    Fenix Power - Took money and but never delivered

    A few weeks ago, I got on the Fenix Power mailing list, but resisted putting a deposit down until I learned more about Fenix. I was hoping this could be an option for me to increase the range on my 2011 Nissan LEAF (45k miles, 8 bars, ~50 miles range today). However, everything I've read and...

    2018 Nissan LEAF EVSE is not working with 208v AC

    If your meter is working and fairly accurate, then 210v is really way too low to be 240v service. Sunnyvale is served by PG&E and from my experience (installing solar) homes there are usually 240v, so I am surprised you're finding 210v (208v?) between hots. But that is interesting and would...

    2018 Nissan LEAF EVSE is not working with 208v AC

    More information: The owner of the 2018 Nissan LEAF is able to use an old ICS-200B EVSE to charge his new LEAF from 208v, so presumably, the 2018 LEAF on board charger is OK with 208v power and the issue is with the portable EVSE accepting 208v. Someone also checked that the 208v outlet used...

    2018 Nissan LEAF EVSE is not working with 208v AC

    In the city of Santa Clara, CA certain residential neighborhoods receive 208v AC instead of the more conventional 240v. This has not been a problem with the BLINK charging station installed for my 2011 Nissan LEAF or my upgraded portable EVSE. However, another Santa Clara resident who recently...

    BLINK EVSE fails to detect the LEAF is plugged In

    I'm happy to report the problem is fixed ! Good News ! Problem Resolved. The problem was quite apparent once the cover of the BLINK was removed. One of the wires (Blue wire - Purple connector - see photo) became disconnected - most likely caused by pulling on the BLINK charging cable. Back...

    BLINK EVSE fails to detect the LEAF is plugged In

    BLINK EVSE fails to detect the LEAF is plugged in After quickly unplugging the J1772 connector from his 2011 LEAF when he noticed the car start to roll backwards down his driveway, my friend says his BLINK no longer detects that the LEAF is connected. He insists the cable was never strectched...

    New Nissan LEAF Survey

    I just took the survey. I agree with others that some of the survey questions were poorly set up. For example: At the beginning they ask for your Make, Model and Year, but there's no drop down or field to enter the year??? Charging Location Choices - should have included a category "other" I...

    eVgo rolls out California Pricing website

    I visited the web site: https://www.evgonetwork.com/charging-plans-california/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I see monthly prices, but no details. What are the terms of the subscription for the In-Home charging stations? Does the home subscription include access to public...

    Bosch Power Max™ 30A - Seeking Reviews

    I just installed one of the new BOSCH lower cost EVSE (Power Max EL-51254) - lightweight, 30A, 25-ft cord for a client, price: $749 + shipping. Installation was relatively easy. I had to find AWG 8 Ring terminals (available at OSH) to make the connections to the wiring block on the back...

    Using clone ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter with Leaf

    I updated the app to the 0.26 general release and just tried it out - It works great - Thanks Jim ! I'm using the Excelvan ELM327 scanner and a Hisense Sero Pro 7 Android Tablet and it works consistently. I primarily use it to get a snapshot of the state of the battery and save the screenshots...

    Update on Battery Warranty Enhancement for 2011 & 2012 LEAF

    I've read the letter several times and I AM NOT SATISFIED ! OK, so Nissan spells out in more details the terms of the battery warranty - fine, but am I the only person wondering what the software change really does? The letter states more than once that the update provides benefits and...

    6.6 Kw LEAF Charger

    Can someone please explain the Kw ratings on the 2013 LEAF onboard chargers. All the specs I've seen so far list ratings as 3.6 kW (3.3kW Output) for the 2013 S model and 6.6 kW (6.0 kW Output) on the 2013 SV and SL models. The Nissan Rep (not Tim, the other fellow) at the meeting in San Jose...

    SF BayLEAFs - e-NV200 Ride & Drives and Showcase May 28

    What are these LEAF owners saying? Did they file Form 8936 "Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit" with their 2011 U.S. Federal Tax return and the Federal Government rejected their claim? It's a "Tax Credit" not a rebate, so unless they overpaid their taxes, they would not...

    TED5000 + PV + LEAF

    Hi SparkyEV, I'm glad I found your post. I have a BLINK EVSE, Solar PV and a TED 5000 with two MTUs and I have noticed that my TED real time readings "freeze" whenever I am charging the LEAF. This happens even at night, when my PV system is 'dormant'. As soon as charging stops and I reset the...

    Owners: Any regrets?

    No regrets here... I love my LEAF - I love showing it to curious people and answering questions about it. This weekend I sold my old GAS vehicle ('94 Mazda Protege) which has been just sitting for the past 5 months since I bought the LEAF. Now the LEAF is the only car I own. Anybody else...

    I wrote the following to BLINK Support and received the following response: Hello Blink Support, My BLINK online account charging statistics don't look complete, accurate or up to date - Why? I posted this question to the BLINK users forum and the BLINK Moderator suggested I contact Blink...

    New Bay Area Blink/EVP agreeement?!!

    I signed the revised agreement electronically AND I e-mailed a copy of my vehicle registration. I have nothing to hide and I'm happy to trade whatever statistics they want to collect to help improve the charging infrastructure. I don't see how this can hurt and I am grateful for the free EVSE...
