I am thinking that after 2 years, you probably have already sorted this out. If not, I will try to help. Just bump the thread again to let me know you are still hanging around.

These might be out of your targeted area... but accessible to SV within a 30min commute: Township Luxury Apts (2 Chargepoints J1772) 333 Main Street, Redwood City Franklin Street Apts (GE Wattstation j1772) 1553 El Camino Real, Redwood City Shelter Creek Condos 4231 Shelter Creek Ln, San...

I am not a big fan of leasing. Instead of you reaping max value, the lease company is the one who skims your hard earned dollars. Here is an article released today on Bloomberg about how a lease can actually scare buyers of your home away. Summary, a lease scares buyers away, a purchase does...

I don't know about anybody else, but if I were buying a house, I would pay more for one equipped with solar. That is, I believe much of the added value of an installation generally translates to a higher appraised and potential selling price of a house especially since the tech is so in vogue...

I also have the 1.5 in thermarest. What bugs me about it is when I sleep I tend to roll around from flat on my back to my side. The parts of my body, knees/feet/backside tend to slide off the pad enough to where I notice it and it bothers my sleep. I am not a big guy, 5'8", 145lbs. This is why I...

One last post here before I offer the Truck-bedz mattress on ebay.... Any takers?

The first CP station is ICED by two cars though you can not see it from the photo ( at a park in Larkspur). Just after I plugged (at the second station) in a cop came rolling down the lot and I raised my hand to get his attention. I walked up to his open window and said, There are two cars here...

I have put my sleeping quarters together today. After trying the recommended Truck-bedz mattress option from the pre-mentioned blog, I decided that route was a real PITA. I did not like that: 1) The mattress inflates to 8in high and pushes the sleeper up to the level of the passenger window...

OK Brock from WI gets the gold star. With that setup I can get a decent rest and hustle from the parking lot to the party boat in fairly quickly. And APV - it is OK I call myself a cheapskate. You doing it is something different all together. You have now demonstrated what you are to the...

Apvb - comment not appreciated Anyway, thanks RonDawg for the tip. I like the idea. Here is the link for me to reference later: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=14737" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anybody have a creative way to get a normal nights sleep in your Leaf? I am too much of a skin flint to get a $50-100 room in some dumpy town to sleep from 11pm to 4:30am when I need to run off to the fishing boat. So, the front seats don’t recline flat which is a problem for me. If you are...

Can you link to where the topic is? I recall on one of the plug share apps a guy in a red truck who consistently ICEs the same popular station, and when approached, said his 4x4 was an EV. He thinks the person who pointed it out did not know the difference and he continues to repeat. Bottom...

Years ago, traveling to Venezuela, it was brought to my attention the way the traffic authorities dealt with people from parking in the airport loading zone. The authorities would apply this sticker across your windshield. They did this because the Taxi drivers liked to park in these areas and...

Error in my above post: for every dollar (TBC-$7500) > AMT, you gain the same for the credit until you reach the $7500 maximum. This should read: until you reach the 30% cost of the station+installation.

OK, I spent some time on this and have things figured out why some claim to being able to leverage the Personal Charging Station Credit (PCSC) and others not. The summary is, a person will only benefit from the PCSC if their tax before any credits (TBC) [line 1040 line 44] is greater than their...
