NRG eVgo offers electric vehicle charging services to EV drivers both at home and on the road.
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest growing markets in the country for Leaf sales, with deliveries up 500% so far this year as compared to 2012. The presence of strong public infrastructure with eVgo, as well as major technology companies and strong word-of-mouth referrals from existing owners has fuelled the rise in sales, Nissan said.
The Freedom Station sites, located along major roadways, offer DC fast charging and level two charging. DC fast chargers can deliver up to an 80% charge in less than 30 minutes. Level two delivers range recharge at a rate of 12-25 miles anour.
The offer is for Leafs made between 1 October, 2013 and 31 March, 2014 and sold in the two Texan metro area markets.
