    JuiceBox? Are they Legitimate

    http://www.emotorwerks.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I know there are a few folks here on mnl who have doubled their 3.5kW charging capability. I can't tell if this is a similar process or not. So - has anyone heard of these folks. I used the search tool and couldn't...

    Saw My First O.C. Chademo / Frankenplug Combo Unit

    I was on Irvine Blvd at the toll road exit looking at plugshare ... saw it pop up so I gave it a try: I laid the SAE unit across the concrete poll just so folks could check it out in the picture. I think this means there are now officially more SAE units available than cars that can use them...

    The New Charcoal Metallic Color - Do you Like it?

    Saw my 1st one at the Dealer. I liked it, personally. It's only a phone pic - and it appeared a tad darker in person. .

    Another quick charger for Southern California

    Woohoo !!! Connell Nissan reports (via email ) that their chademo is up and running! Visiting my folks in Bellflower from deep in South Orange County just got a whole lot easier. Next time I'm (heading north on the 405 then) on the 605 freeway driving north of Lakewood - I'll be stopping by...

    Saw my 1st TWO 6kw Leafs Today !!

    Mighty expensive - $38k :o This was at Tustin (CA) arond 2:45pm. They'd only pulled one of the 3 6kw models off the carrier - but it looks like availability is under way ! Two are/were tow black ones, and one silver (which was already off the trailer before I could snap the pic). I do...

    The SCE CHADEMO (teaser)

    Ok LA, San Berdu, OC, & San Dego county people - did I get your attention? Do you recognize the Leaf's display below, showing the QC Icon off Irwindale AV and the 210 Freeway? No? ;) That's where I charged today - Southern California Edison. They have LOTS of chargers. Seems SCE...

    Leaf on Show at our So Cal Costco

    Anybody else ever seen the Leaf at their Costco? Sure surprised me . . . normally I'm only finding Caddy SUV's and many other land barges in front of Costco. I didn't ask what the discount was . . . . but I noticed the Leaf came from the local - Irvine dealership. Funny thing is Costco has...

    So Cal Edison Wants your Opinion

    Okay maybe they won't want your opinion - after you tell them they're screwed up for not helping us get Chademo quick Chargers to be more easily installed and economically operated. But here's the link that'LLC possibly give you a chance to voice your thoughts...

    Nissan Santa Rosa's QC - Up & Running?

    According to the PlugShare data base - it is!! I'm wondering if it's Nissan's own $9,000 model ... And do employees get a price break on the purchase price? If so, heck, my wife would love me to get a 2nd job - :D .

    Traction Battery Death

    Eventually it WILL happen . . . only we're already trained to call it "Capacity Loss". At some point, it's too much . . . . and we'll need a new pack. With all the talk of Arizona owners' capacity loss, one may start thinking, "What's my traction pack's scrap value worth". Nissan talks about...

    Quick Charging, and the Guess-O-Meter

    Sure, it's as inaccurate as all get out . . . but has anyone else noticed what happens if your Leaf is charging while powered on ... that when the QC is ready to stop (full to 80%) - the Guess-O-Meter shows several miles more range then you'd expect it to normally show? We're averaging 5 miles...

    Want to Quick Charge? Move to Texas

    Does the thought of a QC install get you to whining about a 5 figure electric bill? Is SD power and SCE puttin' the hurt on running a Chademo? You don't buy it - that the so cal utility companies need that kind of scratch to deliver 20kW plus? Seems to me the the good folks in Texas would...

    What's In Your Leaf?

    Spare flares? ... Walking/tennis shoes? Blanket? Flash light? Extra drinking water? First aid kit? With range and weight being inextricably linked, it's hard to have as much stuff kept in your Leaf as you may want. What kind of stuff do you keep in your Leaf, in case of emergency ... or...
