Thanks everyone for the detailed and quick replies - I know where to turn for answers - Mahalo!

Am wondering whether I am "wasting" electricity by routinely fully charging my 2013 Model S - we have two 2013 Model cars and one 220v station in my home. Now on that I am on PV at home- I am watching my electricity usage more. One car has to charge daily due to daily travel distance. I can...

tx nsayer et all - I have done just fine with my Level 1 attached to the garage door outlet and hanging down with some strapping to alternate between our two leaf 2013s. We are about to get a Level 2 installed for free from a Hitachi / Maui EV project - they are going to install a carwings...

Good point - further research mentions a dc fast charger on the S - but it is sketchy and probably an option. Thanks for bringing this up, Seems like per http://green.autoblog.com/2013/07/17/2014-nissan-leaf-will-get-smallest-of-upgrades-compared-to-2013/"...

I am probably fortunate to get a free level 2 for my two 2013 Model S Leaf's through a Hitachi Maui partnership. In the same line - my lease has only one more year to go so wondering about the future - knowing all 2014 models now are standard with dc fast quick charge ports (unlike my 2013...

Yes - thinking the fees will go away - only required based on a saturation % for my area.

FYI - was using ~380 kwh / mo prior to Leafs (2) now ~750 kwh / mo. Again 3.3 kw chargers at 110.

My prior electric usage totaled ~$140 / mo, with extra $ for propane water heater, dryer, and range. Running about $350 with the 2 Leafs. I want PV, but waiting out the politics. Glad to hear the 240 would be more efficient. Probably will go there - hard to justify the solar water heater for...

Thanks cwerdna - I meant that I haven't paid for any Level 1 or 2 chargers at the many locations that they are available to the public on Maui. I will look into the 220 Level 2 some more - it requires a permit and electrician so have been avoiding the $ / hassle, but worth looking into if I am...

Thanks for the feedback! Oh well....

I was wondering whether anyone had looked into the ~$760 Wagan Solar ePower Cube product at Costco as an option for charging your Leaf. We have 2 2013 Model S 3.3kw Leafs and live in an area on Maui that is highly saturated with PV and thus the local electric company requires each home PV...

Mahalo (tx) all. Here is a link from my friend Liam going to the top of Haleakala (10k foot volcano on Maui) and back! http://vimeo.com/47432693" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Well we got them yesterday. $199/mo, $1,999 down - we traded in our identical 2000 Hyundai Tiburon's for $1,200 each. Could have gotten 36 mos for ~$20 more / mo, but opted to hold out with just 24 mos, so that we can see how the newer models will improve. Due to our low daily mileage (one...

I know - but on an island I think that this will work , except for trips to Hana : ) plus - only a two year lease. tx

I forgot - as these were shipped ahead - no options, only base model S 3.3kw charger 2013 $199/mo x 24 mos +$1999 down "deposit (although not returned)". I will ask about the disposition fee. Not feeling like I have much room to negotiate - as it is sort of as is. thanks for the comments.

My partner and I are looking to lease two 2013 model s Leafs on Tues - any concise pointers? I am reading through the forum and appreciate everyone's comments. Especially interested in VPP and any other options to reduce out of pocket. We are trading in our cars and have each already put $500...

Is there any problem with using the same 120 outlet gfci at the same time to trickle charge our two model s 2013?

We are getting our two leased model S 2013 Leaf cars next Tues and excited. I just heard a story on NPR this afternoon about car "black boxes" - supposedly 90% of new cars have these and efforts are underway to make them mandatory. The function to record key operations and be accessible for...

Quite true - back to home base We'll have one silver and one black - which is mine is yet to be determined :lol:

Mahalo (thanks) Boomer23!! I will give this info to our contractor. I am certainly looking forward to the Leaf. By chance I took a long drive today ~55 miles rt with my ICE - got me wondering how easy it will be to aimlessly wander around driving on a lazy day. It was a once in a blue moon...
