Sometimes it pays to be an early adapter.  In August the U.S. Department of Energy announced a grant of $99.8 million to implement the largest transportation electrification project in U.S. history.  San Diego was one of only five cities selected.  One thousand Nissan Leafs will be deployed in San Diego market.  The San Diego Nissan Leaf early adapters will receive the FREE use of a residential charging station.  SDG&E will track, monitor and evaluate.

Check out the Nissan Leaf for yourself at the Town & Country Convention Center in Hotel Circle this Saturday November 21st at 1:00 PM.  Click here for tour details.
