What if you valet park, but forget to give them your key while the car is still running. The car is still drivable, right? Is there a limit as to how long or far the car will run after the key is taken out of range?

What shaded area are you referring to?

Rate schedule EV was recently released. Anyone notice a difference after switching from rate E9, the old electric vehicle rate? I'm not sure if the PG&E calculator is accurate, looking for actual real world experiences. How many miles do you Leaf daily?

Is there a way to access the main pack? Seems there's a lot more capacity there.

I'm assuming this accesses power from the main battery, not the accessory battery, right?

I'd like to plug in my laptop while in my car. Is there some kind of outlet in the car so I can tap into the battery power? Do I need any special adapter?

The federal and state gas taxes are too low to bring in enough revenue to maintain roads and bridges and have been unchanged for 20 years. Let's call our representatives to raise the gas tax. It won't affect us too much, and will also help with faster adoption of EVs.

Thanks. So it will stop charging according to the timer even if I "charge now?"

If you "charge now" with Carwings, does it affect your charging schedule timer, or will it stop when your timer is set to? Also, how do you stop charging via Carwings?

Thanks for letting me know. I updated the link.

Here's an web submission form to request free charging stations at your local Costco. Side benefit is the improved likelihood of finding a space! The more people that they hear from, the more likely they will implement. https://ems02071lb.egain.net/system/web/custom/CostcoInitialPage.jsp"...

Did a 24-month lease on an SL. I was under time pressure because I wanted to get the free L2 charger/install for California before they ran out, so I paid $6,500 total for the lease. Thanks to Ron for his kind support.

Recently leased an SL but I dislike the reverse beeping that only serves to warn my garage walls every day that I'm home. Is there an easy way to disable it?

I'm interested in the 40 amper from Leviton, the EVB40-SPT. Description says it has a "tool-less" installation. But some people say you should buy the separate $100 mounting kit. Isn't it possible to wall mount it in your garage without buying the extra kit? What is the kit for?

That's a nice 40 amper. I'm thinking of buying it. Is it easy to wall mount? Are all installation materials included with Leviton EVSEs? I'm not a good DIYer.

For portability I am considering the plug-in type, which it sounds like you're against. Would having a GFCI in the outlet make you more supportive of this type? Leviton's website says a GFCI isn't needed in the outlet, so I'm a little confused (2nd question on the page...

Thanks Mike. So if I understand correctly, the risk is of equipment damage, not bodily injury, right?

Doesn't your auto insurance cover that?

From quotes I'm getting, the total lease cost of drive-off + monthly payments is less with more money you put down upfront. This suggests the cheapest lease is to pay everything upfront and have zero monthly payment. You also save in California because the state only taxes the monthly payment (I...

Does power flow through EVSEs when not charging a car? Is there any risk of electrocution for a child playing with one, whether charging a car or not? I'm wondering if It would help to have the 240V have a GFCI.
