    Leaf Spy and Leaf Spy Pro

    Jim, it was good to see you tonight! I noticed that Tony Williams posted a photo of the LeafSpy readout from the 2018 LEAF. Hope you don't mind me sharing it here as proof that it will work, even though some adjustments might be needed, as you said above.

    Electric-car charging stations rated: what's best, what's cheapest, what to avoid?

    Speaking of which, it looks like they just launched a UL-listed version: https://emotorwerks.com/store/residential/juicebox-pro-40-smart-40-amp-evse-with-24-foot-cable

    Hawaii study finds vehicle-to-grid discharge detrimental to EV batteries

    Tesla co-founder and first CEO Martin Eberhard on electric vehicle grid storage: "You can get about 90% of the value not by allowing the vehicle to put energy onto the grid, but rather just allowing the grid to have precise control of the charging of the vehicle."...

    NEMA 14-50 Charge Time?

    Thank you, much appreciated! I miss the early days of this forum - so many good things came out of this community. Saw this Facebook post by a taxi driver in Spain the other day. It prominently shows LeafSpy and all of its glorious stats.

    NEMA 14-50 Charge Time?

    There is an easy was to do this. When you get the MPGe figures on fueleconomy.gov, you can calculate the number of miles added per hour using this formula: Miles = MPGe x kW / 33.7. For the 2016 LEAF, this means that every kilowatt of sustained power will add 3.4 miles of range per hour...

    Charging trips GFCI on my hot tub?

    Intertek has a neat summary outlining what they test charging equipment for. FCC Part 15 and Part 18 verification is listed. Another thing to keep in mind, GFCI circuitry and pilot communication performance is subject to noise injection testing. If the device itself produces electromagnetic...

    I believe that eMotorWerks rewards participation in the SSP pilot with a $150 incentive. That's either a rebate to existing customers or an upfront discount on a qualifying EVSE. Regarding the structure of the pilot, including the economic benefits and rewards, I would encourage you to peruse...

    Dave, yes, I made that post on TMC. Someone from the staff reached out, and eMotorWerks is considering becoming a TMC sponsor.

    Support a Green Grid, and Earn Money While You Sleep!

    eMotorWerks have put a lot of effort into the PEV Pilot, and they were the only entity that kept it going. All other MDMAs have dropped out and the remaining ones, despite their experience and considerable resources, have not been able to place more than six devices in the field. Not enough to...

    A sincere thank you to this forum and its members

    Please give the i3 group on Facebook a consideration. We built a much better community there. I did not have time to engage on the forum very much, except in the early days, and given the influx of new members with intolerable behavior, I gave up on it in short order. Tom is still holding out...

    BREAKING: California’s Green HOV Stickers Are Gone

    Yes, absolutely. I watched the progression of AB-2013 through the State legislature last year, and there seems to be a good understanding that the HOV lanes are suffering from congestion. I think the chances are good that the green stickers will expire on January 1, 2019, and the white stickers...

    BREAKING: California’s Green HOV Stickers Are Gone

    Yes, exactly. There is about 30 days worth of application backlog. At the recent run rate of 90 stickers per calendar day, the remaining allocation is good for about 40 calendar days. All things being equal, the stickers could be all spoken for on or around May 21. If it's true that dealers are...

    BREAKING: California’s Green HOV Stickers Are Gone

    Just FYI: the Air Resources Board has updated their website in response to the report on InsideEVs this morning. There appear to be a few stickers left, and if you wanted to get a plug-in hybrid and drive in the carpool lane, now is the time to do it. The DMV has reportedly stopped the practice...

    2011 has heat pads in front seats. Help me turn 'em on!

    I vaguely remember seeing the control unit on the edge of the seat during one of the seat warmer installation meet-ups. I found this illustration in the shop manual for the 2009 Nissan Altima:

    2011 has heat pads in front seats. Help me turn 'em on!

    Darell, I'm sure that you have already looked at it, but if you didn't see this yet, the BayLEAFs held a few seat heater installation parties. Some of the visuals might be worth a glance: https://plus.google.com/photos/101202810889400918972/albums/5674942388911678273"...

    Replacement LEAF battery cheap compared to i3

    Here is a video battery teardown report from Munro & Associates. Although it's promotional in nature, perhaps it offers some welcome unusual visuals and couple of insightful points. I'm not quite clear how the modular architecture differs from the LEAF or other EVs on the market. The brick-like...
