Nissan is ready to roll out an all-electric car with a 100-mile range, the Leaf.
They're setting up a national network of electrical installers so that a custome can be referred to a contractor in the network to have a charger installed.
Aerovironment in Monrovia, CA (LA area) is setting up the installers network. They'll train the installers and do quality assurance followup, but the installer is an independent contractor.
AS I recall, as an installer, you have to be set up to respond to inquiries w/in 24 hours, and do the install within 3 days of inking a contract, weekends included.
It looks like a good approach to ensure the success of the car. I mean, if the charger doesn't work, the car don't go. And people who want the car don't want to have to shop around for an installer and wait 2-3 weeks for an install.
