My friend has ordered a new 2018 Nissan Leaf and he's getting the first one off the boat. He and I are going down to pick it up in 2 weeks. I live approx 170 miles North of the dealer (Van Nuys Nissan). He and I have been talking electric vehicles for about 9 months now. I pulled the trigger 2 months ago on the Bolt and I've tried to steer him to Chevy, but he's set on the Leaf. Oh well, it's his loss.My range is only about 180 miles. With our destination being 170 away, I'd likely make it but I don't want to risk it. My plan is to stop in Santa Barbara and hit a EV Go dc charger for 30 minutes on the way down. Then I'll drop him off at the dealer and go find another fast charger in Van Nuys.Side question: he gets free charging through some deal with Nissan and EV Go. Hopefully he gets an EV Go card with his car like I got a ChargePoint card with mine. Would I be able to mooch off his account for a free charge at an EV Go station on the way home?He'll have less range than my Bolt, so we'll definitely have to hit a charger in Santa Barbara on the way back. Hopefully he'll have enough range to get from there to my house. Then he lives another 50 miles North of me, so we'll get a charge at my house or go to the dc charger in San Luis Obispo. It's going to be an adventure.
