50 in Reno, NV in the summer... 44 in Cathedral City, CA in the winter... the difference is that in Cathedral City I use the A/C... in Reno I don't.

I play golf now whenever its not too windy or rainy.

I purchased my SPX Power Xpress last Sept or Oct. Since I have two houses I take the EVSE with me when I travel to and from my second house every April and October. I mentioned several times my...

I guess that another alternative would be to put a NEMA TT-30 plug onthis up-converter. Has anyone found a cheaper way to do this?

Yes... see this link. How do you propose to provide the signaling?

Also, I think any damage caused by the connection as proposed would not be covered by the warranty.

Hmm..., I just did a private party search on any used Chevy Volt for a range of 100 miles from zip 90803 on three different used car search engines, usedcars.com, edmunds.com and cargurus.com. My...

Good point mikeg3, I'd NEVER do this in a public RV park, even with a "locally licensed electrician". I spend about half the year at the same "own your own lot" RV park (I am the owner of the lot)....

I live in an RV park for about six months a year. It is a simple matter to change out the 30 amp, 120 volt breaker to provide the required 20 amps @ 240 volts. At least is was for me. See the...

Future Volts need some kind of "Valet Mode". I am retired and my wife and I go out to eat dinner probably two or three times a week. Most moderately priced restaurants both here in Reno and at our...

Your post does not say how much time that you have to prepare, but I would start with CarZin's blog. It has most all that you need.

Here is one from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnMxtET-gWg.

Hmm... I read a similar article in April of 2005 about the coming of HDTVs. I invested at the time in Corning Inc. when a share of GLW was only $13.75. GLW closed today at $13.26. Sure wish I...

See post #14 on this thread.

The SPX Power Xpress comes with a NEMA 6-30P plug that will work. See it here.

If I were doing it, I would get the SPX Voltec Charging Station ($490++), the NEMA 6-30PRA to ROJ 13 1/2IN No Strip 6FT 6IN Heavy Duty Power Cord 10/3 STOW CEE from Americord ($28.33++), replace the...

Offhand, I can think of a couple of questions:

Do you have an assigned parking space?
Indoors or outdoors?
How far to a 240 volt source?

Three seconds after selecting "Valet Mode" you may enable the mode by entering a PIN on the center console display. The mode could be disabled by entering the same PIN that was used to enable the...

The Chevy Volt VIN

A typical Chevy Volt VIN looks like this: 1G1RF6E46CU114062, is 17 characters in length, alphas are always capitalized and 'I', 'O' and 'Q' are not used.

Characters 1-3 are...

I only use gasoline twice a year. I follow the user guide and keep my tank only one-third full and only fill the tank the day before I leave on my semi-annual trip between Cathedral City, CA (winter...
