I recently ordered and tested another EVSE :o I know, this must be my 10th! The purpose of this one was to include with my Leafs as I'm hoping to sell them at some point, as soon as our Rav4 Prime comes in or earlier. I don't want to include my OEM Leaf EVSEs as I spent upwards of $300 getting...

I'm not really a car racing watching guy but a listing on my Tivo got my interest. Looks like this Saturday(4-30) at Noon Central, CBS will be airing Formula E Racing, Monaco ePrix. Sounds interesting and I think I might give it a watch. What's not to like, EVs racing through the beautiful...

A friend recently purchased a house, built in the early 00s, one thing I noticed was a nice 6-30 outlet in the garage along with a 6kw electric heater mounted to the ceiling with a corresponding 6-30 plug. I measured the outlet early on and noted it seemed to have power, 120v on each leg, 240v...

Unless it was a joke and went over my head.......did anyone else notice the Superbowl ad for the Hummer EV? 1000hp, 0-60 in under 3 seconds :shock: no specifics about battery, just the CIA about driving safely :roll: With all the tongue in cheek ads, maybe this one was a fake poking fun at...

Did anyone else watch ABCs latest comedy, the other night? IMO it was a one and done(a real mess!) but one thing caught my attention and was wondering if anyone else caught it. A NYC couple inherit a farm in the middle of NE, they decide to uproot themselves and drive pulling a medium to small...

Looking into these 2 vehicles for a friend that would like to have the ability to go around 20 miles of EV range(they currently have a 15 mile RT commute) and then decent MPG for road trips. They also want an SUV(AWD) for our MN winters and a vehicle with a little more ground clearance than a...

I was watching CBS Sunday Morning news this afternoon and they had a statistic that shocked me. They said that LA broke a 131 year record yesterday, getting to 98 degrees :? and the old record was 95 degrees in 1885.......what am I missing? I mean 98 would be hot for MN for sure but not...

In the winter(basically October-March around here :( ) I never turn off my steering wheel heater, it's just on all the time I use the car. The problem is, and I've read this from others, I find every couple days?? it seems to turn itself OFF :x I don't notice it until the wheel is cold, then...

Well my Zencar portable L2/L1 EVSE came yesterday and so far I have to say I really like it. I ordered it directly from Zencar in China and paid via PayPal: $300 for the EVSE with 3 user selectable currents I specified to 13a(for a 15a circuit) 20a(for short term 20a circuit charging) and...

For those who might be interested, Amazon has just started selling yet another 16a L2 EVSE, this one made by EVmiles. It features a 14-30 plug and a 17' cable. The seller states it works not only on 240v(L2) but also 120v(L1) of course with a plug adapter and since this EVSE can draw up to 16a...

Searching Amazon I came upon another Chinese made EVSE, this one is portable and is adjustable to 10a, 16a and maxes out at 32a. While the company site does mention UL listing, I believe it's more talking about the J1772 connector and not the overall unit. It looks like it uses a NEMA 10-50...

I was just looking at the EMW website and ran across this little gem: https://www.emotorwerks.com/index.php/store-juicebox-ev-charging-stations/1661-juicecord-pro-20-portable-smart-20-amp-evse-with-20-foot-cable/category_pathway-23 It's a 20a 120v-240v smart EVSE in a nice portable enclosure...

Has anyone else noticed the prices of used Leafs are several thousand dollars higher now than they were several months ago? I've been watching Craigslist sales(mostly just local dealers) and in my area they seem to be $2-4k more now(and lots less of them) than there was when I bought my second...

While I'm not exactly new to the Leaf I'm new to the older '12SL model and I have several questions for any of you that may know the older models. I've looked through old posts but haven't found the answers to these particular questions: 1. Any way to add SOC% to the dash display? I assume not...

So my EVSE pulls 19a @ 240v. At home the voltage at the outlet is 237v NL(no load) and 233v under the 19a load. Using this setup I'm able to add 28% per hour to my '13 Leaf with the 6.6kw charger. At work I have access to a dedicated 30a outlet/circuit but at 208v(actually 203 at socket NL)...

Looking through Amazon listings for Level 2 EVSEs I came across this unit. It goes up to 7.2Kw and comes with a NEMA 6-50p so it will charge any Leaf at it's maximum. Currently no reviews on Amazon and no questions asked or answered. Here's a copy and paste of whats stated: "PORTABLE and...

Is anyone familiar with this portable EVSE? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0173JGZNQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2FOFVDA67L13W&coliid=IW7AKGK9DVRIA&psc=1 For $449 it's not a bad looking 20a(all they say is "nearly 5kw") Level 2 EVSE, 18' cord and looks to be as portable as our OEM...
