With a whole year of charging offered for free, Texans now have more reasons than
ever to go electric with the Nissan LEAF. The “No Charge to Charge” program gives
Dallas-Fort Worth and greater Houston residents unlimited access to a public charging
network if they buy or lease a Nissan [LEAF](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/05/test-drive-results-2014-nissan-leaf/)
between October 2013 and the end of March 2014.

The initiative is a partnership between Nissan and NRG eVgo, a company committed
to realizing America’s first-ever privately-funded EV ecosystem. So far, NRG eVgo’s
Freedom Station® charging network covers 23 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
and 17 in greater Houston, as well as charging points at both city airports. Stations
are generally open 24 hours a day and are located near shopping outlets or restaurants,
allowing drivers to shop or eat while their vehicles charge.

Those who qualify for the programme will benefit from a year’s free access to the
network. With DC fast charging points available at certain stations, drivers will
be able to charge up to 80% of their vehicle’s battery in less than half an hour.

Thanks partly to the efforts of NRG eVgo, which also supplies charging docks for
home and work, Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the United States’ fastest growing markets
for the Nissan LEAF, with a 500% increase on deliveries this year relative to 2012.
And with the launch of “No Charge to Charge”, demand for the LEAF is set to keep
on growing.
