I wrote back in December about my unhappy experience attempting to charge my loaner LEAF at San Francisco City Hall's electric car charging stations. A threat taken seriously in San Francisco. San Francisco's Department of the Environment just received its first LEAF, which now uses one of these spaces.

Plus installation. My installation was pretty simple, so it cost me nothing. I am pleased to participate in the EV Project, which came late to the San Francisco Bay Area, and happy to get my tax-payer funded charger and DC Fast port. Something Ecotality couldn’t do even with $100 million in federal grant money.
