Im a PGE customer in CA, and been using the Leaf for a few months now. I charge about 7-10 hours per day using 110v, since I charge both at work and at home. Decided to switch from E-1 to E9-A the residential time of use plan. When I asked them to switch me, they told it me would take one...

Been talked about already in context of users who have a solar installation. However, Im wondering if people can speak to their experience moving from E1 to either E6 or e9 when you dont have a solar installation. Why Im asking - Im using about 342kwh in the summer, 466khw in the winter before...

After looking closely at the plug for the dryer - looks like a NEMA 10-50 So.. three pins

Ahh, got it. Very good answers. Glad I found this forum!

It seems that the Automatic transmission lever (park, drive, eco, reverse, neutral) it would seem possible to accidentally push the park button when driving. Which would be bad if you were going 60mph. Same issue if you bumped the shift knob and put it into reverse. Anyone got any thoughts or...

What I cant understand about the 220v charging vs 110. First, I was assuming that - even though 220v is faster, that my electric bill will be about the same, since electricity is charged by watts (amps*volts?). However, it does not seem to me that it takes 2x as long to charge with the 110, it...

quick question - on the leaf, sometimes I see a small orange light go on. Its part of the roof on the inside, near the front where the reading lights are for the front passengers. Have no idea what it does or what it means. Any ideas?
