FYI, I went to the Safari Park (Wild Animal Park) over the break and checked out the RV spots. Unfortunately, the panels were locked so I could not open and take a picture (ended up taking the gas car so did not pay for the RV spot, which, presumably, would have given me the key to that lock)...

I'm planning to visit the Safari Park next week and know there are RV parking spots there. There are even LEAFs that have been known to charge in those spots, according to the following thread: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3318 And here're the RV spots according to Google...

Yeah, I'm doing it this week for my LEAF and for the gas car. Just plug in the GPS in both cars and the OBD in the gas car and leave them plugged in for 7 days. Then you keep a travel diary for a 24 hour period only for each member in the household. While the travel diary is relatively involved...

Well, I left fuse #34 out all night and plugged it back in this morning and the console has been behaving so far. So I guess when the moisture has evaporated, it goes back to normal. DaveinOlyWA, don't know what to tell you. Other than to be very careful when cleaning in and around the console :)

I went to check on it and saw through the window that the console had stopped opening and closing. As soon as I unlocked the door, it stopped doing the open/close thing again. I'll check one more time tonight and then take fuse #34 out. And call the dealer in the morning :(

Well that's too bad. I just cleaned the inside of the car and my console started doing the same thing when the car is turned off. I am letting it cycle on and off for now, hoping it'll stop at some point. If not, I plan to remove Fuse #34 (as highlighted in this picture...

So I made the trip to LAX from around the Huntington Beach pier and made it back with 16 miles showing (2 bars left). Started out with 100% charge (101 miles estimate showing). Drove to LAX going mostly 55-60 mph on the freeways. By the time I got to IKEA in Carson, I had only used about 3...

Yeah, I was looking at Power Nissan initially. But they'll be closed by then and close off access. I'll be heading to LAX around 9pm or later. I figured most of the dealers will be closed by then and, I suspect, all close off access to the EVSEs when they close anyway. So the IKEA location...

Does anyone know if the IKEA Blink stations are available after-hours? I need to make a trip to LAX from Orange County and was thinking about stopping by at the IKEA Carson after they have closed. Shouldn't need it for the round trip, but this is my first long trip in the winter and I know the...

Saw a white one with OC Nissan license plate holder with two women inside on Fairview and Adams Ave in Costa Mesa (heading northbound on Fairview). Pulled next to them, waived, and gave thumbs up. They did too! My wife was excited because she normally messes up and incorrectly waves to Nissan...

I opted for the rollover credit but, frankly, I did not really think about it much when I sent the form back. Either option you choose, they're going to take your surplus kWh and multiply by the wholesale rate (~$0.04/kWh) at the end of your "Relevant Period" and give you the dollar credit (so...

Very interested. Thanks!

This is excellent news. I had written to the HB City Council to consider installing EVSEs at City Hall and at the Central Library (especially, considering the giant solar arrays they have there). Had also written to Bella Terra management back in July. Plus, also recommended the sites on the...

LEAF Navigation System Owner's Manual: Page 6-4 I believe that the timer starts after you power off the car and open and then close any of the doors. I have mine set to 0 seconds and the lights turn off immediatley when I close the door after exiting.

I had 8/2 with ground wire put in. This should cover up to 40A. Some people prefer to install 8/3 with ground instead to be even more future-proof. Since I'm only using the EVSEUpgrade unit, I have a 20A breaker and the L6-20 receptacle. That way I can plug the upgraded unit directly into that...
