A recent power outage appears to have corrupted my Blink. It no longer boots, and I get the EV Project splash screen, then "No Linux, Try CE" Blink support says I have to have a contractor come out and fix it, they won't sell just the SD card. Unfortunately, I am out of warranty. I have...

Since I am not an RV'er, I knew nothing about the ins and outs of using an RV park for charging purposes. However, there are dozens of RV parks about 35 - 70 miles from me, that potentially would extend the range of my Leaf. I love how the Leaf drives, and my only complaint is that I can't go...

If you have driven on Route 66, the halfway point is in Adrian, Texas. While at Midpoint, there were numerous tourists for foreign countries (the Germans seem to love Rt 66) and about 10 bikers. The bikers spotted the Leaf first, and were amazed to see an electric car way out here in the...
