MY . . . what a BIG HOSE I messed with today !!
(I feel so naughty ... and I took pictures - enjoy the view!)
Yes, such a big hose . . . that my assistant had to hand it to me
:lol:
It was quite an experience today ... clunking that big ol' locking lever onto the as yet - UNUSED PORT ! But now? The big port has become usefull -
Oh yea! . . . I love the look of the little red light, built onto the head of that monster hose. I love the sound of the big voltage and big amps, ramping up a fan that sounds like a piper cub revving up for takeoff. Anyway ... this went so fast, I hardly had time to appreciate it. Below is a shot just after the charger completed its handshake with our Leaf:
Before I knew it ... the dang thing had charged me up from about 38% to 69%-70% ... a whopping SEVEN (count 'em) minutes! I could actually watch the little meter (below) moving right along - amazing.
I charged for just a few minutes more and disconnected early, at just 76%. It's hard for me to accept such overwhelming graciousness ... and so I naturally ingratiated all over my host. Below is my favorite ... shot of the solar array that runs the place. WOW
btw ... once your map program "sees" the charger ... it'll look a bit different from the usual plugs - it's a full blown charger !
Boomer23 reported a comment from the Mitsubishi ev engineer during the Cerritos meet up. He said once you use it? ... it's like crack ... you can never go back. I think I know what he's talking about.
