It only took a short discussion and test drive of this very car to seal my fate this evening...

Nice quick consult with a local installation company today (J Lee Associates Inc in Marlborough, MA).  The consultant (Alden) took a look at my main panel, distance to the mounting location, and left me a nice poster to mark the install location (if I choose to go with the EVSE-RS):

Got my consultation appointment (1/26), and read up a little on the charging company and unit (Aerovironment EVSE-RS):

Kinda kewl it's the same one Jay Leno put in his garage:

And I'm lucky I booked my appointment early - some people are waiting over a month now!

Next - the charger (J1772 - the current standard):

Because this car has a significantly sized lithium-ion battery (32 Kwh), a high amp/voltage charger is recommended, so BMW is making a consultation with Aerovironment mandatory.

Recruitment opens!

After almost a year of waiting, signing up for several email lists and checking web site updates regularly.... Finally!
