    Charging Etiquette - What Would You Recommend?

    At my work we changed out the 6.6 chargers to shared 6.6 KW shared for 2 cars. This helped add EVSE for more EVs . The day is 8 hours long, if the bolt or MS/3/X need a lot of range park next to a Prius. This helped. If the lot is closed and parking is by permit, find the new owner, ask what...

    Do you think this Leaf will meet my needs? (SOLVED!)

    The problem that I have seen with the EVs for low income buyers, is that the a few dealers are targeting that market. They buy the lowest car to qualify for the program. Then charge as much as they can for it. I talked if a gal charging at the Bakersfield Nissan that bought from car max on the...

    Direct DC Charging with Solar Panel

    There was a solar powered DC fast charger powers by solar panels in Twentynine palms. The unit charged directly off the panels, and the rate would change with clouds and output of the panels. The DC charger is closed now but i am sure the owner is still there and has a lot of info.I think his...

I bought my leaf with out a SD card, the...

    Recommendations for light-duty commercial EVSEs

    The Juice Box was nice that we could put 4 chargers on a 50 amp circuit , charge 4 cars and as one car was "full" the amps would be sent to the remaining cars until all were "full" for us this would fill the most cars over a shift with out having to add more power, or move cars around. It also...

    Meter for Wall Plug

    Juice Box pro can do that. the HOA could pull the KWH and time of use,them self with a wifi connection it would be easy for everyone. The EVSE is easy to install and works on 120 VAC or 240VAC and you can turn it off with your cell phone. If in CA there is money and lower rates for EV charging...

    Recommendations for light-duty commercial EVSEs

    So the challenge is to have a cord that can be changed as they get damaged, are UL listed for safety and law suits. The e motor works are nice and can be regulated for shared circuits and it is easy to add more EVSE later with out adding circuits. E works has data tracking and controls for...

    Dramatic Ahr rise after quick charge?

    Time to start driving more if miles are not close. The battery needs to be cycled and hold the battery at full as much as you can. If you drove the battery low then brought it high that will get a better AH reading. Park the car at work with the heater on pull the pack low then fast charge at...

    How to get more charging stations.

    In CA. with all of the EVs that are here, it is still a hard to see the up side to sponsor a charging station. The 4 j1772 chargers down the street from my house were removed. EV owners would drop their cars at night in the hospital parking lot for free fuel then get a ride home. The operators...

    Any idea what it costs to charge at a CHAdeMO station at a Wal-Mart?

    The charging thing is all about cost. Are you doing this trip? If so what route are you taking and what stops are you going to use? this looked like a hard trip to do. It would be nice to see your route, and KWH you think you will have for each leg? Do you want to share?

    Anyone crazy enough to drive from SF Bay to Disneyland?

    I have notes on the trip if you want. I have done SF from LA 1 time and Fresno a few times. It is not hard just long. The key is the grapevine if the station is out at Gorman it is a slow trip from Bakersfield. I/m me if you want the notes.

    Any idea what it costs to charge at a CHAdeMO station at a Wal-Mart?

    if this is your first trip in a leaf it would take a bit of planning. do you have a L2 EVES that has a plug? Leadville looks safer just slower, at 6.6 kw charging ,that helps. Monarch Mountain would not help with some power? that would help on the hill. leadville then out to copper MT . looks...
