Would it be technically possible to make SC to CHAdeMO adapter? Tesla is doing this themselves, but the other way around, so that Model S owners can use CHAdeMO stations. From my meager understanding of the protocols and capabilities of the two standards I would think a SC adapter to plug into...

I am not suggesting buying a flood damaged car, however when considering such a choice I think one should take into consideration what the car was designed to endure and how it has been tested. If it were not flooded by salt water I think it might be worth considering. Take a look at the...

Adding another $0.02... Another item to consider is that the Juicebox can handle charging rates up to 60 amps. While it may not be the most cost effective solution to the likes of OpenEVSE, I do not know of any commercial EVSE units, with a similar feature set, that can handle that at an...

Never mind the note below, we just picked up two 2013 SL models! --------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't qualify for the VPP otherwise, but I was recently made aware that there is a special VPP for college educators specifically for the LEAF and LEAF only...

I was just curious, aside from being able to use an Arduino, what are the benefits (if any) of an Arduino version over the OpenEVSE version? I would imagine it is possible to add additional functions more easily. I was thinking, this is overkill for the LEAF's present charger, but perhaps we...

Try using white vinegar in a spray bottle and then wipe it off. It works wonders on brake dust covered wheels! I used to work at a car dealership when I was a teenager and we used all sorts of crazy chemicals to detail the cars. I don't think any of them worked as well for cleaning the wheels...

We will be trading or selling a 2009 Subaru Forester XT. My other car is a small two seater (which needs some work and will eventually be converted to an EV), so the LEAF is going to become our primary family car for myself, wife, and baby. We can always borrow an ICE car from a relative for a...

We haven't actually placed the order for the LEAF (we are debating whether we should wait for the 2013 model or not), but I thought the LEAF comes with alloy wheels as a standard feature? If so, you wouldn't be able to use these wheel covers as they are meant for plain steel rims. I do like...

For me, it isn't a question of low does the price of gas have get for me to switch back, it is how much will you pay me to switch back. No amount of money is going to make up for the damage using gasoline and foreign oil causes. No amount of money is going to get me to switch. When our LEAF...

I thought you might find this forum posting interesting, a DIY A123 based pack to replace the lead acid battery: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f/453774-what-you-guys-think-of-my-3-5-pound-battery.html Someone should really commercialize a Li-Ion based 12 volt battery replacement.
