    On 6/27/2010 i paid $ 99 and reserved a Nissan Leaf Electric Vehicle.The reservation # B 93D08F3.
     During the past year i sopke to Nissan Customer service on1-877-664-2738(NO GAS EV) ad was told the maximum range is 100 miles and there will be Quick charge stations and the vehicle could be charged in 27 minutes for a 80% of charge. Since my commute is 35 miles each way and daily 70 miles i purchased a Nissan Leaf for $ 36700.00 from Nissan of Vacaville, CA on 7/28/2011.. I was also charged $ 700.00 for a quick charge port.In  April i spoke to Nissan customer service and was told, that thet they could add a Quick charge port at the time of manufacture for $ 700.00. I said o.k.

   Now i find that there are no Quick Charge port in California and when i called Nissan they said they are not aware when thoes will be installed.I drove this work this morning and i do not know whether i could go home this evening.

I purchased this vehicle with the understandind that the Quick charge stations are readily available.
After paying $ 2000.00 , my monthly paymets are $ 500.00. I feel i have being Cheated and this is fraudulent buisness practice on the part of Nissan Motor Coropration of USA.

I am prepared to return the vehicle and i want my money back.

If Nissan, via their franchised agent, the dealer, is going to sell such a product in a particular state or region, then I feel they DO owe it to the customer to make sure the infrastructure is in place at reasonable distances/intervals for the quick charging to take place. Salesman bullcrap or not, Nissan knows where the car is being sent, and knows the stations to charge it are not in place yet. That is just plain wrong, and they ought to make the purchaser whole on a refund, call it a day, and withhold those cars until the stations are reasonably available..

You accepted the word of a salesman about the quick charge ports without checking them out first, before you spent almost 37000 dollars?
You drove to work anyway not sure that you can make it home?
Your rip off is not with Nissan.
