    At the current burn rate, it looks like the CVRP rebate (California) of $2500 for BEV ($2,210,774 as of now) will be exhausted in the next 7 days or so. New funding, if any, will only come in the next fiscal year.

    10W to run Blink EVSE, ~0W to run OpenEVSE

    So, I just added a new MTU to my TED 5000 setup to measure the power consumption of both the Blink EVSE (obtained as part of the EV project) and the OpenEVSE. With the OpenEVSE in standby, the TED 5000 reports 0W (basically too small to be measured). With the Blink EVSE, it reports 10W. Talk...

    Ex Leaf-owner club (Why we gave up on Nissan Leaf)

    So, who has turned in or sold their LEAF (and did not get another LEAF as replacement)? What is the replacement car? I will start with mine. I sold my 2011 LEAF SL/QC in 2/2014 and bought the 2014 Volt. The LEAF was bought on a pre-order, amidst much excitement and anticipation. Trentr and...

    Timer for EVSE?

    I am investigating putting a timer on a "dumb" EVSE, e.g. the Clipper Creek LCS-25 (30A circuit, 20A charging current). Would one of these designed for the pool pump / water heater work...

    [CA only]Sales tax and VLF expected to drop 1.5% on 7/1/11

    California's sales tax to revert to 2008 levels on 7/1/2011 In case you missed it, CA's sales tax is slated to revert back to 2008 levels (1% less) on 7/1/2011. It looks very unlikely that the higher tax will be extended in time for 7/1. So if somehow your delivery gets pushed a few days into...

    Do you have L2 EVSE at your workplace?

    I sent the following email to facilities department and the CTO today: I received a reply about 10 minutes later -- three chargers are currently being installed and will be complete in two weeks. It was delayed by some parts from Japan. Hurray! :D

    Grid-tied PV system with battery backup

    Solar Panels

    I know many would-be Leafers also have solar panels. I am in the process of putting them up. I have been given a choice of Canadian Solar panels or DelSolar panels. Does anyone know if one is preferred over the other? Thanks.
