Wow, I'm off the forum for a month and things just explode :) I am very happy that Ocala is no longer the only city with a CHAdeMO DCQC installed. Let's hope for many more. Otto

Plugshare says there is a quick charge station at Southerlin Nissan, 8125 E Colonial Dr. Orlando FL 32817. Can anybody confirm that?

Can anybody confirm this?

In my opinion the $18k price for the LEAF battery and the $36k price for the RAV4 battery are just numbers pulled out of somebody's behind. However, to get any kind of idea about the real price a good starting point will be to determine the cost of the raw materials that goes into these...

Ah, I see. That I can agree with.

Judging by the traffic in this thread, I don't think there is much point in splitting it up. And to the best of my knowledge, there is still only one DCQC in Florida, having heard nothing from Orlando or Punta Gorda.

Look here: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=12460" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I don't think the listing is legit, but I don't know that for sure yet.

14 months, 15025 miles, all 12 bars.

From the report: "In their view, they believe that the EV market will peak at 4.3 percent of the passenger car market in 2020 and then fall to about 3 percent in 2024." Why do they think the EV share will drop between 2020 and 2024? To me that makes no sense, but maybe they know something I don't.

I have no idea. I found out about the one here in Ocala more or less by accident, and ended up getting more info from Greg because he stopped by while I was using it. I've been trying to find out if there are any others around ever since, but so far no luck. The DCQC here in Ocala still seems...

I finally got to speak with Ivo at Pearson Nissan, and he confirmed what I had been told earlier. The guy I had talked to is named Greg, and he is one of the inside guys that is closely involved with the EV sales and support. Pearson has been trying to get a third party involved in providing...

I think we need to look at other possible cars too. BMW is one, Mercedes is another, maybe the Fiat 500 or something bigger will be available... EVs are not a fad, other manufacturers will enter the market with real EVs, not just compliance cars. Competition will heat up. My lease is up in...

Yes, it will be triple the battery capacity, or close to it. However, I still expect Nissan to do it. Tesla S with the 85kWh battery is selling quite briskly, and I don't see why Nissan can't do something similar. It may not be in a LEAF as we know it today, maybe not a LEAF of any kind, but...

My next car purchase/lease will be in 2016. I'm fully expecting to see a LEAF with a 200+ EPA miles by then. The LEAF suits me very well, and I don't need a bigger more luxurious car, but the 200+ miles is an absolute requirement. So if I can't find a LEAF with that range, I guess I can live...

That looks like a business address. Anybody checked it out?

The Pearson Nissan lot is not locked. The QC is available 24/7, at least for now. I noticed a bar that can be used to lock the handle to the charger, but the lot cannot be locked off.

"Not very common" would be correct. Actually, until a few days ago they were unheard of here in Florida. But things are improving, and hopefully will continue to improve. We now have one confirmed here in Ocala, and one - still unconfirmed - in Orlando. And a promise of a second one in...

I certainly will bring my card next time. Didn't even think about it since I've had the card for a year and never used it. The DCQC is Nissan branded. There are pictures here: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=12460" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I opened a new topic on "Florida CHAdeMO DCQC news" to get it out of the Nissan DCQC general topic since the rest of the country probably isn't all that interested in what goes on here. Here it is: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=12460" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Drove down to the Villages today, planning on trying out the free charger in front of Kohls. It did not go well. I had looked up the location and the status prior to leaving home, and saw that it was free and functional. We found the device and was happy to note that it was free, and had this...
