    Mods for the Blink EVSE ! (was Fix)

    Yeah, thanks. Lobotomizing the unit is an option that I will use if needed with the added advantage of lower standby current. I do like having the so called "higher functions" though. I'm on TOU2 in San Diego so I like having the double redundancy with both timers to not accidentally charge...

    Mods for the Blink EVSE ! (was Fix)

    Hi All. I have tried all the remedies posted here and still get the fault-- Pink Screen of Death (PSOD)! I have to power cycle the unit at my breaker panel or unplug and plug the unit back in at the 6-50 outlet. Sometimes it takes two tries to get it to clear. Very annoying! There should...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    I went to the SDSU parking info booth near Peterson gym today and asked if we are allowed to charge in a FS (Faculty Staff) lot if we are not an FS. They told me that no we are not allowed unless we have a FS sticker. I told them that is very unfortunate as there are only three DCQC units in...

    Hey did you see that commercial during the orange bowl?

    Didn't know where to post this but I just watched an episode of Hawaii 5-0 from a couple weeks ago and lo and behold, a blue Leaf was driven by someone on the show coming to pick up a suspect at his hotel!! I couldn't believe my eyes. First time I've seen an EV on any TV show. Hopefully...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    I went to the Walgreens at Midway and Rosecrans to get a charge on Feb 5th and found the plug was broken. I was able to plug it in anyway, but the charger stuck at "Waiting for Vehicle" and never initiated a charge. It is a ChargePro and I didn't have the phone number to report it. I have a...

    J1772 not fitting in socket.

    My problem was on the Leaf itself. The receptacle was replaced. After it was replaced, the problem went away.

    J1772 not fitting in socket.

    I had a similar problem. See my post: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6336&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Mine was not related to the O-ring. Nissan replaced the connector and I still don't know what the problem was. Probably some dimension was...

    Official Tesla Model S thread

    FYI: I am a Leaf owner and have ordered a Tesla model S. I was wondering what the insurance would be for the 85kWh non-performance model. I have Geico and am paying $307 for 6 months on the Leaf for 4000 mi/yr, $300K/500K, 100K and $500 deductible for coll and comp. Putting the same...

    iPhone/Portable Player Owners' easy tip for better audio

    Thanks for the post! I had no idea the iPhone had that setting. I never thought to look, thinking the phone was not that sophisticated. I'm surprised. I'll try it on my Leaf, agreeing that the stock speakers are not very good. I wonder what the frequency response is for the sound system...

    Next San Diego EVent: Sat, Aug 9, 2014, CANCELLED

    Count me in! I have 54 miles one way from Point Loma. My Leaf is 15 months old but less than 6000 mi. All 12 capacity bars. I'll definitely need to charge somewhere.... on the way back preferably if not available at Santa Ysabel. Google says the trip is about 90 minutes (in an ICE) so Let's...

    What to do in Seattle?

    For the EV enthusiast, there is a Tesla showroom in Bellevue, near Seattle. Last June they had a model S prototype for viewing (not for driving). I'm sorry I missed it then. I wonder if they have a production one yet.

    What to do in Seattle?

    We were very disappointed with this exhibit. We worked our way through it and were expecting to actually see King Tut but they only have a video at the end. There are some ancient artifacts but we felt it was misrepresented.

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    I had an interesting/amusing discussion with a parking enforcement officer at SDSU regarding the EV parking there. She said the requirement is for an EV to be plugged in while parked there. I asked her if they have cited anyone parking in the EV spots. She said that a few times, ICE cars...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    Thanks Randy for checking. Hopefully, they will follow the leads of SDSU and Mesa College. drees: Good point about using the Nissan dealer at Oceanside. Might be OK occasionally but not for a regular class schedule. I wonder if I could plug in L1 somewhere at the college. I would have to...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    Does anyone know if Mira Costa College is planning charging stations? I would like to take classes there but round trip from Point Loma might be out of range.

    Electric drive vehicle credit 8936 decreased/rejected by IRS

    What all of this has taught me is to cut my tax witholding down to the bare minimum but enough to escape a underwitholding penalty. That way, I am not waiting for refunds like a lot of folks on this forum have been doing. Last year, I owed the IRS less than $100. No penalty and I wasn't...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    I just wanted to post that I went to the Walgreens at Midway and Rosecrans and found the charging station was up and running! I talked to the manager to give him feedback to reward him for putting in the charger. I told him that was the reason I was shopping there. Probably a good thing for...

    QC Trip Report: Seattle to Portland

    Yes, this sounds like a good idea. I seem to remember that those with storage, whether it be battery or capacitor are very expensive, for some reason. I'd like to understand the problem a lot more from an engineering perspective and logistically and financially why QC is easier to do in the...
