I just ordered mats from Marlboro Nissan. I spoke with Matt who took my order over the phone. Cool guy. Free shipping to Hawaii is sweet!jj50 wrote:Just received some OEM rubber floor mats today. I purchased them through Marlboro Nissan here:

Note that you can't order online because a glitch in their system doesn't show the state of Hawaii for shipping. But you can call their toll-free number and speak to Jamie, he took my order over the phone.
$80.99, and free shipping to Hawaii!Way cheaper than the local dealers. The mats look good, too.

I am interested in the leather seatskoolaukid wrote:I think the fabric used for the seats and especially the armrests is a poor choice and have been looking into alternatives. Wet Okole seat covers are one option but do nothing for the stain susceptible armrests and center console. Stopped by Golden Upholstery on Queen Street today and got a quote for $1,550 for front and back seats, door panels and center console. I see where the SF group has arranged a group buy at ~$1,000-$1,100. There are photos of the Leaf leather installation at;

Scroll down the page about halfway, this install had the seats done in a light tan and the door panels are a contrasting darker color, both are similar to the current interior. Is anyone else looking to do something like this? If so, please state your intentions and I'll try to put together better pricing.

FYI, state rebate for upgraded evse was denied because it is not UL certified.fulabu wrote:I have the evse upgrade and it works great. No safety issues at all. I'm trying for the state rebate; we'll see. I'll let you know.jj50 wrote:I'm also planning on buying the EVSE upgrade, so I'd be interested in other people's experiences in Hawaii. I'm gonna have an electrician install a 240v L6-20 outlet soon, I'll let you guys know how it goes.daSilvaLeaf wrote:has anyone been using the evseupgrade for charging?
does it work well?
any safety issues?

I think that basically it seems like it works well, and is safe.
Regarding the warranty issues, this is from the EVSEupgrade website:
"It will not void the warranty on your car. In the US we have the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act which is a United States federal law, (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.). Enacted in 1975, it is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products. Among other things, It prevents manufacturers from denying warranty coverage from aftermarket upgrades. The only way they can deny a claim is to unequivocally prove that the upgrade did damage to your car. (see previous question) However, the warranty coverage on the EVSE itself will be voided. However, We stand behind our work and cover the upgrade for a period of 1 year, which offers additional peace-of-mind."
Regarding the state tax rebate, see here:

Has anyone tried to claim the state rebate for the EVSE upgrade?

No, I don't think the state rebate will pay for running a 240 line. You might be able to claim the $1000 federal tax credit, I gotta check with my accountant.koolaukid wrote:"FYI, state rebate for upgraded evse was denied because it is not UL certified."
How about expenses to run a 240 line to the garage? Do those qualify?
