Someday you won't be able to throw a rock without hitting a fast
charging station...  Tesla isn't the only company building fast-
charging stations, though their plans seem more ambitious than
others right now. Nissan is also committing more to building a
network of fast-charging stations around the US.  The initiative
will start with DC charging stations being built at "more than
100 LEAF-certified dealers" in 21 markets around the country.
The stations will use the CHAdeMO standard - which can deliver
up to 62.5 kW of high-voltage direct current - and be able to
charge a LEAF battery from 'empty' to about 80% in about 30
minutes. That's not bad, especially if you just want to top up
an extra 15-30 miles on your battery, something that you should
be able to do in around 5-10 minutes.  © Nissan  This quick
charging initiative follows a 24-dealer pilot program, which
took place in San Fra
