    SB 16 in California: $100 annual fee for ZEVs

    This will translate into nothing more than the general fund, probably. This is quite a jump overall. They are getting plenty already. Really.

    Windshield stained from outdoor elements

    After reading what you have tried, the stain probably is not water- soluble, so I would try a solvent instead. Try mineral spirits applied with a micro- fiber cloth. Work in with 0000 steel wool if needed. Test on a small area first to see if it will work. Do not let it contact the paint.

    Poll: What did your Leaf replace?

    For many years I was using either my 2005 F-350 diesel or 2005 Chevy delivery van to commute 1500 miles per month. Both average 15 mpg on the commute. I leased a 2015 Leaf 8 months ago and it handles the 70 mile daily round trip beautifully, usually L2 charging to 100% once a day at the shop...

    Bench seats in front

    Bench seat + air bags may be a problem- passenger position may be too much of a variable.

    what gauge wire is needed for a 240 V 30 A circuit?

    Minimum 10 awg, maybe larger depending on length of run to be safe.

    L1 EVSE interference in home

    I'm thinking it may be a poor connection in the house's main wiring. I would have an electrician check connections starting at the meter, then where the wiring comes into the main breaker panel. Also sub-panel main connections as well if one is used to feed the car charging circuit. One poor...

    carwings distance calculation vs dashboard data

    Perhaps the original owner did not set up the CARWINGS account right away. Probably got done after the first 4K miles had been driven. I drove about 300 or so miles before I set up my CARWINGS subscription and I can see the different totals as well.

    New Owner...not brimming with confidence.

    Looks like you've got it figured out- good job! It looks like a good fit for you with a 25- 30 mile daily commute, and when you get your level 2 installed at home, you will be able to top off between runs in as little as 1 hour. I think you made a great move and I would have no range anxiety...

    Anyone use an outlet timer?

    Driving in B mode all the time?

    I think I understand your question- you are noticing a slight difference when you toggle from D to B, and vice-versa. Sort of like the diff between Eco and non- Eco, only very slight. I feel the same thing with my MY2015. It may be a difference in the accelerator pedal mapping to set it up for...

    240v to 110v transformer 4000w

    The factory trickle EVSE will only draw 12 amps max @ 120 volt as far as I know. A transformer will not help and I wouldn't even mess with one. Since you have a 240 volt dryer circuit in you garage, think about doing what I did- send your EVSE to evseupgrade.com and they will upgrade it to run...

    CA HOV Stickers

    I'm pretty sure I read on the DMV instructions to allow at least 30 days. I applied after reading the instructions on the DMV site. I made sure I waited until my registration arrived with the plates, as instructed. I sent it in, and they sent it back 3 weeks later, no stickers. They explained...
