    EVSE works plugged into outside outlet, but not extension cord

    It starts blinking the moment I plug it into the outlet, not even connected to the car. If I do plug it in, it will not charge

    EVSE works plugged into outside outlet, but not extension cord

    Thanks for the replies so far. To clarify, this is the cord I bought last year. US Wire 76100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Yellow Heavy Duty Extension Cord with Lighted Pow-R-Block https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWRS9A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2QqfybGQKHWK7

    EVSE works plugged into outside outlet, but not extension cord

    Title says it. I have one outside outlet at the half of the duplex I rent, and it's at the back of the house down a 20 yard driveway. If I plug directly into the outlet, the evse works fine, but then the landlord can't plow the driveway since my car is parked in back. So I decided to buy a...

    Burning smell while charging.

    But has this beige box been identified as the source of the smell?

    Burning smell while charging.

    So the smell is originating from this beige block? I haven't had a chance to trace it.

    Burning smell while charging.

    Sorry to bring up an old post, but it's happening to me now on my 2012 SL with 17k miles. I charge once at work at a 240 station, and then at home on 120. The smell is much worse from the 240v, so something is definitely not happy. Making me nervous. Is this a common problem?

    Long time for warm air with heater?

    I guess I'm lucky, I haven't heard mine rattle at all, but then again I've only had it for about a week. (15k miles.) I turned the heat all the way up to 90 and it seemed to be taking a very long time to heat up. I hope it's not a problem.

    Long time for warm air with heater?

    I have a 2012 SL. I always shut off the AC as well thinking it will help with battery life.

    Long time for warm air with heater?

    Just curious. For the first time, I tried turning on my heater this morning to defrost the windows a bit and it was cold air. To test, I put it on vent and cranked the heat up. It felt a little warmer after a couple of minutes, but I'm just curious if this is normal or if it's a problem...

    I want to power the G1W on something other than the 12v lighter outlet.

    Securing the OEM charge cable

    Just wondering if there is a "best practice" people have found for securing the L1 cable. Currently I have to plug it in to an outdoor outlet, and there is no way that I've found to actually secure it or lock it so no one can just walk up and take the entire thing. Thanks!

    Bought an HD Dash Cam for my LEAF - Check it out here...

    Just ordered the G1W from Amazon. I'll do some testing with it and if I like it, I'll purchase another for my wife. Definite necessary in Massachusetts, unfortunately.

    2012 SL charging

    Brother in law came over today and said there is no room left for a 240v outlet. Guess I'm stuck with L1 charging and home and L2 at work. There are parking spots with outlets next to them that the building guys told me I could use. It should be enough. 12 hours of L1 charging at home to get...

    2012 SL charging

    My brother in law is an electrician but doesn't know anything about EVSEs. I'm thinking about doing the EVSEUpgrade for now. He sent me what he thinks I'll need. Does this sound right? "You would need roughly 100 feet of 12/2, an out side 1 gang box, an L6-30 receptacle, and a cover for it...
