Obviously I'm late to the party (discussion). I just replaced with new Ecopia's (costco has a Bridgestone deal of $70 off set of four). Yep, seeing 10% (or so) degradation in range. I'm hoping it improves as the tires wear in.

Thanks for the link!! Got these and replaced the battery in my fob no problem. Just had to use a tiny screwdriver and worked my way around the fob until the back popped off (more-or-less).

There's also SemaConnect for the chargers at Walgreens (which are free for now and don't need a card or account yet). Thanks for the comprehensive list! :D Which brings up a (off-topic?) gripe about public charging infrastructure: Why make us get a card/account for each source? Such a hassle...

Check with the US Energy department and see if they still have chargers to install for free. I just met a new Leaf owner about a month ago who was able to still take advantage of that program. Level 2 charging is much easier than trickle charging (in my opinion). Its worth having. :)

I thought Oregon didn't offer the tax credit this year...?

Hi All, Have you noticed the chargers going into various Walgreens around the region? I contacted the manufacturer for more information: SemaConnect manufactures and sells the ChargePro 620, Level 2, Electric Vehicle Charging station. They said currently those charging stations are all free and...

Thanks for the reply. I did find these online (see the Trico Exact Fit Hybrid) and wonder if its a suitable replacement: http://www.tricoproducts.com/Trade/WiperProducts/FactoryReplacement/ExactFit" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :?:

Has anybody replaced the front windshield wipers yet? If so, is there a way to replace just the rubber strip, or do I have to replace the whole wiper blade unit that detaches from the wiper arm?? Or do I just let the dealer do it at the next service visit? :(

There are a couple of charging stations in Lincoln City. I'm guessing you could get there on a full charge from Hilsboro?

How did you come up with $1583? I thought the credit was for a max of $1500.

I got a notice over the weekend that I have to go in for a software upgrade. I'll have to look at the email again. I don't recall anything about an apron upgrade.

Yes, you need to apply for it. There was a discussion on this thread back a ways; what form to use, how to fill it out, etc. Excellent info. :)

I haven't been back there yet, but I think its this one (press release says they're working with 350green who is partnering with Walgreens and other businesses): http://www.semaconnect.com/chargepro.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for the attempt. I should go and try to take a picture of it. The whole unit is part of the small diameter pole. If it wasn't for the charging cord on it, I might not have even noticed it. I don't recall seeing a GE logo on it either. I've also contacted Walgreens (via email) to see if...

I noticed a new charger at the Walgreens near me at 9159 SE 82Nd Ave Happy Valley, OR 97086 But it was not a brand that I recognized (not Blink or ChargePoint, and doesn't look like OpConnect). Its on a thin pole with a green matrix LED read-out, and wants an RFID card to activate. I can't...
