I agree with smkettner. It's not the word charger/EVSE that's the problem, it's understanding your car will only charge as fast as it's designed to. Everyone calls it a charger, even the charger manufacturers! EZ-Charge calls them charging stations, not EVSE stations. Chargepoint, Blink, EVgo...

Thanks. It sounds like I am good then. This is an outside outlet that's to be used JUST for the car charger. What would happen in someone plugged a dryer in there (a three wire plug, not the newer 4 wire ones)? Would it be unsafe? Not that that's likely to happen, just curious.

Hi all, I replacing my dead Voltec charger with a portable charger (sorry, EVSE, I got chided last post for calling it a charger :roll: ) with a NEMA 10-30P plug at the end. I took off the Voltec and saw I had a red, black and green wire. I was expecting a red, black and white (hot, hot...

Hi everyone. Spent a week with my 2016 SL and love it. A few questions: In my Volt I can see how many miles I put on since the last full charge. This is very useful as I can add the miles driven to the miles left to get a much better picture of actual "per tank" miles to expect. I don't see...

Thanks for all the info. Let me see if I can describe what I have better. I have a Voltec charger that stopped working. The green light in front stopped working one day. I checked youtube and saw a common problem was the two soldered fuses would blow. A quick check showed them to be good and I...

Purchased a 2016 loaded SL on Friday but won't get it until tomorrow. It's killing me :x I have been pouring over your forums for about two years but can't find some answers I have questions to. If you don't mind, I could use some help. What L2 charger should I get? I have a broken L2 from my...

YES DC charging port YES 6,6kW charger YES Solar Panel YES LED headlights YES 360 cameras YES BOSE (you have for sure) YES Leather interior YES Steering wheel heater, 3x seat heaters, 2x door mirrors YES Heat pump YES 30kWh battery (not 24kWh) YES rain sensor Not sure. tinted windows Not sure...

Yea, there was an $8k Nissan promo that he used. But for some reason he took $2k off the MSRP then gave us $6k off so it worked out the same. Probably some funny math to get him a bigger commision or something, who knows? All I know is $22k OTD (after all rebates) seemed pretty darn cheap for a...

I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but I think he took 2k off the MSRP, plus $6k off with two Nissan programs. Plus the 10k off for state/fed rebates, brought it to $22k with tax, license and all fees. And it was zero interest. So we financed the entire amount and taking the $20k we have...

Yea, I finally took the plunge after 2 years of research here and elsewhere. Paid $32,400 OTD for a fully loaded 2016 SL with every option! I wanted white and the Bose system. After fed and state rebate it will cost me $22,400, minus the $11,000 I got from my insurance for a beat up 2008 Prius...

I haven't been following this thread for a while because it's gotten so convoluted with all these rate changes. I will say this: I can't use up my credits fast enough. I've been running my AC non-stop, charging my Volt, running the pool pump and I am still at $280 in credits with $7-$20 summer...

Around 22k on the 2013 SL missing one bar.

If I get a used Leaf will I get free charging at Nissan dealers? There are several near me with L3 chargers and the thought of a 20 minute top off is appealing. I think I saw somewhere that you can get free charging from Nissan for two years on a new Leaf, but I think that is for commercial...

Hi, I am considering buying one of the following: USED 2013 SL Leaf with Prem package for $14,500 OTD. Car is perfect but has one bar missing on battery condition. NEW 2015 SV Leaf for around $28,000 OTD or $18k after state and fed rebate. NEW 2016 SL Leaf with 30kw battery for around...

Hi, I have a Volt and love the car. My wife doesn't like driving it however (she thinks it's too big, bad visibility and we made mistake of no backup camera). Anyway, we are considering another electric to add to our fleet (2008 Prius, 2014 Subaru Impreza). We like the ride, room, versatility...

Just got my check for the surplus I had! I didn't think they were going to do that. I read they would send a surplus at wholesale rate, but I got the full amount SCE charges. I had $75 surplus and got that back. Probably the last time that'll happen as they changed the rate structure for 2015...

There might be a saving grace. After listing all the new TOU rate structures, it states: Have an Electric Car, or Thinking About Getting One? If you have an electric car, a TOU rate plan for electric vehicles might ideal for you. The link takes you to the current TOU-EV rates. So either we...

Man, this company sucks. Who can figure out these byzantine rate structures? I need a spreadsheet and a degree in accounting to figure this out. And why so many rate structures? All I know is I think the days of "beating the system" are over, where electric car/solar panel owners use the rates...

It's a yearly cycle. You get a final bill after a year where you settle up. Each month the credit carries over until the end of the 12-month cycle. Basically you rack up credits in the spring/summer and then use them during the less productive winter months. At the end of the year whatever is...

I'm at a $340 surplus with three months to spend it :lol: I've run the A/C a lot these last few months (even on peak) too since we've had a hot, late summer. I charge my Volt and run my pool every night and don't scrimp too much, but I generated a lot of power on my 6k PV system and had a...
