    ESEV Energy Monitor

    The T.E.D. device aka The Energy Detective is a system that a lot of folks use to monitor their 240V PV systems where it feeds into the panel. Seems like ti would also work for the EVSE monitor. http://www.theenergydetective.com/store/ted-5000 Previous post on this topic...

    Insurance

    I liked AAA when it was just my wife and me as "the insured". When the first of my three kids began to drive it was clear AAA didn't want to insure my kids, based on the massive premium increase (no tix, no accidents, A students). When it was time for kid #2 to drive, I looked around and found...

    Most common LEAF service issue in first 3 yrs

    So, I've driven the LEAF and was amazed by it's sonic attenuation; i.e. very quiet. While we're all worried about battery issues, I'm guessing the one thing that will drive the service techs batty is the number of owners who come in and say "well, it's making this funny noise". I've owned an EV...

    Buying a LEAF....or not? Thoughts.

    Jeez, the forum stalking and calls from Tennessee are over the top. Don't those Tennessee folks have a factory to build? What, one Apple iAd and Nissan's turned into Apple-like control-freaks? Really, I think I wouldn't have been as diplomatic as you Gavin. As to your decision, I've never...

    Tell about your dealer experience for Aug. orders

    Danny at Fontana made it a smooth process. It seems like all his Day 1 business must have come from this forum. I had a question about the Quick Charge option and he suggested he could call Nissan for me to ask before I submitted the RAQ. Fontana gets a thumbs up from me so far.

    SF BAY AREA GROUP BUY - Save some CA$H

    As soon as you get a critical mass of buyers together, you might consider contacting more of the dealers in SoCal besides Fontana. I know of two who will match that deal (just not publicly on a forum). They might be closer. The added bonus is your power as a group. That should help sway a few...

    The fine print at the bottom of the "Quick Charge" option select page. *Quick charge capability currently is only available in limited markets and states where the public infrastructure exists. Quick charge port is TEPCO compliant and may not be compatible with future quick chargers. While...

    Leaf in California this next week!

    I contacted the "Live Chat" person and asked if an actual LEAF will be at the finish line of each stage of the Amgen Bike Tour. Response: The vehicle on the Tour is a pre-production vehicle. It is exactly like the vehicle which will be put into mass production. So, try and coax it over some...

    GUESS A LEAF's WEIGHT - 3,366 LB Official Weight

    Gee, I was thinking E=mc^2. So adding 24kWh of 'E' adds almost 1 microgram. (24kWh per 3.6e6 J / 2.998e8^2) ~ 1e-9 kg or 1 microgram. So, I'd like to change my answer!

    Short Article on Battery Costs, LEAF, and Nissan Profit

    That article is actually from this source: http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/told-you-so-nissan-close-to-profitability-on-leaf/ Most blogs reprint the entire article but give obvious attribution at the top or bottom; SeekingAlpha, not so much. This "math" seems squirrelly. Why assume...
