Thanks to johnr and this thread, I made my own 120/240V KWH meter. It wasn't too difficult (even for a newbie), and cost me about $50. Thinking about putting it in a waterproof enclosure, like the one on...

What was your total trip mileage? About 80 miles? That's pretty good, although I hope you weren't too hot!

Regarding range, I usually charge to 80%, and get about 55 miles. What are other people getting on Oahu? Please share your range experiences.

Anybody sign up for HECO's EV pilot rate program? I'm thinking of getting a second meter dedicated for the Leaf. It'll be about 5 or 6 cents cheaper from 9p to 7a. But it'll also be a nice way to know exactly how many kWh I'm using to charge the Leaf. Just gotta see how much it is to install...

No, I don't think the state rebate will pay for running a 240 line. You might be able to claim the $1000 federal tax credit, I gotta check with my accountant. Just had an electrician run a 240v line, the cost was $500. He set up a 30a line, with 12 gauge wire, even though many recommend 40a...

I'm planning on getting the EVSE upgrade, but need to install a 240v L6-20 outlet so that I can charge at L2. Can anyone recommend a good electrician? What should I tell the electrician to ensure a successful install? Thanks, jj

So Tony Nissan has a few "extra" Leafs on their lot. Apparently, there were extra cars on the last shipment (so these aren't orphaned). Anyway, they are for sale! The only thing is that the markup is $3000 over MSRP! So for a 2011 SL with DC quick charger, they want $37,400. Is this...
