Just received the following email blast from Blink. Don't know many that ever had their CDMA modems enabled though... http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=27cf015daa8ea4ba2f6debcf7&id=5b02789c73" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just received the following email from Blink (aka Car Charging): (from http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=27cf015daa8ea4ba2f6debcf7&id=c545af9044&e=99a4f87d53) Looks like to me that they'll be contacting us to provide a big discount on a Blink HQ if we give them the old Blink. That's probably...

I'm looking to upgrade to 17" wheels on my 2011 Leaf and my wife really likes the OEM wheels on the 2013 MY. The cheapest I've found online so far was $250 per wheel... A bit higher than I'm willing to pay. Does anyone know what the model number is and what the typical dealer MSRP is on these?

On my commute to work today, I turned off a podcast and turned on the FM radio and flipped around a bit. I got to a station I haven't listened to in a while and noted how good it sounded, not just sorta better, but like the switch from crap to awesome was flipped. When I arrived at work, I had...

Wow, someone is definitely holding out on us! Speak up and provide some details as this looks awesome! (Source: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/1367-Towable-Generators?p=95919&viewfull=1#post95919)

Yesterday, Ken Rockwell posted a message on his very popular photography blog regarding electric cars being a "crock." His post reveals how misinformed he is, however I do sense a lot of anger in his words. I ask that you contact Ken Rockwell via email (see his contact page) and politely let...

This morning, America's first "Electric Avenue" was unveiled at Portland State University in SW Portland. The big news is that it's the 2nd publicly available DC Quick Charger (Eaton): Here's a PowerPoint presentation on the project...

The Blink locator map is now live! http://blinknetwork.com/locator.html Let's see what we can find!

I made a video yesterday due to a question on the Oregon Electric Vehicle Association mailing list on how the Shorepower EVSEs function and some basic troubleshooting. It's receiving a fairly good response and even is starting to be passed around on the local utility provider's internal mailing...

Unfortunately, the LEAF's navigation system is extremely lacking when taking into account factors when plotting a trip. I've found much better results using a combination of Google Maps and GPS Visualizer. First, we to go to Google Maps and use the "Get Directions" link to plot my trip. I'll...

Blink just sent out a newsletter, you can view it here: http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=27cf015daa8ea4ba2f6debcf7&id=3ebaf1564e I thought this was interesting: "For detailed information and installation instructions on the latest software update, please read the most recent Blink Software...

Yep, you too can keep your backup camera displayed for your whole trip! 1) Go into navigation system diagnostics (turn off radio, press Map three times, Radio Power two times, Map once). 2) Select Confirmation/Adjustment. 3) Select Camera. 4) Select Correct Draw Line of Rear view Camera. 5)...

Here's how my climate control timer has been set up since I picked up the LEAF three weeks ago: Timer 1: 6:30 AM Timer 2: None Timer 1: Enabled for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Timer 2: Set for Saturday, Sunday (but greyed out) So far, every Monday, the climate control does...

If you rarely have anyone in your back seat, remove those rear headrests and throw them in the trunk! Looking in my rear view mirror last night I decided I would have a much better view of rear traffic if those headrests weren't in the way. When I got home I threw them in the trunk and on...

Stopped by Harbor Freight today and picked up one of these: 12 Volt, 100 PSI High Volume Air Compressor I found it interesting that while the door label states a pressure of 36 PSI the factory installed tires have a maximum pressure rating (cold) of 44 PSI. Since we could technically put...

FYI, new firmware released today: L2R.1.4A Item: 1 Ticket Number: Says "Charging Now" while not charging. Issue: The Blink will now say "Not charging." If the vehicle is not requesting power. (Coherence #6776)

From Edmunds Inside Line (http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2011/03/2011-nissan-leaf-suspension-walkaround.html). Rockin' two-piston calipers: Personally, I had the opportunity to do a panic stop in the rain yesterday morning and the LEAF did NOT let me down! :D When I saw this article I...

Were you rockin' ECO mode?

I haven't had a chance to check out any other LEAFs, but I noticed today that the front bumper on my car already has a clear protector on it! I checked all the other panels and didn't see anything else covered... I did notice that the protector goes underneath the charge port plastics, so it...
