I am new Leaf 2015 owner, Just got it today.
I am kind of confusing on the charge stations. There are so many kinds of info on it.
1, Nissan 2 year free (EZ charge) that is free for every 30 min/session for DC high. On the charging stations, is there a set to limit to 30min so Iam really free?
And "level 2" for 1 hour free only charges 14%? that seems useless "free".
2, plugshare
When I go to plugshare webpage , around me there are a lot of residential chargers, how do they charge? anybody really used them?
And for "public", they list a lot of like Toyota dealer, BMW dealer etc, are they free if I drive Nissan Leaf in and charge?
3, On EZ charge website, they say after free session (or , after 2 year ) the price is:
DC fast charging fees can range from 10 cents per minute to $5 to $10 per session. Level 2 charging fees may range between $0.49 per kilowatt-hour to $1 to $3 per hour. Charging fees are noted at each station.
if for DC high, i $8 /session = 60 mile for leaf, it is 13c/mile; Level 2 $2 per hour = $12 mile for leaf, they both seem higher than gas price for same size car like Civic. Then what's the benefit of EV car?
