You just need a wrecked 6.6kw car to pull all the odds and ends out of. I can run up to 1,800 miles a month on my leaf and I mostly use a 240V 12 amp charger. Why the need to 6.6kw?

The climate in Sri Lanka seems to have ravaged the leaf battery and no support from nissan seems to have created the demand.

Well if it's part of a camper setup, emergency power rig it makes way more sense. Cause we know know entire electrical interconnects are vulnerable to collapse.

I want to do an array on a sunny boy sps inverter like that. Let me know how it works out. Solar DC straight to AC with no battery should be pretty intolerant to motor starting loads. But it may charge a leaf just fine.

In 2019 I believe it was about $3 a watt for a fly by night install company to install panels on a string inverter. Closer to $4 per watt for micro inverter, from a legacy company.

The biden administration want to reduce solar install cost by 60%. If you delete any associated taxes , permits fees, inspection costs, make the panels and inverter free you can just about get there.

A solar canopy, bahahahaha. Since you are on here I assumed you know how big solar panels are, how much they output, and how much power it takes to move an electric car. Guess not. Let me demonstrate the numerous ways you are wrong. First why the "solar canopy" is useless, a waste of money and...

Santan soar in AZ. I buy a pallet of panels from them once or twice a year and resell them locally 1 to 5 panels at a time for at least double.

I still say a diesel powered push trailer is a better option. Just putting my empty trailer behind my leaf reduces range by around 25%. Make a trailer around a 600 to 900lb battery, just doesn't seem worth it. Assuming you had a 40kwh car and you put a 1,000lb 60kwh battery trailer on your car...

The wheels do look pretty nice, try putting them on ebay.

Yeah either get a dedicated car charger receptacle or use you dryer plug and switch between the ev charger as needed. Unplugging the dryer constantly gets old after a while and I was smart enough to put the dryer receptacle up higher than the dryer on a dryer stand so it was easy to reach. I...

I would say that the plandemic is canceled. Air ports are starting to get busy again, what restaurants are open for dine in are packed all the time, the small city traffic jams have returned.

I believe there was a shop in Washington state that will referb leaf batteries. One guy in here used their services. If I remember correctly they had his car less than 2 weeks, replaced about a dozen modules, he went from 7 or 8 SOH bars back to 12 and they guaranteed the car will stay at 12...

Well looks like PNM has been approved for a 7.6% rate hike and that's only half of it, they want 14% and they are going to fight for it. I thought wind and solar were supposed to be cheaper than natural gas and coal. I knew it was a lie, never believed it for a second. 24 pages later and I...
