I upgraded my Nissan EVSE to 240V using evseupgrade.com. It works great. My friend just purchased a Ford Focus electric. Will my EVSE work on his car?

(from insideevs commenter) and I agree..... This should make it even more obvious to NEVER buy a Leaf but only lease, return, lease again if you want. Just replacing the battery on your 3-5 year old Leaf at $6,000 is equal to $166/mo over 36 months. A New 2015 Leaf S starts at $229/mo for 36...

Works on my 2014 SL

I have a 2014 and I charge to 100% every night. I drive in the carpool lane at 80 MPH to my office. Live life and don't worry about it. Your Leaf is deigned to accept a 100% charge. Nissan can verify this.

Wow. That's exactly what it was! Thanks. I took a small amount of WD40 on a rag and wiped it right off. Glad I didn't take it back to the dealer..would have felt very stupid. It's amazing how it looked exactly like a small hairline crack. Even had the feel of a crack if you lightly touched...

I have what appears to be a stress crack running the width of my car 3 inches back from the windshield. The crack is in a straight line and runs from one side of the car to the other. Car was purchased May 3rd and has 1400 miles on it. Has anyone seen or heard of this happening on other...

Nissan now states charging to 100% is OK. They have seen no harm doing so and have eliminated the 80% charge option. The conspiracists here who think "Kennedy was killed by not one but two assassins" and "man never landed on the moon" will tell you Nissan eliminated the 80% charge option to...

I double checked with the dealer. 7500 NMAC only. So the deal is: State : CA Sales tax 7.75% Leaf Trim, options : 2014 SL / Premium / Holographic Kick Plates / Splash Guards MSRP : $37,370.00 Invoice : $35,246 Negotiated Price : $33,401 Taxes, Title, Registration : included in down payment...

How does this deal look on an SL/Premium? Got dealer to match TrueCar quote. 3K down / $315 per month / includes taxes. Will get $2500 California tax rebate in the mail later in the year. My question is this: Isn't Nissan offering an $8200 NMAC rebate? Seems this dealer only quoted $7500...

From Dianne Whitmire on RAV4 EV group: California Runs Out of Clean Vehicle Rebate Funds for ZEVs and Plug-ins Consumers Buying These Vehicles Will Now Be Added to a Waiting List CNCDA just received word that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will suspend rebates of up to $2,500 under...

Thanks for the info Michael. That's good to hear you can drive from the Pocket area to Folsom and back without a charge. That's more miles than my commute. I just want to make sure I can make it downtown and back for the 3 year period of my lease. Charging downtown doesn't look like it...

I'm looking into leasing a Leaf and need some help on driving range in Sacramento. I want to commute from Folsom to downtown Sacramento and then back without charging. 41 miles roundtrip. 34 freeway miles on Highway 50 and 7 miles on side streets. Will I have comfortable range to run my...

I checked the 30 amp breaker that is located above the 50 amp breakers. The wire coming from that breaker is much smaller than that coming from the 50 amp breakers. I'm confident the wiring is fine. So, since the Clipper Creek charger won't work with my plug, I guess I could go with the...

I can't read anything on the insulation. Paint is from 93 when garage walls were painted. These pics are from the breaker box.

Pictures are kind of big. Sorry about that. Can anyone tell what size wire this looks like?
