Jim, it was good to see you tonight! I noticed that Tony Williams posted a photo of the LeafSpy readout from the 2018 LEAF. Hope you don't mind me sharing it here as proof that it will work, even though some adjustments might be needed, as you said above.

Speaking of which, it looks like they just launched a UL-listed version: https://emotorwerks.com/store/residential/juicebox-pro-40-smart-40-amp-evse-with-24-foot-cable

Tesla co-founder and first CEO Martin Eberhard on electric vehicle grid storage: "You can get about 90% of the value not by allowing the vehicle to put energy onto the grid, but rather just allowing the grid to have precise control of the charging of the vehicle."...

Thank you, much appreciated! I miss the early days of this forum - so many good things came out of this community. Saw this Facebook post by a taxi driver in Spain the other day. It prominently shows LeafSpy and all of its glorious stats.

There is an easy was to do this. When you get the MPGe figures on fueleconomy.gov, you can calculate the number of miles added per hour using this formula: Miles = MPGe x kW / 33.7. For the 2016 LEAF, this means that every kilowatt of sustained power will add 3.4 miles of range per hour...

Intertek has a neat summary outlining what they test charging equipment for. FCC Part 15 and Part 18 verification is listed. Another thing to keep in mind, GFCI circuitry and pilot communication performance is subject to noise injection testing. If the device itself produces electromagnetic...

I just came across this article on leasehackr.com. Quite an entertaining read! Californians, Lease A BMW i3 For About $130/Month, $0 Down (Yes, Really)

We are at 40 signed and executed applications and have 10 spots left. Additionally, eMotorWerks is now offering a free JuiceNet upgrade to ClipperCreek HCS-40 owners. This upgrade adds networking capabilities and remote control via a smartphone app.

I believe that eMotorWerks rewards participation in the SSP pilot with a $150 incentive. That's either a rebate to existing customers or an upfront discount on a qualifying EVSE. Regarding the structure of the pilot, including the economic benefits and rewards, I would encourage you to peruse...

Dave, yes, I made that post on TMC. Someone from the staff reached out, and eMotorWerks is considering becoming a TMC sponsor.

eMotorWerks have put a lot of effort into the PEV Pilot, and they were the only entity that kept it going. All other MDMAs have dropped out and the remaining ones, despite their experience and considerable resources, have not been able to place more than six devices in the field. Not enough to...

Attention East Bay (SF Bay Area) residents! You can now enroll in a new smart charging program. This offer is available now through November 28, and time is of the essence! More details about the PG&E supply-side pilot are available on the Olivine website or on the sign-up page. Get $150 off a...

Please give the i3 group on Facebook a consideration. We built a much better community there. I did not have time to engage on the forum very much, except in the early days, and given the influx of new members with intolerable behavior, I gave up on it in short order. Tom is still holding out...

Yes, absolutely. I watched the progression of AB-2013 through the State legislature last year, and there seems to be a good understanding that the HOV lanes are suffering from congestion. I think the chances are good that the green stickers will expire on January 1, 2019, and the white stickers...

Yes, exactly. There is about 30 days worth of application backlog. At the recent run rate of 90 stickers per calendar day, the remaining allocation is good for about 40 calendar days. All things being equal, the stickers could be all spoken for on or around May 21. If it's true that dealers are...
