Excited about NEW logo for my LEAF. See ya’ll on the road sometime in San Diego.
Ecotality continues to install more public charging stations in the San Diego area. If you’re wondering where you can find charging stations, Blink Network has this handy locator map.
One of the major barriers for acceptance of electric vehicles is the limited number of miles you can drive before recharging the car. San Diego is taking steps to knock down this barrier, or at least make it smaller, by installing public charging stations like the ones now available in Balboa Park. There are now 10 of the Blink charging stations installed in Balboa Park. At least for now they are free to use. All you need is a swipe card from Blink to activate the charger. The Blink chargers at Balboa Park are similar to the Blink charger installed in my garage at home that I use to charge my Nissan LEAF. There are plans to install more public chargers in places where people might go for a couple of hours, and now they can get some extra “juice” while enjoying a park, shopping mall, or wherever they might go.
Only the second time I got to sit inside a Nissan LEAF electric car came at the San Diego Auto Show in January of 2011. It was the first time that I saw the LEAF at the annual show. One of the things I remember about seeing the LEAF for the first time was the sense that it was a real car and that I could make it work for my real estate business and personal driving needs.
