EVSE Home Assessment Reports

Do we know of ANYBODY, even one person, who has ACCEPTED their AV bid?

As near as I can tell, there currently is no way to accept the quote/bid. So even if someone wants to accept it, I don't believe they can at this time.

I think all you have to do is follow the three-step process outlined on the Nissan website. Accept the bid and schedule it. I don't know if the electricians have the units in stock yet, but I think you can accept now, maybe schedule now, and you would be contractually bound.

I can find no way on the website to accept the bid but I suspect no one can - I looked back at the "tell me more about the installation" and it lists this as Step 2 (step 1 ends with receive the quote):

1.pay AeroVironment Inc. in full. you can do this anytime after you've ordered your Nissan LEAF
2.Include the price in your Nissan LEAF retail installment loan
3.include the cost in your Nissan LEAF lease

So I believe you "accept" the bid by paying AeroVironment, or commiting to pay AeroVironment through your loan/lease. Since no one can order the car, no one can accept the bid yet.

I think I'm with you guys. Looks like I'm going cash and carry, and using the existing untapped 240v wiring in the garage that the AV electrician didn't even want to talk about. Sorry my in home #10 wiring isn't military spec.
