I agree, but in a year I have not installed a home level 2 ESVE. No need.

I ran into a situation with my Leaf the second day I had it. There was a charger very close to work but hidden and next to a construction site in downtown Boston. After parking and getting free parking and free electricity I sent mail to the owner of the charging station asking what the...

Thanks for the link to the older products. The EVSE in question is a CT2103.

Yeah, I thought about that. It would seem kinda strange to have to use my Chargepoint card in my own garage. :-) If this were to progress any further I would talk to Chargepoint and see about using the unit without the authentication portion.

<sheepish look>.. Yes I know they are not chargers, and I correct people all the time when they ask me about charging my car... My brain took a small vacation...

Well put. I have had mostly older plain cars over the years and drove them till they died (200K miles plus). I now lease a 2013 Leaf SL. I like the toys such as Nav and leather and heated seats. Yeah it's a bit of extra money but I spent a lot of money putting two kids through college so I...

I have been charging for months at a charger a few blocks from where I work owned by an environmental startup. The company is moving and they have no place at there new facility to install it. I expressed an interest in purchasing it if they no longer want it. It is a Chargepoint with one...

My commute is 50 miles round trip also. I charge (for free) at a charger about 2 blocks from where I work,so I charge only there, not at home. This has been working fine for the 5 months that I have had the car. On weekends I mostly drive my truck. On the few occasions that I need to top off...

Wow. This is incredible service, especially in this day and age. My guess is that the tech and Nissan representatives got into the 'I'm not going to let this damn car beat me' type of mental attitude. In the early 80's I bought a five year old BMW 320i from a relative. Came with a stack of...

Absolutely.

I do this all the time. I was a cab driver back in the 70's and still drive like it. If I am first at a light I slam the pedal to the metal when the light turns, if only to not have all the other cars around me. Fuel economy? Pshaw... I get my electricity for free. Let'em laugh.

My 2013 SL is leased and I have no intention of buying it out at the end of the lease although I mostly likely will extend the two year lease to three depending on how much better the technology is. The residual value is $19k on the car. Nobody in their right mind would pay that for a two...

Sigh.. I just found out that I am going to lose my free parking and free electricity in August. There is a company a few blocks from where I work which has one charger and I can park there all day for free and the electricity is free. I have my phone number on the dash in case someone else...

I've been told that. When we purchased my wife's Civic Hybrid in 2007 we bought an 8 year / 120,000 warranty for $850 from the dealer. It will run out in about a week,the car has 119,600 on it. Only repair to the car has been front brake pads which I did myself.

Lots of interesting points in this thread. I'm an older guy who keeps cars till they are dead dead, not just dead, but really dead. I have driven more cars to the boneyard than most people own in their lifetimes. I always buy used (new for the wife though) and run up to 250,000 or so for the...

Social media, ya gotta love it. I had the annoying click on acceleration, found this thread. Car is 6 weeks old. Called my dealer service department: Me: I have the 'click on acceleration problem. Service: Huh? Me: You know, the annoying click on acceleration problem. Service: No...

The person who mentioned that the brake fluid change is $85. That is not a bad price. I also have a pressure bleeder but $85 is a fair price for me not to have to deal with it. I presume that if you do the brake fluid change yourself and change the seven dollar cabin filter yourself that...

I'm sure RelayRides pledges to make it right, but when a crazy jury has a verdict of millions and RelayRides realizes they will go down because of the judgement that pledge will not be worth much. And the car owners life will be hell for years. I know that many of you reading my posts on this...

Yes, I understand. I know many people who share that attitude. I, on the other hand, spent 10 years as a cab driver and quite often had to drive really beat up automobiles. Ever since those days I have always kept my personal cars in excellent shape and nary a scratch on them. Including my...

Sigh... Monetary damages were not worth a law suit. Burned out starter? $50 or so plus an hour cleaning the car. Grille? I think that was $50 or so also. It was a roommate who became roommate from hell, but that is a story for another forum.
