted to avoid that. :-) But I would like to see the letter and probably sign up to it.

Great news for those in BC who haven't bought their car yet! For those who signed up early enough to buy the car already, it's a little bit frustrating. It seems unfair for someone to be paid $5000 simply because they were on the waiting list with Nissan one month longer. And what about sales...

Congratulations! I'll bet your car left on its way to the dealer at the same time as mine, but of course having to take the ferry to Victoria means mine arrived later! I picked mine up today (couldn't pick it up during the week). First impressions: Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, this is so...

I called the dealer as I was a little concerned about the delivery status on the web changing today from "At VANCOUVER port" to "not available". I was hoping the reason was that the car had arrived at the dealer, and indeed it has. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow. I'll be the first...

Hi "myev". I saved the text of the "NISSAN LEAF™ TELEMATICS SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES AGREEMENT". It says: Presumably the purchase date is the date that you actually get the car.

Congratulations! So, will you be the first customer in Quebec? A few thousand km away: I checked the web site this morning for the status of my order and it says "At VANCOUVER port". This would suggest that the cars have been sitting there, it was just a matter of matching orders to...

Ok, now I'm almost a believer: when being asked to sign up for CARWINGS, they show you the VIN! (And it makes sense, it starts with JN1AZ0CP0BT: J means Japan, N means Nissan, not sure about the next bits, the B means it's a 2011 model, and T means Oppama)

Just an update/data point for all of you tracking Canadian deliveries: Shortly after getting the email allowing me to request a quote, I went into the dealer to have them appraise the 2010 Toyota Prius I'll be trading in. Yes, I'm trading in the Prius because it burns too much fuel. (If they...

I filled it out within an hour. It now says "waiting for price".

Woohoo! I just got my "You can now request a quote" email.

That's the one I'd pick. Reading the discussion on the Aerovironment installations leads me to think it would be best to try an alternative, installed by a local electrician. I haven't started on that yet. L1 would probably work fine for me. Schneider EVSE discussion...

There seems to be a lot of confusion out there. Again, I hope you're right, but I really have my doubts. My confirmation email said "Reserved on : 27-Aug-2011 11:47", which is bizarre because that doesn't make sense in any time zone that I can think of. They definitely have charged my credit...

That's good to hear! Thanks again for your posts.

I got the same thing (via Purolator). I was hoping it would tell me something useful, but... no. I wish they'd stop marketing the thing to me, I'm already sold. :D
