NYTIMES.COM Electric Leaf’s True Believers Won’t Leave Well

[JimSouCal]

The New York Times has an interesting article on Phil's EVSE upgrade, and Gary's SOC meter; written by Bradley Berman.... Makes one feel happy to have the EVSE upgrade running in good stead here... (did a search so hope this isn't redundant).

A version of this article appeared in print on October 16, 2011, on page BU10 of the National edition with the headline: When Electric Car Owners Talk, Nissan Listens..

Should see it in print Sunday.

That Two LEAFs charging from one J1772 adapter in Waidy's hands is mine. It's actually an L6-30P to two L6-20R adapter that combined with http://modularevpower.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; J1772 to 14-50R adapter allows you to plug two of Phil's http://evseupgrade.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; L6-20P to J1772 modified Nissan LEAF EVSE. Now if you were at a 70A J1772, you could share that with 6 LEAFs when you have a bunch of LEAFs meeting.

Great articles. Brad did a great job showing some of the innovation from the LEAF community.

Indeed. I put the other article in the news section.
