Yes. About the dehumidifier though. It seems the "operating temperature" of dehumidifiers is typically somewhat limited. E.g this dehumidifer: "Temperature operating range: 5 - 32 °C" https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0026P6OMA/ Is this true? Will the dehumidifier pull out water below 5C? Or is it...

What about a cheap portable 120vac plug-in or battery-operated air conditioning unit, or heat pump? Or speaking of exhaled breath: what about a full body suit to trap body moisture? This would be in the style of the stillsuit of course (i.e., full body suits that hydrate for life on Dune, a...

Another quick question. For 6kw models, on the dash it shows three recharge times: 240v 6kw, 240v 3kw, and 120v. This seems to be showing in a number of models, that the 6kw and 3kw times are the same. Say, 1:30 for 6kw and 3kw and 2:00 for 120v. Is this correct? Wouldn't it be something like...

Indeed! Using PlugShare's website it is kind of neat to track down the EV charging network available from local colleges and universities. Cornell may have a few but they are not listed on PlugShare. A portion of a letter to the editor of Cornell's student newspaper the Cornell Daily Sun:

That would be a Tesla supercharger (http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/45480" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). It appears the only QCs in NY are within a 60-mile radius of NYC. Neither of the colleges currently offer level 2 or residential charging on plugshare.

Just curious as to why cold weather makes such a large impact on range? To Syracuse on small highways you have 2700 ft. ascent, 2700 ft. descent (per http://www.doogal.co.uk/RouteElevation.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). So 1.5kwh-.75kwh = .75kwh, times 2.7 (per 1000 ft.) ~=...

Wow. Thanks for these ideas and pictures! We are definitely going to consider this when choosing a vehicle.

Here was our messaging prior to visiting them in person...

Thanks for the replies! We are in Ithaca, NY. The car would be for daily 10-20 mile commuting. About monthly we would like to take a longer trip to surrounding areas: anywhere from 30 to 90 miles one way. Two or three times per year we would like a longer trip of about 150 miles. Right now the...

Hi all We just test drove a 2013 SV Leaf. Afterward we have the feeling that the interior feels very "economical." That is, the interior feels like it has a lot of low-end plastic-iness to it. Does anyone have a similar feeling about the interior? Are there other models/trims/years that are...

Hi all We are interested in a 2013 Leaf SV. The dealer has said that the car has the Quick Charge port. However, when looking at the car we notice that there is no port where the Quick Charge port ought to be. There is just a blank plastic empty spot where it looks like the Quick Charge port...

We are looking at the 2013/14 SV and SL but pretty much ignoring the S because it is too much work to ask every dealer with an S if their car has a Quick Charge and 6.6kW OBC. We are interested in having both the 6.6kW OBC and Quick Charge port. Most of the S-trim models on cars.com...

Lol :lol:

Speaking of wind power and autos... Of course a fan on the roof causes drag. But is there any fan that could lock if any drag force were present but be capable of unlocking when it determines that it would create no drag? Something like a very intelligent sail boat... On another topic... How...

Wow thank you very much for the fast responses! It was on the forum somewhere, just hard to remember where. And the search was not being help either, ha! :P

Hello Just looking at purchasing right now. If you buy the 2013 S without the CHAdeMO port installed is it possible to have it installed later? Would that change if the car has the 3.3 or 6.6 kW OBC? Maybe the part for this could be found from: a) Nissan, b) salvage, or c) third-party. Thanks!

Great explanation! So is there any way to make a CHAdeMO-compliant AC-to-CHAdeMO portable converter/charger? An 80a 240v=19320w which would go 0-80% in about the same time as a 50kW. Reference for this is ... somewhere.

Who might one contact regarding this type of permit approval?
