Just a few quick comments: at the NC Natural History Museum in Raleigh there's a new L2 Chargepoint parking space right near the 4-story Earth globe: didn't show up on googling but it's there and seems operative [the 6 in the parking garage a block away did appear], and it wasn't ICE'd! BTW, I...

Am I a member of the Turtle Club? You bet your sweet @ss I am! Couldn't pass up an old reference to the Apollo/NASA missions... Just jumping in to say hello and introduce myself. Today I put down a deposit on a 2013 SL that my local dealer (Cary, NC) has on order. Supposedly it will be...

;) Given the striking parallels between ICE cars & Time Magazine [eventual obsolescence), I have to jab back a little... most recent info on Time Magazine: Revenue at the Time Inc. magazine division fell 9% to $858 million, reflecting declines in both subscriptions and advertising...

In their FAQ... "The event location will...two Level 2 charging stations and only one DC Fast Charger to help our guests “top off” their PEVs." If you take the roads that parallel the interstate and do some hypermiling you should be able to get there, BUT you'd need a full charge from the DCFC...

please post the basics at least (asking price/mileage, any special features/problems...)

Hiya tt2007 - my eagle-eyed 8 year-old spotted you before I did! Just haven't been reading MNL as much now that I've settled in to using my car and adjusted everything in it... of course, my wife winds up with it most of the time since she covers more miles most days, so I get stuck with the...

Answer: F Greensboro NC [7.8cents/ kWh]

"You probably shouldn't get a leaf if that's how you feel " You STILL don't get the point! We ALL need a backup plan; for now it should include using + giving out the Courtesy Charging Protocol [see earlier link] and more advocacy/less whining - get out to some of the regional NC meetings...

And we all saw the same movie/same day... spooky!

My first Greensboro LEAF in the wild! I expected to see tt2007 in the new silver one, but instead saw my car's twin at the Avengers movie parking lot this afternoon [mid-life crisis red] - a friendly foursome coming out of the same movie... Very cool!

ROTFL!! What a great reminder of last century's technology. Love it!!

Revenge of the Electric Car For those unable to attend the screening, it is apparently being shown on UNC-TV this week! Per the Greensboro newspaper, Thursday 4/19 at 2200 Per the UNC-TV website [not the easiest to work with] also a showing Friday 4/20 at 0200...

You'll love it! Just out of curiosity, PM me about the Crown issue since I'm going there next week for the software upgrade (I bought at Modern in W-S since they were LEAF certified before Crown, and I wanted to purchase before the end of the tax year - plan on most servicing at Modern since we...

WOW, lpickup, I thought I took good notes but your summary is great: little I can add. As I thought, it was helpful to contribute as an EV driver to a group that is establishing the ground floor for PEVs NC. While there was only one other private EV owner there (owns a battery powered...

While my time is very valuable, I've been doing most of these surveys since there are so few EV drivers out there (especially away from the West Coast) that my responses carry MUCH more weight than in most surveys...

I hope many of our NC Leaf (and other EV) owners will participate in this State-Wide taskforce! If enough actual EV owners are involved we might actually get some quick chargers instead of all these L2 units... To: NCPlan mailing list....registration is open for the NC PEV Taskforce quarterly...

I signed up!

rah, Rah, R.A.H! So far I've been lucky, those who've asked about the LEAF (in red-state Nawth By Gawd Carolina) have only positive things to say, or just interested questions about range, cost per mile, and cost of the car. Given that electricity is 8 cents a kilowatt-hour here [with...

...It is a fact that only 8% of the driving public has a one-way commute of 35 miles or longer... Then L2 at work covers them even up to a 70mile commute since you stay at work ~7-10hrs... I like the talking point a few pages back: we need L2 at destinations, and L3 to get us there
