Hello Ken
 
Congratulations.
 
The charging Station I have had to reset ours by turning off  the breaker 
twice in less then two weeks. 
 
Other then that no problems.

We picked up our Nissan Leaf from  Nissan Gladstone yesterday evening.
Everything went pretty smoothly. I was  told this was the first leaf they
sold at the dealership. The drive home  was amazing. Totally silent.

At first, when I plugged in the Blink  charger, it did not recognize that 
the
car was attached. I turned off the  breaker to the charger, then turned it 
on
again, and that seemed to make it  recognize the car. It started charging a
short time later. The charger  makes a fairly arresting "click" sound as it
begins charging. The front of  the car, behind the windshield, has some 
eerie
blue LED lights that glow as  it is charging, a very nice, kind of 
mysterious
touch. One can hear the  faint hum of a fan as it is charging. I got an
interesting message on the  info panel on the blink charger, something along
the lines of "The electric  utility has delayed charging until 9:57 pm." Not
sure what that  means.

Very exciting!
I drove the car to work this morning for the  first time. Got lots of
questions, as  expected.
