Seems that Nissan is looking for parking garage operators to install QCs. If you listen to the entire conference call (youtube video), Nissan is really pushing to get these stations installed by March 31st, 2014, which is the end of their fiscal year.
I still haven't come across any here in NY... :|
Sorry to hear it NY.
One of the contacts listed in the story is Dan Ciarcia. I've exchanged a couple emails with him, and here are the relevant bits:
"As far as the upcoming sites, Nissan is currently in the preliminary stages
of site evaluation and expects to have the sites selected by year-end with
installation complete by Q2-14. I am affiliated with the Green Parking
Council and we are trying to use our network of parking operators to
generate some optimal sites. Once the sites have been selected, I am sure
that we will be generating several announcements about their locations. The
best way to stay in touch with these and future developments would be to
join the Green Parking Council (GPC) group on LinkedIn, mailing list on the
web site (greenparkingcouncil.org) as well as our social media channels
(Facebook, Twitter, etc). Also, feel free to check back in with me in 3-6
months if you haven't heard anything and I can let you know what the latest
status is on new sites."
And:
"I think the total number will ultimately be up to Nissan to determine but I
don't believe they are looking for more than one per target city for this
initial round. Our involvement is to help support identifying and promoting
the sites. Nissan is a partner company of GPC. It is true that the timing
is fast for this initial program.
Regards
Dan"
That last sentence refers to how little time Nissan allowed for someone to make a decision. Just like a car dealer, eh?
