Thank you all for the thoughts. I'm off this evening to look at a 2017 SL. 28K miles w/ all the options. Private party, original owner and he's not had the BMS update recall applied to it. See how it goes...

Yup -- I get that it's possible to game the capacity bars w/ possible BMS updates, etc. Is there a chart for the 30kWH battery showing expected real-world AHr targets to expect each capacity bar to drop? If I understand correctly, that's the only indication that remains true following a BMS...

My purchased-new 2012 SL was rear-ended and sold off this summer. We enjoyed it -- it's more-or-less a known quantity. I've read LeftieBiker's excellent used buying guide, and I'd like to hear the collective wisdom on this. Assume an 8 bar 24kWH pack would suffice for our foreseeable...

Sorry for the threadsurrection here, but, was the 80% charge option (or similar) ever restored on later models, or is the option "gone for good"?

That's exactly what I do. I'll look at the other references. Thanks for pointing them out!

Thanks for the confirmation. I get the tiering usage. I didn't even consider this before your comment: take the data from the net-metering summary bill and plugging that directly into my program as a validation. "What forest, there's only a bunch of trees" :P The real problem is that...

BTW -- if any one is curious I find the new EV rate to be the most favorable compared to E1, E6, or E9a: http://foobert.com/temp/power.html Obviously, I have solar w/ net-metering. Top chart in the link above says it all. Your mileage will vary. I hope to one day release my program so other...

Thank you Ray. I skimmed through Schedule S, and clearly I should have studied it in detail.

Are you making the 1 megawatt statement based on Special Condition 5 or some other reference? Most residential solar will likely use net metering (NEM), therefore the exemption in #5 is not applicable. Curiously, I see similar schedule S requirements in the other residential rate plans, and it...

Has anyone noticed the fine-print in the EV schedule regarding "Standby reservation charges"? Special conditions 5 & 6: :?: Firstly, what exactly is a "standby reservation charge"? Can anyone translate special condition 6 into plain English?

I'm writing a program that downloads PGE Green Button data and calculates the bill for each of the available tariff options, with consideration of net-metering, etc. I've yet to find any detailed algorithm published on how exactly PGE performs its bill calculations. If anyone has such a...

New "Leaf Battery App" user joining the party: Build: 2011-10 In service: 2011-11-13 Miles: 17.8K A bit disappointing since I own the car and have babied the battery as much as reasonably possible. Question about what data to believe. Drove into work this AM, here's the stats: Distance...

Hmmm... Let's just take a 737-800 at a landing weight of 64000Kg and a landing speed of 125 knots (64.3 M/s), a bit on the slow side for that weight... Anyway, that's a kinetic energy = 0.5*m*V^2 = 132 MJ = 132 MW seconds So, if you wanted to absorb just 1/3 of the kinetic energy through...

How many chargers have we seen blown that were not related to lightening?

Where does this number come from?

I think it's worth making it super easy for everyone to see what NTB11-076a is all about. Here's a link to the full document. And, here's the pertinent part that is the cause of much debate. Given the absence any authoritative data from Nissan stating what the minimum capacity of a new...

Interesting problem to have; clever solution. This makes me want to double check that I understand how PG&E handles time-of-use pricing. No time like present to understand what I already committed to with my pending PV install.

If it were me, I'd add +100 amps to the service feed from the utility company (above what you'd normally put in for a house of your size). This will naturally increase the main panel amperage as well. It will cost you some money for the wiring + panel and possibly from your utility company...

A Volt passed me while accelerating up the freeway on-ramp. His license plate was: ------------ AMP*OHM ------------ The perfect gEEk plate. Incidentally, once we were on the freeway, my white sticker trumped his lead foot up the ramp. 8-)

:lol: Hello Pot, this is Kettle. Yeah, guess what: your post has even less to do with capacity loss Contemplating selling my Leaf has everything to with capacity loss -- I cannot be the first to be thinking about. It's as much a statement about losing faith in Nissan and the Leaf as...
