I have been leasing the current LEAF for almost 2 years now. Initially, I did not receive the NCTC card due to that the dealer was not a participating dealership (In Riverside County, CA).

So I was checking with NCTC website intermittently and 2 months ago the NCTC card has been approved. I have been using the quick charge for free since, mainly at EVgo stations.

Now my question is does NCTC card expires 2 years after activation or 2 years since the lease/purchase date? From the website, sounds like 2 years after activation. https://www.nissanusa.com/content/d...harge-to-charge-page/NCTC-program-details.pdf

By the way, the program ends on 7/7/2019 so the last date of free charging would have been 7/7/2021.

For those who don't have NCTC card, should check out the website to see if they are eligible later. https://www.ez-charge.com/

How do you get a card if you didn't get one from the dealership when the car was purchased or leased? The website wants the card number.

Fill out the request form on the FAQ page.

Hmm, IIRC reading from somewhere, the 2011 model year Leafs do not qualify for the NCTC program.

But, if anyone with a 2011 model year Leaf was successful in getting a NCTC card from the site link below, pls let us all know.... :)

Any idea how to tell when your 2 year period is up? I waited some months before activating my card, and would be nice to know when my free period is over.

Uhh... Nissan NCTC didn't even exist when I leased my 1st Leaf at end of July 2013, let alone in 2011. So, I never qualified. My current (used) Leaf has an original in-service date about a month before that car, so that makes just as ineligible.

Notice the July 9, 2014 date in https://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/09/nissans-no-charge-to-charge-incentive-for-leaf-sales/ and the mention of July 1, 2014 at https://www.chargepoint.com/about/news/nissan-launches-programs-make-leaf-charging-free-and-ez/?
“No Charge to Charge” will launch using the EZ-Charge card on July 1, 2014, in 10 of the top markets for Nissan LEAF sales, including San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston and Washington, DC. The “No Charge to Charge” offer and EZ-Charge card will be provided retroactively to buyers in these markets who purchased their LEAF on or after April 1, 2014.

After the rollout in the first 10 markets, Nissan plans to add “No Charge to Charge” and EZ-Charge at LEAF dealers in at least 15 additional markets during the following year. More details on the programs in these additional markets will be made available closer to their launch.
 
I filled out the request form a while ago, to see if I could get the NCTC card for when I bought out the lease this year, but even though it says they'll get back to me in 48 hours, I never heard anything.
 
Wasn't sure if I should post this here or elsewhere. https://www.ez-charge.com/ says "Don't miss out! Last day to purchase or lease a LEAF to qualify for this offer is July 7, 2019."

https://www.evgo.com/special-offers/nissan-no-charge-charge/ says "Don't miss out. Offer ends July 7, 2019!"

I wonder if it'll really end that day or just be extended and the "end date" is intended to be a call to action/create demand by creating an artificial sense of urgency.

Careful reading of Nissan USA web site (LEAF section) shows last day for purchase in all USA markets covered by the program as 7/7/2019. Since I won't be purchasing an SL+ that soon, I assume the program will be expired if I do decide to buy a new car. I guess that is one way to mitigate the slow charge rate (rapid gate) issue since buyers will be less likely to drive long distances if they have to pay $10 for each DCQC.

Hmmm.... Indeed. I wonder if that is some of the motivation. If it does finally end on 7/7/19 and isn't renewed, even fewer people will be complaining and it will become even lower in Nissan's list of top issues. Thanks for bringing this up. I never thought of this.
 
Does anyone know if the No Charge to Charge can be transferred when selling a 2018 LEAF?

Unclear as I don't see it addressed at https://www.ez-charge.com/faq. You'd have to contact them if the answer's not there.

The benefit's only good for the first two years anyway. How old will the car be when you sell?
 
Anyone know how the NCTC program activation/start date is determined? We are on our second Leaf lease, picked up the latest the beginning of the month. Haven't needed to activate it yet.

Does it start from purchase/lease date or when enrolled/activated or something else? Can't remember from 3 years ago as we enrolled about the same time of the first lease anyway.

The start date is the date the car was first titled. Both of ours had NCTC, and I got the program termination email in both cases two years to the date they were both titled. So, generally speaking it’s the day you purchased it or very close to it.
 
Got a Leaf and the No Charge to Charge card on 6/30. Went to the EZ-Charge site and signed up no problem. Started adding network and got a couple going, but running into some issues with ChargePoint and Webasto.

At the ChargePoint link it seems like it only allows you to register a new account, but we already have an existing account we'd like linked. Anyone have/resolve this issue before? I submitted a support request, but haven't heard anything back yet.

For Webasto, the link just doesn't work. Goes to what appears to be a dead page. Tried going directly to the evnet.evsolutions.com site and also submitted a support request there, but no response yet either.
