I have a 2012 leaf that I am going to be turning in at the end of august. My inspection is beginning of next month. I think I will need tires. Looking at local tire shops it looks like the cheapest I can find for 4 tires is low 300 range after installation etc. Will it likely be cheaper to...

I am doing my inspection in a few weeks. Should I go ahead and get new tired prior to the inspection or wait until after the inpection is done and then replace them? Are there any restrictions as to brand of tire. I am going to try to find the cheapest I can find. So far its $56 per tire...

My lease ends this summer and I am trying to decide what to do. Currently I have the offer to purchase the car for 5000 off residual. I can also extend the lease or turn it in. Tonight I had the car appraised by CarMax. They said the car is worth 10000 for them to by. They said the tires...

Thats good to know that I have options. I was getting angry at the thought of having to buy a new charging station. rkshack

Last week my blink died. It does not charge. The screen lights up but is black. I called blink and they said they would put a support ticket in. They said I should hear from someone in a day or so. I did not so called back yesterday. They said there was a back log of complaints and made it...

Will those steps lower the power draw? Does that mean it draws 4.8 kwh a day? Currently my screen does not time out. Rkshack

Does anyone know where I can find the information or have an opinion?

I recently had the blink charging station from ecototality installed. It has worked great as a charger and generally charges quicker than my leaf says it will take. I have some questions though. How accurate is the display on the screen as far as how much electricty I am using? How musch...

Got it installed yesterday. Very pleased with it so far. Rkshack

I have a 2012 leaf. I have owned it since May of this year. Up until about a month ago I was getting about 3.9 mimes/kw. Over the lat month or so I have been getting around 3.5. The temp is in the mid 50s. In the summer I was getting better mileage. Is there a reason for this change? Is it...

I just have been approved fro the free evse through ecototality. The installation charge after my credit is 636. The total instalation is 1286. That seems high. Is that a reasonable charge? rkshack

My address is in an area that can qualify for the evproject. I just sent in my application. Hopefully I am accepted. Rkshack

so you can't put two outlets on the one circuit? Also a circuit is a wire to your breaker box correct? I just put in my information to the evproject. I guess I will see what they say. rkshack

I have had my leaf for about 5 months and have been using level one charging without much difficulty. I have been thinking of upgrading to one of the level 2 chargers. The reason for the change primarily is that if the car is charging and I use a hair dryer in my bathroom a breaker flips...

It seems the results differ slightly from the chart. I have my economy set to 3.9 miles per kwh, bars at 12 and temp at 72. The program tells me my estimated range is 81. The chart says 82. Is there a reason for the difference. I know its only 1 mile but I am curious. rkshack

For the app where would you get the percent battery level or gids to enter? I have been using bars. rkshack

This is exactly my question. What do I need to set up in the car. I have turned on settings as I mentioned above (I turned on send unplugged status to data center and send charging status to data center). I have not been able to see if that works because I went on vacation. So should that...

Is there any risk, other than hurting the kill-a-watt. Any chance of damaging the cable or the car? Also can you feel that is starting to have problems because it gets hot? Rkshack

So if I plug in a kill-a-watt directly into the wall do I have to worry about the pcb catching on fire. Rkshack

what is the pcb. Was the short extension a heavy gauge? Is the only risk a flipped breaker. I have had the car for a few weeks and have not had a problem yet. Rkshack
