    I have a doner bumper- want to mod it

    I was looking to make the Leaf's bumper more aggressive. There are a few examples out there that I was going to use as an inspiration. But I am really not sure how to go about it. I'm going to use the doner bumper to make a foam mold, that I will later shape. But what kind of material do I...

    charging on generator

    What if an individual purchased engineer's range extender... but rather than connecting it to AC line, you charged the "extender" with a generator?

    charging on generator

    Would this work to link two generators together to build a 240v outlet? http://www.quick220.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I think the Honda eu2000i are non-GFI

    got the GE Wattstation software fix installed on the leaf. Will start using it again.

    it should be fine since the nissan leaf software issue occurs only if the wattstation was previously turned off. I doubt that public watt stations are ever powered down.

    I've had to replace the wattstations fuse once. And the 40amp breaker would trip.

    Yes. But isn't the height of the wave a measure of its amplitude?

    GE WattStation Problem Thread (Was: Dead on Day 2 of use.)

    Right. I would use it all the time. It would be interesting to know if everyone else on this thread (who have had similar problems) used the on/off button as well.

    GE WattStation Problem Thread (Was: Dead on Day 2 of use.)

    I had another visit from the engineers from Japan. They explained the cause... and while I was not able to completely understand the explination, I'll relay the information I can remember. It has something to do with the power button. If you turn the wattstation off quickly after disconnecting...

    GE WattStation Problem Thread (Was: Dead on Day 2 of use.)

    I'm just telling you what the Nissan engineer told me. They took responsibility for the problem. I can charge just fine with the modified trickle charger, but when the leaf and the wattstation combine forces it trips the 40 amp breaker and destroys the onboard charger. I'm fine with being...

    GE WattStation Problem Thread (Was: Dead on Day 2 of use.)

    (Update) Nissan has replaced the onboard charger twice now. The dealership accepted my claim without hesitation. I was provided a rental vehicle both times. Anyone who has a problem with the Wattstation and the leaf- who can't get service- should go over the dealer's head to speak with a...

    GE WattStation Problem Thread (Was: Dead on Day 2 of use.)

    There was no reason to think there was. The wattstation turned on normally, I plugged it into the car. It cycled. Then the breaker tripped. I then turned the circuit back on when the evse was still plugged in. I normally don't do that. the watt station tried to turn back on right away since it...

    An aftermarket kit to improve charging to 6.6kW

    By saying, "fast on board charger" are you talking about something for the European market? From what I understand (which is very little... I'm learning :) ) US outlets serve out single phase 110v or 220v outlets. There isn't much use for an inboard charger at that high a scale since there isn't...

    An aftermarket kit to improve charging to 6.6kW

    The thing is, I live in fort Bragg NC. QC are few and far between anywhere I want to go. Typically, I'll drive to wrightsville beach or myrtle beach on the weekends.. but a 6 hour recharge to reach my destination is a buzz kill. A 3 hour recharge would be fine and significantly increase the...
