We received a notice from Nissan that our first year of free charging may be coming to an end here at the dealer. They are giving us three choices. Please see the following and give me your opinion. We are on the fence, but currently leaning toward the Chargepoint option at our store (Nissan of Downtown LA). We can set a price with Chargepoint for users, but we can't with EVGO. EVGO has a better warranty of 4 years vs. 1 year with Chargepoint.

First off, congratulations for participating in the Nissan DC Quick Charger Program. With your installation complete the second part of our program is to offer Dealerships the opportunity to Network these Chargers. Currently you activate your Quick Charger using an RFID key fob. Both options presented here would replace your current means of operating the Charger.
Benefits of Networking are:
1. Allows EV Drivers to find, locate and determine Quick Charger Status
2. Attracts existing and potential new Customers to your Dealership
3. Provides real time metrics on health and usage of the Quick Charger
4. Allows Dealers to monetize each Quick Charging event and create a revenue stream
These are options you have to choose from:
Option 1 – Choose NRG eVgo as your network provider. Free to the Dealer
Option 2- Choose Charge Point as your network provider. Free to the Dealer
Option 3- Choose neither and continue to provide free charging to EV drivers. Caution – should you elect to choose this option then decide later you want to be able to network this Charger, Nissan will not pay for this. Approximate cost to install at a later date is $2,000.
Free Network installation offer, over $2,000 value, expires on March 31, 2014.
