    Thoughts on keeping leaf vs upgrading

    Greetings from Washington State. I am in a similar situation with my 2013 SV Premium. I lost the first bar a month ago at 40K miles. I think it is better to deal with problems earlier than later. So, I do not plan to wait much longer to upgrade. I am disappointed in the slow development of the...

    Carcharging/Blink Reduces resedential EVSE's to 24Amp.

    Yes, it is noticeable. Nothing dramatic, but enough for me to do the work necessary to get the other blink up to full capacity. I realize I'm using a cheesy Harbor Freight clamp on meter, so hold any criticisms of the test equipment. I don't use them enough to warrant a Fluke. That said, my...

    Carcharging/Blink Reduces resedential EVSE's to 24Amp.

    A giant thank you for providing these files. The Blink EVSE is now back up to 30A. Going from 24A to 30A may not seem like much, but it is noticeable and that's what counts.

    Carcharging/Blink Reduces resedential EVSE's to 24Amp.

    Greetings I have two older Blink chargers. I have removed the crappy REMA plugs and installed Dostar and Yazaki. They work well. I lobotomized both chargers for various reasons. I simply like the fact that they start up faster and I never use any features. I bought a clamp on amp meter from...

    EVSEUpgrade max current

    Final update: There are compelling reasons to want 16A@120V. This is what I was seeking. Unfortunately, the Rev3 does not provide it. Fortunately, I had an old Rev2 hanging around. I just tested it. It always provides 16A for both 120V and 240V. This what I'll put in the trunk of my car. Yes...

    EVSEUpgrade max current

    I spoke with evseupgrade. Disappointing information. Apparently the sticker on the unit applies to all units including european models. The US models are limited to 12A@120V. Quite a shame. They are also limited to 20A@240V. Understandable. Looks like an openevse is in my future to get at...

    EVSEUpgrade max current

    I appreciate the ampacity comments. However, they do not address the question, How to program the EVSE for 120V@16A. It simply stops at 12A. Going above 20A does spark debate. Recall that the 80% of the ampacity is for 3 hours or more. Simply charging for shorter time periods would allow for...

    EVSEUpgrade max current

    Greetings: I have acquired an EVSEUprade. I think it is a Rev3. The sticker on the back states maximum current for 120V is 16A, typically 12A, and for 240V is 24A, typically 20A. The most I can program is 120V @ 12A and 240V @20A. Naturally, I'd like to have access to more current. Any...

    Need to swap my EVSE upgrade for stock 110v Charger

    I have a stock 2013 EVSE. I'd like to swap. How do you want to do this? I'm in Edmonds, WA.
