    Lightning Strike saga

    Excellent responses...thank you both of you. Not being knowledgable about such issues, I am pretty much having to rely on others' knowledge and explanations. It's just that I know what caused it, but I can't explain "how..." if that makes sense. I'll work to understand the explanations so...

    Lightning Strike saga

    I'm giving this thread a bump, because something similar happened to my 2011 Leaf, but unlike you...I'm stuck in insurance purgatory. Quick abbreviated story: Middle of the night( my Leaf plugged in to the Blink unit) we hear and feel a TREMENDOUS crash and flash, and we come outside to see...

    San Diego - Current List of Public Charging Stations

    The Walgreens at the corner of Lake Murray Blvd and Navajo Road in San Carlos now has a L2 station...non-blink. I didn't see it listed on any of the databases or apps yet.

    Interesting Call from my PD, yesterday

    Hmmm...I had the same thing happen to me last week as well. Interesting. I never really considered the idea that they had re-allocated me a demo car when I pushed on my delivery date, but it seems like that is what happened. I got my car weeks ago and now knowing that my "original" car...

    I'm only 1/2 a mile away, but will be out of town. Bummer- But I am so, so excited that we finally have our first public use charger!

    Nervous about this trip, but locked into it..

    The trip from SD to Oside was at 63 mph, cruise control, Eco, with climate control on. I just got in the slow lane and never really had a problem. At 63mph, I was pretty comfortable in the far right lane. Wind was the just the usual off the coast breeze. I'm thinking you will be just fine...

    Nervous about this trip, but locked into it..

    What you and others posted certainly turned out to be true. I used barely 5 bars on the way to O'side and then 6 on the way home. I pulled into the driveway with one bar left, 9 miles listed on the guessometer, and no low battery warnings. I never really worried because it never looked like I...

    Nervous about this trip, but locked into it..

    Well, my travel plans today have me a little nervous, but I'm locked into this. Today I'm scheduled to go from San Diego to Oceanside and back...approximately 74 highway miles. I'm going on Eco, 60mph and no CC. I thought about going up early and charging at Mossy Nissan Oceanside, but it...

    surfboard range?

    Even though I did lease, I'm still not too worried about it. I'm just real careful to rinse and wipe off the board (9'0) before I put it in it's bag.

    surfboard range?

    I'm glad to report back that my first trip to Tourmaline with my board in the Leaf was surprisingly easy. I lay both back seats down and it gives me more than enough room for my wetsuit tub, towel, leash etc in the back. Then, just lean the front seat back (after removing the headrest) and...

    Blink outdoor?

    Success (for real this time.) I received an email from a Building Inspector Supervisor Friday evening that "after having reviewed my information and viewing the site on Google Maps" :) the installation provides "ample room to charge the EV without encroaching on the sidewalk." The phrasing...

    Blink outdoor?

    You are moving along! I know it will feel great to not trickle charge anymore. Who would be the best city representative to address my issues to? My council person? The City Inspectors themselves? I'm trying to not push too hard right now, but I also want to think creatively about my (and...

    Blink outdoor?

    Well, darn. After getting a copy of my Electric Overhead Meter and Service Location from SDGE, I called Baker Electric and it turns out the inspector already had a copy of that with the permit. I'm stuck and just waiting to hear from a Sr. Inspector to verify that my installation is ok. This...

    Blink outdoor?

    Got it! Called SDGE and was able to get this emailed to me...it just came in. I will call the inspector to see if this suffices. Out of curiosity, who was your inspector? Do you have his name? I'm still really confused why neither Baker Electric or my inspector was able to specify to me...

    Blink outdoor?

    Congrats rhover! Although the ease of your inspection now gives me an even greater pause...CORRECTION. Now, are you able to tell if SDGE wrote the site plan or is there a possibility that SunWest did? What does the site plan look like? A sketch, blueprints, or a computer print-off of...
