    S vs S Plus

    $38/mo * 12 months * 10 years = $4560. A good Level 2 EVSE (*) is about $500 with another $200-800 for the electrician to do the installation (cost varies depending upon how far from the electrical panel it ends up being). So the deal from your electric company appears outrageously expensive...

    Charge Smart MA, anyone using successfully?

    As best as I can tell, the LEAF is not eligible itself for either of the MA programs: Charge Smart or ConnectedSolutions EV/PHEV Program. It does look like you can enroll a LEAF it if you have a supported WiFi-connected EVSE. You can only be enrolled in one; I'm in the later. But only 1 of my...

    Charging question on Leaf 2019

    To get the credit you needed to fill out IRS Form 8911 (Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit) when filing your taxes. The credit applied to the installation of an EVSE - it was not tied to the purchase of a car. However, the EVSE credit expired on Dec 31, 2021. It has not (yet)...

    Charging question on Leaf 2019

    What size circuit breaker is it on? 30A? 40A? For future-proof, I would recommend a minimum of a 40A circuit (which you can use for an 80% continuous load; e.g., charge at 32A). As noted by alozzy, I would also suggest you return this EVSE and get another one. This is limited to 16A. If...

    Corrections: kWh is a capacity. kW is a rate.

    How to post images / photos

    Two choices: 1. Become a paid forum supporter and upload images directly to the forum when you make a post. 2. Upload to a hosting site (e.g., imgur.com) and follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. The owner of the forum long ago decided that option 1 is a premium level service.

    Battery Test

    For my LEAF, it was performed free at the end of the 1st year and the end of the 2nd year; for my 3 year lease, I would have been responsible for paying for it on the 3rd year. If you asked for it to be performed at 6 months, then they might have charged you for the extra unnecessary service...

    Anbull 120v/240v 16a max, inexpensive adjustable Chinese EVSE

    The UMC doesn't have a "standard" plug; instead, the adapter pigtail is the plug. Originally the UMC that came with the car included the 5-15 and 14-50 pigtails; so Tesla preferred the 14-50 over the 6-50. Connecting a pigtail tells the UMC what the maximum amperage it can provide (e.g., 24A on...

    Anbull 120v/240v 16a max, inexpensive adjustable Chinese EVSE

    I have seen one: at the fishing cabins we visit in upstate NY. I've been using it one week each year since 2017. But it's the only 6-20r I've ever seen. (I bought a 14-50r to 6-20p adapter to use with my UMC1, since that was all I could find back then. Using the adapter with the UMC means I...

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    The ARPAnet (and its original NCP) was the breeder reactor that birthed TCP/IP, which in turn grew into a vibrant non-government Internet. To use the words ARPAnet and failure in the same sentence is ridiculous. If the ARPAnet had failed, there would be no Internet today as we know it. Do you...

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    Many of us here are. That's why we drive electric cars and post on this electric car forum. Then there are those here who don't drive electric cars and make excuses to explain why. :o

    Hydrogen and FCEVs discussion thread

    Well, there was the whole GOSIP fiasco -- where some in the U.S. Federal govt decided they needed the OSI protocols for wide-adopted computer networking, simply because it was designed by a bunch of committees paid for by the (mostly European) government(s). Except that the OSI protocol suite...

    Elon Musk

    True, but in this case Twitter is not censoring anyone in this case. That would be like saying the owner of this forum is censoring one user because another user put the first one on their foe list. Musk *blocked* Reich from viewing or responding to Musk's tweets. He did this because Reich made...

    My Nissan Leaf 2022 SL Plus Experience

    I just read up about CAMVAP, which at least Nissan is a participating member. https://ic.gc.ca/eic/site/oca-bc.nsf/eng/ca02998.html

    As I noted above, a letter invoking your rights under a "Lemon Law" might wake them up.

    Elon Musk

    Musk blocked Reich on Twitter for good reasons a few years ago, and Reich is still annoyed at it. Reich is a leech on the economy.

    Picking up my 2015 Leaf today.

    An SL will have the blue circle button on the upper left of the steering wheel. Pressing this will open a map on the center screen; the smaller of the two range circles shown will be close to the true range of the car. Definitely ignore the range displayed on the dashboard.
