    Post Your Battery Degradation Results

    2013 SV, kept in Wisconsin 42,143 mi, 15 QC's, 2139 L1/L2's AHr = 58.60 SOH = 89.60% Hx = 86.88% Going to try a few QC's over the next few weeks and see if it brings it up a bit. Overall i'm still really impressed at a 5 year old Leaf with 42k+ miles. I thought for sure I would have lost a few...

    Energy use monitoring - Open Energy Monitor?

    So after a few back-and-forths with what i'm assuming was some bum hardware or programming on my part I finally got it all up and running! I will say, the OpenEnergyMonitor is pretty slick to use once you get it figured out. I really like the real-time view of our system and home usage...

    Energy use monitoring - Open Energy Monitor?

    Thanks! I finally got all the gear and went on to install... and not being a programming/network geek either its certainly not intuitive! It looks like i've somehow locked myself out and now I need to figure out how to do a factory reset! oh boy... it looks to be worth it once I get it up and...

    Energy use monitoring - Open Energy Monitor?

    Cool, I went with the EmonTX and it's 4 inputs along with the wifi kit to make it standalone. I didnt get any of their CT's because I know it wouldnt fit over my 100a mains (theirs has a 13mm aperture and I need at least 16mm) so I'll have to source some other ones. I'll be running 4 total...

    Solar for grid tied AND backup - where to begin?

    Correct. The battery system that they created in partnership with Panasonic would have just about doubled my cost, its really really pricey right now but I fully anticipate that after a year or so it will come down. The good news is that it is eligible for the federal rebate to bring it down...

    Energy use monitoring - Open Energy Monitor?

    I just ordered mine! I'll be PM'ing you when I get it since i'll need to do the US setup too. What CT's did you use?

    Solar for grid tied AND backup - where to begin?

    Great question! I had the same needs/wants and actually just had my grid-tied PIKA system commissioned a week ago. I have 7.45kw (21 panels) from Seraphim with the Pika inverter, grid-tied. Their battery setup is done with Panasonic and is super easy to integrate later, its literally 2 wires...

    Losing all regen braking during a bumpy stop

    Just throwing in that my 2013 SV does this too... Catches you off-guard

    UPDATED- LEAF LED High-Beam upgrade

    If the bulbs do not have DOT printed on the base the answer is NO

    Inductive charging (plugless connection)

    I honestly really like the idea of plugless and ALMOST got it. The one thing that held me back was it being only 3.3kw vs 6.6kw for a standard wall (went OpenEVSE). Yes I know probably 80-90% of my charging is overnight and I wouldn't notice the charging time difference, but occasionally it's...

    Red Taillight Film Installed

    Hate to be the party pooper, but as a an automotive lighting engineer (yes there is such a thing) there is no way placing red film over your STT lights maintains the proper, legal, and SAFE intensity for your stop lights. Your film also covers the side reflex area (shiny red side part) of your...

    How do you help spread the word about EV's ?

    This is what I do here in WI where I've never seen another Leaf

    Real LED Fog Lights

    I'm not sure what you'll find behind the light plugs, maybe a harness, maybe not... The lights are 19.2W/ea @12VDC and come with a standard detachable wiring harness. I'm not going to get into how to wire lights but it's pretty straight forward. Leaf owners only need the standard 6145, the J...

    Real LED Fog Lights

    They look fine and 100% factory. As they are DOT they produce 0% light above horizon and therefor zero glare into oncoming traffic. Take a look from a picture from our catalog. You can see the beam pattern of these and how they have full cutoff As for yellow (or more correctly, SAE Selective...

    Real LED Fog Lights

    Well, yes and no. "Light" itself doesn't begin to penetrate fog until you get into the IR regions (like a nice FLIR), and a yellow fog in combination with a 5000k headlight is actually more distracting as you have a really un-uniform color with sharp definition between light sources. In the US...
