John, glad to be here!

Greg, it appears that Aerovironment (AV) is being realistic about the charger installation cost...I recall that the cost of the charger installed at $2200 with $780 of that the cost of the charger.

I appppreciate the fact that AV and Nissan are stressing that a licensed electrician/electrical contractor will do the work. See the video: http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index#/leaf-electric-car/video/view/charging

Of course, Nissan has a big stake in having the charger work!

Aerovironment is a cool company; they make the Predator and Reaper drones. The Reaper (as in Grim Reaper) is one very scary machine...

The guy who founded AV, Paul McCready, was the top guy in human-powered flight--Gossamer Condor and Gossamer Albatross.
