Our local Nissan Dealer here in Olympia hosted a nice gathering Sunday. We had something more than 10 LEAFs piled up and several expectant owners. Just swapped stories for a few hours and then rounded them up for a photo opp. I’ll send the landscape version if the LEAFer that took the pictures is able to knit the various frames together, but here is an iPod shot:
I didn’t hear any stories of clamity, but I heard a lot of range anxiety tales. One owner boasted getting 120 miles on a charge (just around town over a period of time) before he lost his nerve and plugged in. DaveinOlywa had to work, but we’re hoping he can get to the next pile.
There is an active group of “eco” contractors in town, and an employee of one (who is also an expectant owner) showed up to recruit for a tour next weekend. He is going to show solar installations (and such) at business and homes in the south sound region. He was asking that current owners volunteer to park their cars at several homes on the tour where the solar panels can supplement or offset charging for the cars. I might just do that.
