I'd like to re-introduce myself, after a long hiatus. I was a proud owner of a 2011 LEAF (one of the first 1,000) for 24k miles before I sold it because of (modest) range loss, that we're all familiar with. I still have a special place in my heart for the LEAF. Before the LEAF, I was a...

After searching this forum (after a long hiatus), I find the last mention of Aptera was July 2023, and the one before that in December 2022. Should I be surprised that Aptera is not discussed more actively here? I was a proud owner of a 2011 LEAF, but sold it after 24k miles because the...

I owned a 2011 LEAF for 25k miles. That generation of LEAF batteries did degrade noticeably in that time frame, so "babying" them was important, especially limiting high temperatures. Lithium ion car batteries have tremendously improved since then. I'm assuming replacement LEAF batteries have...

I haven't had time to read the entire thread, but so far, I haven't seen the direct answer, using physics equations. First, the mass of the LEAF is 1521 kg. Add 79 kg of driver and luggage for 1600 kg of loaded mass. The usable capacity of the LEAF battery = 24 kWh * 0.95 depth of discharge *...

I'm somewhat relieved to report that there is at least a partial resumption of sanity in my situation with Ecotality and LADWP. Upon a second review, Ecotality realized that I do not have an electric dryer or electric stove, so they are not kicking me out of their EV Project. In any case, with...

A rational world must be a nice place to live in for the lucky few. Ecotality has told me that the updated agreement requires a separate, dedicated TOU meter for EV charging. They don't care the that house has solar PV. I can remain on whole house tiered rate, or go to whole house TOU. If I...

It may be hard to imagine, but that seems to be the reality. For some reason, Ecotality is now requiring a separated dedicated TOU meter for EV charging. Coincidentally, their updated agreement also requires the LADWP customer to turn over any LADWP rebate they get. Coincidentally, to qualify...

I'm posting this new thread in response to: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3750 The original thread seems to blame LADWP for the delay in Blink installations. After some investigation, it seems to me that Ecotality is the one that is holding up Blink installations for LADWP...

I'm facing an urgent dilemma about whether to buy and install a Coulomb CT500 in 2010, or wait for possibly better options (possibly a free charger) in 2011. I made my LEAF reservation on May 15, in Los Angeles. I did not sign up for the free charger until today, so it will be a while before I...
