Yes, but in ECO mode up a hill I have to literally "floor it." Then, it just creeps up the hill near my house.

Hi, I took 3 people on a 60 mile round-trip jaunt Easter Sunday. I started out with 96 miles available according to the readout. Only a few miles in, it dropped to 62. At this point I switched off the A/C but kept it in regular mode. Committed, we made the trip but on the way home the...

Thank you for the electrical recommendation; did you get a charging interface from aerovironment?

I tried Google Maps but it wasn't easy to find it.

Thanks for the information. I did find this list , which is not complete but a start: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/progs/ind_state.php/CA/ELEC

When and where are the Leafers of Orange County meeting next? I'd like to attend! Thanks, drlesley

Got mine Friday night from Connell Nissan in Costa Mesa, CA. Chris Klee handled the details. Very helpful. We love it so far. It is a struggle to find any charging stations. I am using trickle charge for now and since I only commute 35 miles round trip and my husband has a hybrid, we can...

Nicely done! Where did you get the charger and why did you need a permit? Thanks for any info you can shed on this.

my experience with Leviton: You are now talking to Monique How can I help you? Monique: Hello, welcome to Leviton Live Chat. How can I be of service? You said: I m getting an electric car in a week and need a levele 2 charging station in my home You said: I have ordered the evr-green charging...

After you have installed the outlet and you get a hookup from SoCalEdison which attaches to the dryer outlet, do you have to buy something that hooks from the dryer outlet to a charging unit (i.e. an EVSE)? If so, where are you getting that? Do you need another inspection for that?

Are you in Orange County? I would be very interested in hearing your experience with this. I am not a DIYer but I am interested in not getting ripped off by Aeroviroment even if 50% is offset by tax dollars. I am not interested in lining the pockets of Aerovironment which makes unmanned...

Has anyone installed their level 2 charging system yet? I am waiting to find a better than the aerovironment rip-off that was offered. Does anyone have an electrician they have used in the area who has experience with level 2 charger home installation in OC? Thanks.

Boomer 23, Thanks for the referral. I will write it down. Just out of curiosity--did you get a reasonable quote for Aerovironment? Mine was $3600 for a new home with a covered attached garage. Was your electrician's quote similar? Thank you for whatever thoughts you can add.

Many thanks to MWalsh who graciously shared the details of his order with me and helped me decide to waive the "folding in" of the EVSE home charging equipment into the lease. Aerovironment is such a rip-off that was a no-brainer, but I wasn't sure how that would come up in the purchase...
