I think I found the problem - I need to enable reporting of unplugged status in the vehicle. But when I try to do this in the car, it complains that I have to save a location before enabling this option. How do you tell the car that it should report unplugged status regardless of the location?
Carwings doesn't notify you when you plug or unplug. It notifies you when charging starts, stops or completes. The unplugged option you're looking at refers to the notification reminder that you're near a charger, but not plugged in.johnr said:I think I found the problem - I need to enable reporting of unplugged status in the vehicle.

Vitor said:Thanks a million Mike, I just started the charge.
True, I remember the unplug sheet of paper somewhere, anybody has a link to it?
Vitor said:Mike, thank you again.
Saw your note on MY ZEV's Leaf and your note on mine. Very appreciated.
I unplugged my Leaf, then stretched the cord to MY ZEV and activated with my card.
I talked to my friend in T1, he got to my Leaf about 5 minutes after I got my text message, he was outside of T1 when MY ZEV drove in. Very unlikely that somebody else disconnected just for the hell of it.
I didn't dare to unplugg MY ZEV, I just vented on this forum.
Mine is charged, I'm all good to go and I even plugged and activated him/her.
I will go through this again on Saturday morning. Coffee and donuts Mike?
Ok, if it notifies me when charging stops - even if it's not fully charged - that would work. But I have had no such success. I don't want to hijack this thread, so let's carry on this discussion here: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5365" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;davewill said:Carwings doesn't notify you when you plug or unplug.

Mike, where is the meet? I have been wanting to join a group.
This is great. I think I will also make a small laminated card and hook it to the charge port latch hook with a small caribeaner that says "see note on dash". This will be too hard to miss before unplugging.LEAFfan said:prberg said:Here is the link to the charging protocol card. I have one in my car so to avoid situations like the one you found at LAX.

I brought the protocol card up to date by changing and adding a few things. I also had to remove the box the red print was in and change the red to black so it would show better plus enlarged my phone number. This is what mine says:
If you need a charge, you may unplug my Electric Vehicle after it reaches the time indicated below or if the blue lights are out.
Please keep plugged in until the time indicated by the paper clip. (I made it more positive and eliminated the negative wording.) I made the lettering and numbers large enough so the whole card is the size of a sheet of copy paper (8.5x11).
Text notifications won't give you the plugged in state, just the charge stopped notification. Which is essentially what I had said.LEAFfan said:You don't need a smartphone or a PC.

You're no fun! We have the tar, feathers and I brought a rope.... Oh well, every party needs a pooper I guess! :lol:
