Just installed new front door speakers in my 2011 (thanks everybody!). Not sure they are wired correctly, not sure of the polarity: 1) http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3308 2) http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=5908&hilit=replacement+speakers&start=50 3)...

I previously reported a GFI issue using a Chargepoint L1 receptacle. As suggested by someone, somewhere in this forum, I measured leakage current (using supplied Panasonic EVSE - upgraded). Result was apparently normal, around 2ma.. Howard

Same thing happened to me -- ground fault using a Chargepoint L1 (i.e. 5-15R) EVSE...

Great ideas! Note that weatherproof cable reels are big and expensive: http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=8842" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Plus, I suspect it sounds like the Batmobile! ('wonder about fuel consumption, though...)

Submitted application around 9/18, received check yesterday (12/5). Thanks!

There's also the Borg Warner unit: http://www.borgwarner.com/en/Drivetrain/products/Literature/eGearDrive%20Product%20Sheet.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Plugged the Blink into the Leaf at lunch time today, the Blink displayed "Not Charging" but the Leaf was indeed charging, as evidenced by the Leaf's blue blinky lights and 4.2kWh draw on the meter (dropped to .5kWh once the J1772 connector was removed).

I read the the advice letter, many of the protests, and PG&E's response (recently posted, dated 11/14/2011). All that I can say is this: Electrical rate should reflect cost of producing electricity. 1) Rate "tiers", ones not associated with actual cost, means someone is subsiding someone else...

Apparently in CA one has three months (was six) to get new plates: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/28/how-steve-jobs-got-away-with-not-having-a-license-plate/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Happened to me -- I requested the dealer (Serramonte) expedite, they did so and indicated best would be if I pick up the plates at the dealer -- got a call 10(?) days later and did so.

Phil, How 'bout rev 3 -- install a 12 <-> 16 amp switch!? Howard

I got one.. Great but the batteries lasted three weeks!

If you're really concerned about that puny Leaf battery, check out the battery tray -- it appears capable of holding a significantly larger battery!

I also upgraded with the two horn Fiamm El Grande solution. It works -- is apparently louder -- but sounds like... well.. your garden variety chevy impala! (Not that there's anything wrong with that!). Good value, though. Thanks!

I replaced the male plug on the L6-20R - 5-15p adapter cord I got from Phil with a GFCI plug (such as: http://amzn.com/B00207H5F4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) plus purchased a 240vac inline GFCIwhen operating at that voltage: http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=13922"...

Drive over the cords -- I haven't actually needed to do this yet but I carry a rubber strip salvaged from an old bicycle inner tube to wrap the cords for protection..

Good idea but I'll stow them -- they could conceivably fly off and become missiles in the event of a significant rear end collision....

Thanks!

Just for grins and giggles, I plugged my Nissan (upgraded) EVSE into my generator.. (even though I don't think my generator has the capacity). Didn't work -- green light was blinking - lack of ground(?). Any ideas? Thanks! Regards, Howard
