Sorry my report was so short, my bad. No one really was willing to share much with me. I should add I was really pissed off because when I got in my Leaf and like the last time my stand-alone Sirius radio wasn't working (lifetime membership). They keep bolting the seat on top of the antenna...

Well here is the short story of an update. Tech said it's be called the GE charger update when I got it home and plugged it in the only thing I noticed was that double beep after the hook up takes a longer like 4 or 5 seconds rather than right away. If it works I'm happy

Too early to give a full report but I just blew my second charger. It's at the dealer now and I've had long talks with the dealer, GE tech. and Nissan Corp. headquarters. Just a quick heads up Nissan's firmware update I recieved just 6 weeks ago, it has been updated as of 2 weeks ago. So if...

Well here is my update on the 2012 Leaf. They installed the charger, tested the battery and charger, then did a computer update. The service man explained the problem is a number of "after market" units feed the power all at once. The Nissan "approved" charger starts out slower and builds up...

Well I just blew up my Leaf with a Watts station. It was towed to my Nissan dealer and most of their questions to me have been what GE model, what is it's serial number, what is its Manufactured date. I get the feeling they're going to go with it's GE Watts fault but I don't know that yet. I...

I understand what you're saying, TEEEKOWED (Tom) is trying to get others to see that EVCA is now a phony front of a company. Although it may be hard to follow he's trying to show the problems the owner is having with Nevada's authorities. He’s hoping that others that have been ripped off will...

If I understand right, this company has no factory and has no employees so how they plan to do this great service I'm at a loss. Since I no longer have one of their units I can't return one. One draw back living in Florida is there is no storage. No place to put a very nice anchor even one...

Follow up---Tom hasn't worked for (with) EVCA for sometime. He and Bob I believe had what would be best discribed as a falling out over business practices. They seem to have nothing good to say about each other. The only issue here is he worked for a company that ripped people off, in my...

Just for your information, I'm the guy who ended up with two of these units both wouldn't charge my Leaf. Tom Haynie of EVCA was the party I was dealing with the last three months I delt with the problem. Since I never met him personally, I can only share what I know from many emails and phone...

Since I'm not close to them I really don't know about moving their office. I will say I heard a few months ago they where in talks with companies in China about a buy out but rumors are easy, facts on this company are hard to find. I do know that the government is looking into them because of...

Here is a youtube of the charger Chris built for me using the EVCA body and cords. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfym1Tx5sp8&feature=plcp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you are one of the many people who have a problem with a L2 (220Volt) charging unit made by EV Charge America. Then I pass this along to you. I have one of their units but have had the inside parts all replaced by Open-EVSE which fixed all my issues. This is for those still trying to get a...

This is a follow up of the EVCA unit that Chris1Howell wrote about and posted pictures. If you've followed mine and other people's expericences with the chargers you already know they suck. I happened to end up with two non working units, the one I had and what I later found out was a scrap...

They make a good point make it +3

Well I am impressed by what has been done here. I'm the guy with two of these units one with a Oily mess inside and one that I drilled a small hole in the side so I could trip the boards reset button. I'm wondering if anyone would be either fixing one up for me and using the second as part...
