Hi all you PHX Area Leafers.
I'm fairly new to this forum and I try to read up on most posts from AZ and comment if possible/necessary.
I just had my Blink installed yesterday by George from Kortman Electric.
Nice Job, took only about 3 hrs, just have some problems with my Guest Wifi connection.
My Silver Etec Leaf is supposed to be delivered next week Thursday at Power Nissan Chandler.
I'm super exited and can't wait for the “never getting gas anymore” feeling.
My commute is only 20 miles per day, so I will be ok with the range.
Due you guys have any range experience with the AC running from last weeks first really hot days??
A Silver Etec will be parked at Intel starting hopefully next week Friday.
I just hope that Intel is going to install some Chargers, so we Leafers can run our AC while parked during this coming summer heat.
Which Intel building do you park at? Myself and another Intel employee on this forum have contacted the Intel site managers, and the response has been that they won't install any charging stations until they get sufficient demand. I'm not sure what constitutes sufficient demand, but I remain hopeful. I work at CH7 where they are beginning to install covered parking with solar panels. I hope that they don't limit this to the ~200 or so parking spots that are currently under construction by Solar City. Even if they only placed a few 120V outlets on a few of the covered spots that would work for me.
P.S., I took delivery from my Leaf from Power Nissan Chandler on the 1st. Alan is the Leaf sales manager there, very knowledgeable and helpful person.
Oh, and I've found that if the charger drops the wi-fi connection to your router, best way to resolve it is to power-cycle the Blink. I think their wi-fi stack has problems rediscovering stations if it gets dropped. My Blink was installed with 1.2A firmware, and was remotely updated to 1.4A last week. It's been more stable since then, but I still need to power-cycle if it drops which hasn't happened in about a week now.
