Here's an article from last November, suggesting who might be interested in buying them out, and why:mark1313 wrote:I see where the company the bought all the rights to manage the Ecotality chargers are having their own money problems ......They just issued a secondary that was bought by a private company .......They are still losing millions of dollars each year .....They own a lot of chargers in the Florida area ............
I was the last one to reply to that Seeking Alpha article ...... I never did get a answer ..........I do not think a lot of people realized that all those Ecotality chargers belonged to the government and Ecotality was just badly managing them ......GRA wrote:Here's an article from last November, suggesting who might be interested in buying them out, and why:mark1313 wrote:I see where the company the bought all the rights to manage the Ecotality chargers are having their own money problems ......They just issued a secondary that was bought by a private company .......They are still losing millions of dollars each year .....They own a lot of chargers in the Florida area ............

Even so, those financials look dreadful.
They have two L2 chargers. When I was there for service I saw two new unsold Leafs parked in front the chargers - not charging.westcoastpirate wrote:As of yesterday evening, I'm a new Leaf leasee in the Phoenix area. Has anyone used he quickcharge at Autonation Nissan in Tempe? I leased my 2013 Leaf from Larry Miller Nissan in Mesa because that was by far the best lease offer I received from the local dealers, but they are not the closest to my home.
Also, and I'm sure this will get a hearty laugh, is there anyone willing to trade their 240v upgraded cord for the standard 120v trickle charge cord that comes with the car along with some monetary compensation?
Yes, they are L2s, not QCs and they are free. I don't know where the "several" Nissan QCs are (besides Big Two in Gilbert), but I'm pretty sure Power Nissan in Tempe only has two L2s.myleaf wrote:They have two L2 chargers.

I think they are "free"
Looks like there's a $125 closing cost fee to be applied on top. Also, $495 is the starting bid for an auction. There's no telling how far it'll go.JeremyW wrote:Anyone interested in buying a commercial chargepoint station? There's one up on eBay for $495It's one of the older units with the outlet under the metal door along with a J1772 in a locking holster. It also looks like an additional home chargepoint unit (CS220?) is included. Local pickup only though in Phoenix. Would be interested in getting it if it was closer OR if someone wants to help me ship it (want a free home evse?)...
Here's the listing on eBay
