Hello Fellow EV owners in SACRAMENTO! By any chance has anyone found a good charging spot around Arden Fair Mall? Thanks Venk

only 50 miles per charge? There is always something negative in articles about EV. Venk

Hello all, 3 questions for the group about the 2011 taxes 1) do I have to Claim the $2,500 rebate from CA state as income somewhere? I hope not 2) In using form 8911 to get the rebate for the EVSE, can you claim the installation costs as well as the cost of the charging unit? I am confused...

Sorry about all the electrical problems, We had a similar problem with the panel in our house, undersized and no more room. This is why we went with the PG&E second meter option with a separate panel. The installation was easy and it didn't mess with any of the existing wires. Venk

I charged @ level one in the free parking lot ( we always call it the cell phone lot) last night while waiting for my wife at to arrive. There are outlets in the bus stalls. Bring an extension cord if you plan on doing this.

Here is my tip after owning it for a week If you are charging at work set the timer to charge from when you want it to start charging at home to when you leave work. We have ours set for 12:30 AM to 7:00 PM to 80% charge. This way you don't have to worry about the pressing the charging timer...
