Wow. I used to think that Idaho has a dearth of electric vehicles. In Boise, we have around a dozen or so Tesla Model S. The first Model X I know of is coming to town this weekend. I see a Tesla on the road every few weeks (2 this week). Usually, I see Leaf more often than that. I seem to

Too bad that 10kW CHAdeMO charger is limited to 20A output. My Kia Soul EV top voltage is about 400V so that makes this an 8kW charger for my car. Isn't the top voltage of the LEAF about 400V too? I still would like a 10kW on board charger with an in-car way to program the max current draw from

>You west coast folks with EVs everywhere may not know what it's like here in the midwest. Around here, owning ANY kind of EV is unusual and draws notice. Here in NE Ohio, I may see a Leaf a few times a YEAR. I have yet to see a Tesla on the road or in a parking lot.< So, any ol' EV will do?

I have admired a Tesla S at an ice-cream shack once, and in Oberlin I've seen an S and an X, a Leaf or two, and I'd swear I've seen a Spark, although that hardly makes any sense. Obies are a pretty dedicated lot, though. Few of these, if any, are resident, although we have a L2 charger downtown

Yeah, I think long distance travel with a 100 mile range ev and L2 charging will mainly convince people that EVs are not for them and not ready for prime time. -- View this message in context:

David,I seen a Tesla X last week on East Erie street last week (beside the Ametek building in downtown Kent, OH).  Also seen a Model S and Leaf charging at the downtown parking deck.  It is rare to see EV's in NE OH though. On Friday, June 17, 2016 5:44 AM, EVDL Administrator via EV

Watt does an L2-loving EVangel really need to drive as an EV example? % The piece speaks of EV'r who L2 charged his Leaf across the USA. It also sez he is going to make a 2nd trip with the following goals: ... a dedicated effort to publicize the cars in general. The plan is to seriously
