Nissan expands its “free” charging program for the LEAF called “No Charge to Charge” to 3 more US cities: Austin, Texas; Monterey, Calif. and Raleigh-Durham, N.C. New LEAF buyers will have access to some chargers in EZ-Charge’s network for 2 years. The first 30 minutes of each DC charging session and 60 minutes of each level 2 charging session will be free.

EZ-Charge has extensive networks of charging stations in the new “No Charge to Charge” cities. Here’s a map of Austin”s charging network:
Nissan is rapidly adding new markets to the program ahead of the launch of the 2016 LEAF which should start arriving at a select few dealerships later this month.

The company also launched a similar program in the Netherlands last month.
