We are a dual leaf household :D and absolutely love both of our Leaves. We've put 2500 mi between the two since we picked them up in June. Neither my wife nor I want to drive our 2005 BMW 545, we find it noisy and it costs about 8x more to drive than the leaf.
382 Days After Reservation - I picked up my Silver SL-e ! :lol: :lol: :lol: Simply amazing ! Nine miles after delivery, my wife (who never bothered with any Drive Test Drive), just took the car and... Immediately loved it! We both find the car kinda ugly but it drives very well. My wife...
Brendan and Nissan CS confirmed that a shipment of Leafs is Expected in the late part of the week. My Leaf (#3275) is expected in that shipment - "Status - Released to shipping from Veh Prep Center" :lol: :lol:

We bought a TED meter about 2 months ago and monitored our energy usage to determine when during the day/week we consume energy. Based on the findings we determined that the PG&E E9A (single meter - TOU) rate would actually lower our electricity costs. So we arranged for a single...
After the EV Project $1200 per charger we are looking at $225 out of pocket for each of the two chargers.
The interesting thing is that the arrival of the chargers prompted many other residents in the condo to ask what steps they need to take to get an EV and an EVSE... I guess that' EV fever :)
The entire building has internet shared between all residents. We have several wifi repeaters through out the building and the coverage is actually quite good in the garage. The Blinks picked up the wifi signal immediately and were able to upload new firmware versions.
I noticed that the...
Robert (my installer) explained that Ecotality requests that all indoor installs be made with a NEMA plug to allow convenient replacement of the EVSE. Outdoor installations should be hard wired with conduits. Because our install is in a condo public common area, the wiring for our EVSEs...
