It seems likely that different battery chemistry would give different readings. Since the % number is interpolated from other numbers, the software in the gid meter probably needs an update. But I'm totally guessing here, since I've never had a gid meter and don't even have my LEAF anymore...

I don't know how long this is good for, buy this looks like a decent kit for dirt cheap:

AFAIK, and I'm sure Tony could confirm, Tesla's L2 charging protocol *is* J1772 already - it's only the physical plug form factor that's different. That's why a J1772-to-Tesla adapter is possible (and ships with every Tesla). Their HPWC is essentially an 80A J1172 EVSE, all you need to do is...

That happens after a system reset. Roll the window up and hold it up for about five seconds. Auto up should start working again. Not sure why it does that, but it does.

I don't think so. You may well have tripped a safety code. Try the 12v reset.

There is also a fuse box on the left hand side of the dashboard panel. It's hidden by the door when closed. Did you check in there? And the one under the hood? If so, maybe try a system reset by disconnecting the negative terminal from the 12v battery for a few minutes and reconnect. EVs in...

I don't know for sure. The service manual only specifies that it's 12V. Since its only purpose is to drive the ignition relay, my guess is not much. Fortunately, LED kits such as this don't take much power - the kit I used is rated at a scant 0.7W. I wouldn't try to do anything else with it.

You seem to be totally overthinking this one. I would interpret the "advanced replacement units" to be poor grammar, nothing more. I'm pretty sure they mean "advance replacement units" in that they are sent to you in advance of you replacing them. By "an email should follow" they mean "you will...

I love this idea! I'd like to see some of the cooler designs picked up an offered for sale. I'd totally have a steampunk EVSE if I could buy one. Particularly if it were 80A. ;)

Ingineer, the guy behind the "EVSE Upgrade" you hear so much about here, usually has plenty of informative things to say about such systems. If he doesn't chime in here, you can always check his back catalog: :D...

At least have the decency to plug-in and PRETEND to be charging... Sheesh! :roll:

Vehicle ground is any bare metal bit on the chassis. Find an exposed bolt loosen it and hook it under there and cinch down again. I'm not sure if they would consider an electric to be like a hybrid or like as regular car though. Maybe call and ask them? There's probably a technical support...

The California Clean Vehicle Rebate Program is now limited to a maximum of two rebates per entity/ person: https://energycenter.org/clean-vehicle-rebate-project/faqs/how-many-rebates-can-i-receive" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are some serious bugs with the music player in iOS 8. I have similar problems with my iPhone 6+ over Bluetooth with my Tesla.

I agree 100%. While I am a fan of ChargePoint for what they've accomplished thus far and the overall quality of their offerings, I was disappointed by their email opposing this move PG&E. I did not sign it and nearly sent them a nasty retort, but refrained. Perhaps we should start a counter...
