Full Title: "A Thought Experiment : Sacramento to Reno in a 2011 LEAF in Winter" Having been prompted via PM by a fellow MNL'er ... I undertook a quick & dirty (but fun) activity :) Route Profile ( The stops are public L2 EVSEs. ) The tough part is the almost 50 miles up the hill between...

My "Week With GIDs" ;-) Or "Giddy Week" if you prefer. Also cross-posted a link in a couple of other threads to this completed data report. And now it's "Geeks Go Hog Wild With Giddy Data". Have at it and figure out what you can. My apologies in advance as to the length of this post...

Been charging regularly on an SPX sponsored install of a Coulomb CT500. All ChargePoint stations (EVSEs) have a name (usually related to location or shopping mall name, etc) and station number assigned to them. Last night, after plugging in with 07:00am End-Only-Time, as usual, 25 minutes...

Just saw something new in CW ... tried to get a status update, but it failed. When I closed the window that shows the error message the "normal" window which shows the last successful update ... WASN'T (!) :shock: Instead of only showing me how long it had estimated the last time for...

Sunday 30-Oct-2011: ***SIGNIFICANT UPDATE*** (Also see today's post with details.) CVRP (sometime in last 2 weeks) has changed the page that tracks their applications/funds data. I have adjusted the table below retroactively back to July for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-2012 information...

1. Using the Nissan supplied unmodified Panasonic L1 EVSE to charge a Volt. No workee ! The orange "Charge" LED light blinks on the EVSE (and on the dash of the Volt) and a continuous clicking sound is heard from the EVSE in approximate sync with the LED. 2. Using the GM supplied unmodified...

I mentioned somewhere in another thread a couple days ago about a problem I experienced with the NAV. I had intended to give a more comprehensive report on the entire experience, but still have not found the time. So here goes, just on the NAV problem. On Saturday 3/12 I set off on an ECO...

Dear Nissan, I would not be offended if you labeled me “EVangelist”. To ensure my continued strong support of the Nissan LEAF, please consider the following a high-priority bug fix. Many hours were lost this past weekend while I had to recover from a self-inflicted low state-of-charge. I...

I am starting a new thread based on a question in the "RSS Feeds !!!" topic. So ... if you arrive at your charging spot ... do you need to turn your LEAF "OFF" before you plug in ? If you do, can you still get back in the car and enjoy music, RSS, etc ? Or do you have to turn it back "ON"...

What's the level of interest of Northern Californians joining the "First In The World Delivery of a Nissan LEAF" at the Petaluma dealership next Saturday ? And does Nissan even want us there ? What are the arrangements ? How big a deal are they going to make of it ? Will Plug-In-America be...

The term "Minit" appears only once on this Forum (according to the Search function), and that's from a May 23, 2010 reference to a Feb 2010 presentation. But take a looks at this: http://www.minit-charger.com/other/chargers/specifications.php In the Level II section, notice the mention of the...

Hello everyone ! My (almost) first post. I joined because I saw the Bay Area Group Buy thread after seeing the $1,000 OFF MSRP Fontana offer. But I am in the Sacramento Area. That kind of discount makes me think I'd go thru a lot of hassle and pick up the car in SoCal. But on second...

This thread should be kept for archival/historical reasons, but now that the $5,000 rebate has been "depleted" and the CVRP program changed, a new thread has been created. California CVRP = California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project Link to REAL-TIME site: http://energycenter.org/index.php/incen"...
