    Quick Charge Ports - add later

    Ray, I'm glad you will have a QC that you'll be able to use. I'd rather be wrong than right with my predictions :) Vlad

    Quick Charge Ports - add later

    I don't have high hopes for QC for a good number of years. Even if QC is installed somewhere in the vicinity - there is no guarantee it will be in the direction I'm going - it will not be half way to the destination, so it will never extend the range full 80% - coming to a QC and finding it...

    One of the reasons I bought my Leaf.. a picture says it all.

    That's not the only disconnect with the economic theory that I have. I think that life doesn't end after a quarterly earnings report. I don't think that moving natural resources from a mine to a landfill faster and faster equals good life. And I certainly don't think endless growth is possible...

    One of the reasons I bought my Leaf.. a picture says it all.

    Why are we so obsessed with using our oil first? Last time I checked, God wasn't making any more of it. Even with reduced consumption, and all advances in alternative energy, it is a limited resource, and it will only be more valuable over time. If we want to be cynical - let's use up their oil...

    SV buyers: Cheapskate losers or smartest guys in the room?

    Got an SV, no buyers remorse, which is a rarity for me. Just didn't see extra features being worth the $$. I find view backward in Leaf to be better than in my still unsold TSX, maybe because leaf is a hatchback. Checking blindspots in Leaf is harder, but camera wouldn't help with that.

    Legrand EV Level 2 Car Charging station

    Got my Legrand from Home Depot, installed it two days ago. Installation is really straightforward. It's a fairly basic unit. Someone here called L2 chargers "glorified extension cords", and it was spot on. Box itself is pretty bulky, and 90% empty. Plastic housing is thick and feels solid. I...

    Summary of EVSE options

    Again, thanks to all who replied! There is no outlet. Nothing is connected to the breaker, it's always off. There is no room in the panel. So breaker would have to be replaced for Schneider...

    Summary of EVSE options

    First, thanks to everyone who contributed to this forum, it's being a fantastic resource for me. I was kinda sorta considering Leaf, and then suddenly found myself adopting an orphan from Criswell Nissan in Germantown, Maryland. L1 charger is doing ok so far, except breaker flips if I plug in...
