charger stopped again tonight, only I was waiting for it. Stopped after 55 minutes today.
It won't stop again until it's complete.

You should put this in the sticky thread about wall-to-wheels efficiency.bowthom said:Blink unit shows 257.8 kWh total
Blink network reported 203.5 kWh total (Diff = 54.3 kWh or 21%)
Carwings reported 223.9 kWh consumed
801 miles driven.
Since Blink has fequent network problems, what they should do is store atleast a couple of weeks data in the unit and transmit all of it when they do connect. Currently on a particular day, if they can't connect that data is never trasmitted ! Poor design.Blink unit shows 127 kWh total
Blink network reported 106 kWh total (Diff = 21 kWh or 17%)
astralfish said:I have a question for you guys. I'm renting and so we need the owner's permission to have the charger installed. He doesn't live nearby. Is there a good way to explain/describe what will go down? For example, "A licensed, bonded electrician would install a conduit from the electric meter to the wall of the garage. An xyz type electrical outlet with xyz volts will placed at that location."
Because right now I can only explain the EV Project and Ecotality. Should I throw in there that i'll take it with me if we move in the future?
The SDG&E EV study is strictly an optional program. You can do the EV Project without a second meter.wsbca said:One possible complication - you're in SDG&E territory, so you're likely looking at a second electrical meter along with the EVSE. ...
And that is potentially the more valuable part of the free EVSE from the EV Project. Retail prices on different brands of EVSE's seem to be going down.davewill said:wsbca said:You can point out that all of the wiring would stay and be available for any EV or PHEV that a future tenant might own.
Well, that was real hard. A Google search for "Blink installation manual" brought it up as the first result.KillaWhat said:EV Project is finally coming to Pennsylvania.
Anyone able to get me a copy, scan or link to the install manual for the BLINK charger (EVSE)?? ...

KillaWhat said:One more question;
The install manual makes it look like the power cannot be run into the EVSE in a concealed manner (through the wall directly into the unit), but has to enter through a conduit knockout in the bottom of the unit.
It's like I HAVE to have a piece of conduit come out of the wall, and then into the EVSE.
Am I reading this incorrectly?
That's what I read as well. I'd be surprised if there were not knock outs in the rear but what you'll likely have installed is a receptacle and the link will plug in to it.

I'd love to see photos. How tall is the unit?
