I drive from Union City to San Francisco every weekend - 70 miles round trip, with about 13-15 miles still left around. So i think you should be okay. On the freeway it is mostly 65 miles(with not much traffic on the weekend early morning). I do not put any a/c or heater. Only the...

Update: I got the free ev charger installed by the contractor they picked. (AV solutions - http://evsolutions.avinc.com/uploads/products/3_AV_EVSE-RS_consumer_061110.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) The total cost from me was $250(City permit fees of $120 some thing + rest...

I signed a contract for the PV install. $3.88 dc ppw ($5 ac ppw) Before taxes After taxes: $2.72 dc ppw and ( $3.5 ac ppw) After the federal tax credit. Hopefully the contractor will finish the work this year itself. 2.89 KW(AC) system 3.7 DC = 14 panels x 265 with 14 micro inverters thanks...

smkettner, swaltner: thank you. I am going to get quotes from a couple more dealers. Hopefully, with a lower costs I can break even under 10 years. Otherwise it is hard to justify these costs for myself. The EV1 rates at off peak hours from PGE here in California is about 10 cents/kWh. At...

I got a quote for $17k (before the 30% federal tax credit) Not sure if this is a good deal. The price per watt(I used the dc watt, should I use the DC or the lower A/C - which one do solar professionals mean when they talk about ppw) $3.67 (after federal discounts - $12,079/3270 dc Watts)...

Thanks for all the replies. DNAinaGoodWay: Yes, I am limited by the roof size(some tiles have vents, so have space for 10x 230W panels only ). Am also trying to keep my initial capital costs down. My goal is to keep myself out of tier-3 (>11kWh/day) in the most economical way.

I am in the same boat as you -trying to get a 240V outlet installed in the garage. I am in san francisco bay area though. I called a few electricians based on the yelp reviews, and I was told about $400(without the city permit costs, which might add another $200 I guess) Then I tried the...

Last week, I leased a new 2013 s(with QC). We have PGE(here in the bay area),and as my electric rate in E-1 is about 30c per kWh, am looking for ways to minimize daily charging costs. I have signed up for the TOU rates in EV-A, but as I work from home somedays, we have a fair bit of energy...

Just wanted to update, that I qualified for the free charger and installation program as in item (1) in my original post http://evsolutions.avinc.com/products/cec/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I was #196 out of the 300 monthly quota for California, I think. They still have...

Hello, I just bought a 2013 Nissan Leaf this week, and so far enjoying the ride. My kids eat food in the back seat, so i am looking for back seat covers that are not very expensive. My google searches show mostly the front seats. Any recommendations. thanks

thanks RonDawg. Looks like the EVSE option is much more expensive than I initially thought. I am going to go for a new 240V outlet in the garage (My electric dryer outlet has 240V, but not in the garage, but in a closet upstairs!) Irrespective of whether I buy EVSE station($500 - $1000), or...

Thank you, thank you! LTLFTcomposite: thanks, clipper creek lcs 25 seems to be $200 cheaper. I am still considering the home depot( mainly because I can ask for installation discounts)...

Hello, I am located in Union City, Bay area, California and planning to buy a Nissan leaf model s with quick charge tomorrow. I am a bit confused about the home charging installation options. 1) Apparently there is a form I need to fill in on the day I buy to see if I qualify for a free EV...
