    What do Current EVs use for thermal management on traction batteries?

    what do Current EVs use for thermal management on traction batteries? In the earlier days of 2010 and 2011, it was easy. The Nissan LEAF didn't have an active thermal management system while other EVs used liquid cooled systems including the Tesla made EVs and the GM Volt. However, the...

    Yazaki J1772 30A 25 feet cable is sold.

    This cable was sold for the asking price. I bought a few of these from a local EVSE installer and am told that it's new old stock. The handle looks a bit scratched up but the actual connector is new and unused. This is an industrial quality Yazaki J1772 cable with 10AWG wires and an 18AWG...

    I found this interesting EVSE that's 240V select-able from 6, 10, and 16A with a push of a button. It's also all in the J1772 handle - now that's portability! http://www.charge-amps.com/mobile-evse" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

    What kind of car do you have?!

    Since I got the LEAF in August, I've had a quite a few people ask me what kind of car is it and one person called it "striking" which I thought was amusing. I've also had people take photos of the car while parked even though San Diego seems to me to be LEAF haven. Of course, one person rolled...

    An ICE based car as a second car...

    There's been a lot of talk in the popular media about the LEAF as a second car but for many of us on this forum, our LEAFs are our primary car. In fact, I should think that ICE based cars ought to be second cars, not the other way around. For me, the LEAF is my daily driver and I have a bit of...

    Mossy Nissan Oceanside - a good experience!

    My story says that not all Mossy Nissans are created equal and Mossy Oceanside has my business for being open and above board. I ordered my LEAF (SL-e with the EV Project's included QC port) from Mossy Kearny Mesa (KM) on Clairemont Mesa BLVD and a while later KM had several orphan cars that...
