Ok, too many jumps to conclusions: Someone down in Atlanta ask the manager "what's up?" Remember when someone busted up the plug in on a EVSE at some water dept up north? Everyone was saying, "Someone needs to do something". Remember when an unkind person stuck chewing gum in the plug in...

I put all super positive responses and got the "full" message. Maybe they want some corrective criticism instead of "yes" folks - well, I flunked, I guess - oh, wait, now I DO have a criticism :D

New charger in Watkinsville (Athens area). Had great lunch at Kumquat Mae Bakery and Cafe on Barnett Shoals Rd at Main St. The Zero Emissions charger L-2 was installed yesterday. The Cafe owner begged me to try it out. I works great. They got pictures. friendly crew. Alfred, the Leaf, was...

me, too

The Walgreens at Ga20 and Old Peachtree is very pleasant. The people are friendly and welcoming. Clean restroom. I always buy stuff to say "thanks". I always try to thank the management for letting me charge and for providing the service. The Walgreens over at 124? and Old P'tree? - not so...

Thanks again, Jim. I came to your area again yesterday (see the EV South facebook for my trip report). I drove passed Panera and the parking lot was jam packed - maybe too much for a gathering - however, I have been thinking 3 o'clock on some Sunday - maybe not a super busy time for them. I...

Ted I would be coming from Lawrenceville. If I stick on Atlanta Hwy I might be able to pull it off. And I could hit Nissan there or Walgreens here if I was coming up short. Don't work around me, but keep me posted. Jim Thanks, Jim, I was in your area today. Went from East Athens to Buford...

Where would you be coming from nogajim? I was kind of thinking that the Panera Bread place on Atlanta Hwy (near Honda) would be right between Nissan and the Georgia Power building on Prince Ave (yes, Ga Pwr seems to have backed off the "don't charge" stance after Nissan here reminded them that...

I am looking to start a gathering monthly(?) in the Athens, GA area. Maybe parking lot of a coffee house (Panera Bread, Two-story coffee, etc) Ideas? Purpose would be to meet each other, support EV stuff, and maybe, let public passersby see the cars. Ted

Andy and JG - good stuff - good thinking. JG, what has happened since last post? I have JG's need for portable as a ham radio operator and it evolved into "can I partially top up my leaf"? Try googling "solar generators" -the "generators" part of the phrase takes you to really portable (roll...

The last several summers we have been on the "cut back in the afternoon" Ga power program. I charge a SLAB with a solar collector in the morning and early aft then work my ham radio hobby in the "expensive time" strictly on battery. Now that I have a new LEAF, I will charge it late at night...

Did you see GP trying to explain solar etc to the Public Service Commission yesterday? I did not know that was going on then, but I read it in the paper this morning. Who buys the best lawyers??? :(

Good for them - good for us - It is good business all around. EVERY TIME I find a free charger I buy something I wasn't planning to buy just to say "thank you". :)

In the wild: Beautiful Black (yes, the new black!!) LEAF headed north on 53 north of Gainesville at about 4:30 pm. Gorgeous!

Preach it, Brother! :)

I know what you mean, Paul. Ga Pwr has a web site for "pro-EV", but I keep finding their sites not available to the public - something seems amiss. I have had a similar experience looking that Ga Pwr's policy on buying back solar power from customers. "Yes, we DO have a plan for Georgian's to...

OK, sorry I led folks to think the GA power office on Prince Ave Athens welcomed non-employee charging (they don't) SO attempting to make amends - I personally talked to the manager of the Walgreens pharmacy at corner of Lexington Rd and Cherokee Rd (front of Lowes on Athens eastside). He was...

OOPPS - I checked with GA Pwr - They want the charger to be used by their staff only - Sorry - I should have checked. Bummer. However, I have used the two chargers by the service door of Athens Nissan 24/7 All working. Sorry for the bad info. Ted

Yes, Paul, I am ONE of the guys with a silver beard, Tilley hat and khaki vest. I was working the Young Eagles flight checkin. My Leaf was parked on the aircraft side of the fence. I have the silver, 46 ft. wingspan motorglider my wife and I built about 4 yrs ago. It was in the hangar on...

Good deal, Paul. Ted here. Were you flying?
