A funny thing happened to me this morning. I showed up at work, looked at the dash, and still had 190 miles of range left! Oh, well, I should mention, I just turned in my Leaf and leased a Chevy Bolt. :mrgreen: Sayonara range anxiety! Oh, and I'm certainly not going to miss that feeling I...

So, like many here, I've experienced the constant hassle of trying to find an open and functioning charge station when I need one. The other day, I went a Blink area, only to find that all stations were down. So, I drove across the street to the nrg EVgo station that had denied me last time...

One of my cheap plastic hub caps broke when I hit a pot hole in the carpool lane :( I think I remember someone posting that Nissan uses the same hub caps on the Leaf as on other Nissan models, but I can't find that thread in a search. What are my replacement options? What other models share...

I see that Zinc and Aluminum metal air batteries are becoming a reality, and Tesla even has a patent out on a Lithium Ion/Metal Air combo. This is looking like the beginning of what investors refer to as a "disruptive technology". It has the potential to not just make sweeping changes to the...

With my SUV, I put the key and remote in the hitchsafe when I surf. Looking inside the rear wheel well of my leaf, I see a place I can lock a realtor lockbox to do basically the same thing if I take it to the beach instead. The only problem is, now the remote is sitting on the car, so anyone...

So, I was stuck in completely stand still traffic the other day, with no carpool lane in sight, and I decided I wanted to watch a movie (at the next charge station of course). I looked around for a spot to prop up my phone, and it turns out that Nissan, in their infinite wisdom, knew that what...

I'm looking at my "bill" online at Blink. They charged me alright, despite claims that EZ Charge gives you 1 hour of free charging on the level 2 and 1/2 hour of free charging on the level 3 (but that's a different issue that I'm trying to resolve with the good folks at EZ Charge). Anyway...

I was reading posts about how the level 2 charger is supposed to be like 10% more efficient than the level 1. I run my level 1 charger through the Belkin WeMo, which tells me the energy usage. I've confirmed this with the RainForest device that talks to my smart meter, and further confirmed it...

OK, I give up. Every incentive I've read about online for installing an EVSE/Charger at home seems to have expired. I live in the San Diego area. Are there any incentives left?

On the advice of a friend who also has solar and an EV, we switched to the TOU2 plan. We had a positive usage of 90kWh for the billing period that just ended, and yet we still had a negative bill. No more tiers! I was told, specifically, by SDG&E that on TOU2, you are credited at the rate of...

The manual says something about not sitting in your car while it's charging if you have a pacemaker. I'm wondering what the EM exposure level is while these cars are charging. Is it safe? I like to eat my lunch in the car while I'm picking up a free, quick charge, but don't want to end up...

If I have a 240V EVSE that doesn't have a it's own built in timer, and I put a hanger for the cord on the outside garage wall (with the unit inside the garage), is that wire going to be on/hot or dangerous since the unit is always on? What I mean is, suppose my gardener is out there trimming...

I'm on SDG&E's time of use 2 plan (TOU2) and have solar. The 2015 Leaf 'S' that I'm leasing doesn't have the navigation system, which is apparently needed for the more sophisticated charge timers, and I'm using the level 1 charger that comes with it, combined with picking up some charge from...
