Here is a screen shot of Scan my Tesla. The part that confuses me is why does it say SOC is 130%, do I need to somehow reset it when it is at 100% or ?, the same thing with useable remaining of 67.6 kWh, when right next to that is new pack was 62.6 kWh. Oh and on the bottom left is the 6.71%...

So what is the difference between the Ecopia EP422 Plus 4-rib or 5-rib? I understand their are 4 or 5 general ribs on the tread of the tire. I am looking at them for out VW and it is tire size 195/65R15 and they come in both options. The 5 rib is listed as "Volkswagen" and it $5 more but is...

This is an odd one. First let me say I am not a licensed electrician, but have done a LOT of electrical work. I was looking at an outlet at a friends garage. They have an outlet that is 240vac that runs to a 30 amp breaker, they said it used to have a large 240vac compressor plugged in to it...

I am considering getting a third EVSE. The reason is I would like to be able to use our excess solar power to charge the car and my inverter is rated at 6 kw so even with the minimal house loads I have no room left to run the clipper creek HSC-40. I have been using the trickle charger, but it...

Just for fun I did some math January Leaf- 963 miles - $21.85 - $.0227/mile - 92.63 mpg-e TDI - 922 miles - $51.42 - $.0558/mile - 46.49 mpg van - 580 miles - $57.80 - $.0997/mile - 20.65 mpg The van we primarily use to go to swim meets where all 6 of us go, we don't fit in the TDI or leaf and...

So the "Battery life - Charge to 80% or 100%" thread got me to thinking. Is there any evidence that charging at 1.2, 3.3 or 6 is better one way or another? Ignoring the speed of charge or the ability to pre-heat / cool the cabin in the equation, in other words if you had any options available...

So I want to get a larger 12v lead acid battery to put in the leaf. Does anyone know what the largest stock size lead acid battery that would fit in the existing holder?

I have a Clipper Creek HSC-40 and have had it since April of this year. The unit is inside an attached garage with the car inside as well. I have the charge timer set on our S to be done by 7:30 AM and this has worked out great. About a month ago I came out to the car to find the two lower...

I know this isn't likely, but we have the Clipper Creek HSC-40 and it works great. The thing is we have 3kw of solar panels and a 6kw inverter (xantrex xw6048) / battery setup for most of the loads in our house. So I am wondering if I can somehow "dial back" the evse, either on the car end or...

So our bluetooth was working fine to our cells and now it just stopped working. The phones don't see any bluetooth when the car is on, well it did see the OBDII bluetooth so I unplugged that thinking they were somehow conflicting but still nothing. When I press and hold the phone button it...

Going in to this, we thought we would like the car and use it about for about half of our mileage, we are using it more than either of our other two cars and more than my wife or I imagined. I think for us that was the biggest surprise, how capable the car is and how "use-able" it is and that...

I have to share this, mostly because most other people wouldn't get it. I was on may way to pick up some home supply stuff and driving in a four lane divided road, I saw a car a ways back in the left lane slowly catching up with me, didn't think much of it. I went around a small curve and the...

I am relatively new to this, but familiar with charging larger battery banks. We have a 24kw SLA battery bank running at 48v feeding a xantrex 6048 inverter with our solar PV setup. Anyway for our first week used used the level 1 120v charger and looking at the kwh used and now using the...

I just got my level 2 evse in last night and it is nice :) While it was charging I jumped in and turned the heater on and it worked great, nice and warm. So this morning, it was fully charged, my wife had to run and pick up one of our boys so I "started" it still plugged in and turned the...
