Another issue with close proximity of charging station spots is that I believe that EV chargers need to be ADA compliant. If the chargers were placed far from a business, etc... handicapped EV users would be limited in access. I read about this somewhere maybe in the COSTCO thread. Can anyone...

Might this also be the reason my EV parking decal request check and form have not been responded to in 45 days? I hope that this type of idiocy doesn't make it through.

Done. And maybe those full mailboxes are a good sign!

The owner's portal was working perfectly fine on my Google G1 phone until 2 days ago. Now it redirects after a message saying Flash failed. Why the hell would Nissan change the portal for LESS access for their owners?

I have been motivated by a lot of you who are acting and trying to be heard by businesses to extend the EV charging infrastructure at work, play etc... One organization I have targeted is Whole Foods Markets. EV promotion would be in line with their company values and their promotion of a...

I tried to plug EV use at the Costco ... it was like discussing particle physics with poodles. I was given the huge runaround and ultimately I found out two things ... 1) that the charging stations are GE and that "we're not too sure that they work" and, 2) the City of Lancaster is in charge of...

My plan is to charge at AVC while I teach and I should be fine. Will keep y'all up to date with the information concerning the Chargepoints at AVC.

I work at AVC and they have a new solar panel array in their parking lot. Included are ChargePoint power stations L2 chargers. While I have been assured that they will be turned on soon ... that was a year ago. So, eventually there will be at least one more location.

Although I am living in the San Fernando Valley, I work in the Antelope Valley. While I am thinking of using my Civic Hybrid for the commute, I would like to know if those of us who live or work in the Antelope Valley have found places to charge. When I look at charger maps, there seems to be...

So, I finally removed the wall and cabinet. The latch for the power port is damaged ... the metal hinge is bent I think. some minor cosmetic injury to paint ... should be buffable and shouldn't need a major paint bake. Taking it in on Monday to my local Nissan service center, they said it...

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Lisa and all the great folks at Fontana Nissan. They really were nice and helped me go through the initial steps of ownership (showing me the ropes). It was really a painless experience buying from them ... now onto the payments!

So I picked up my Nissan Leaf from Fontana Nissan, drove it 65+ miles home to Northridge in the valley and I park it in my mother's garage trickle charging. I have not owned the car 10 hours yet and ... There is a huge BANG noise coming from the garage. The garage wall with a cabinet that had...

One of the problems with the ECOTOTALITY scam (taking the rebate) is that it doesn't help when TOU meters cost a lot of cash. I did find on the LADWP site (http://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/cms/ladwp002056.jsp) this information. Service Requirement To receive the rebate, customers must...

My dealer has told me that the car is at the dealership. It seems that the CA rebate for 5k at least, is a lost cause. Should I delay my purchase for 10 days to receive the benefits of lower tax rate and fees? And anyone have any advice of how to accomplish this? Do you think dealers would be...

Anyone else go from April delivery to May to "Pending"? I don't even know what to do as my current car is dying on me. Had to pay 4000 for transmission repair on my Honda Civic Hybrid and other repairs are starting to come up ... I may need to buy another car as the timing doesn't seem to work...
