Re: used Aerovironment EVSE-RS for sale

If you're interested in the charge station, that's being sold by FilmMixer on the MyNissanLEAF forum. Looks like it may still be available. To contact the seller directly, log in to that site, and send a private message.

If you want to contact me, use our contact form and select Submit Accessory for the Type of Inquiry dropdown. Thanks.

Interesting ... went to the location of the "opened" unit and received a message that the account was suspended. Conspiracy folks, front and center ... I'll bet this post of mine is censored too.
