If you have already been on the EPEV experimental rate for at least a year, I understand that you can opt out of that rate schedule and have the second meter removed. At that point, you would be on a single rate schedule (EV-TOU2) for home and EV charging. But, if one decides to stay on the...

Thanks for the info Randy. If one chooses EV-TOU2 (if it is an option at the time), there would be no need for the second meter anymore. Would the second meter be physically removed in that case or would it just be deactivated by SDG&E resulting in only one electric bill for the entire house...

When the EV Project is concluded will the three SDG&E experimental rates continue for those that have a separate meter installed? If not, will the second meter have to use the existing EV-TOU rates or will some other rate be offered?

I see the option to enable CARWINGS but where is the VIN shown?

Someone posted earlier that I could just invite a friend over with their Leaf to charge on my EVSE, before I get my Leaf. If I have to pay SDG&E $6 for a month of non use, why not just invite a friend over to the house to have a beer and charge their Leaf. Is this "permitted" or are there any...

OK, I get it. Thanks. It is unlikely that the second meter will be installed more than one month prior to getting the Leaf. So as long as I charge the vehicle once within the 30 day billing period after the meter is installed, the minimum charge would be met and there would be no charges...

Did you get your second meter installed prior to taking delivery of your Leaf? If you did, can you check your SDG&E bill to see if there is a charge equivalent to $.17 per day? The SDG&E guy clearly stated that the charge per day would only be up until charging begins. Good idea about the...

Thanks wsbca. The SDG&E guy didn't mention the option to not have a second meter today, and he knew that I have net metering with solar. I guess he just assumed I wouldn't be interested in it. But I have been thinking of going to EV-TOU-2 for the entire house, including EV. The Super Off...

Sorry, I should have posted the link to the previous post I was talking about. Here it is: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2017&hilit=cpuc I think the charging data for the EV Project would still be available through the Blink's Internet connection to EcoTality. I thought the...

Is there anyone that is serviced by SDG&E that is participating in the EV Project but does NOT have a second dedicated meter installed by SDG&E to measure the EV electricity consumption? Someone posted a message earlier in this thread that said SDG&E is allowing EV Project participants to not...

I presently have the GE non-smart meter from SDG&E for use with Net Metering and DR-SES rate schedule (Time-of-use). I'm trying to wrap my head around how the deductive billing process works with two different TOU rate schedules in use. What I mean is that the home is on a different time of...

Are there any new Leaf owners in San Diego that are NOT participating in the EV Project, and have solar energy, and are using SDG&E schedule EV-TOU-2? This EV rate schedule does not require a separate meter so it applies to the entire house electricity usage. It isn't clear to me whether this...

The other big difference in California is that the Volt is not granted access to the HOV lanes at the present time. GM purposely did not pursue certification as an enhanced ATPZEV, and does not plan to do so until the 2013 model year. I don't know if that means that the 2011 and 2012 model...

Would other Leaf owners please post to this thread with your range experiences? I think this would be a valuable thread for people that may be considering the purchase of a Leaf.
