Fulgerite, your views of Tesla backlog and delivery are dated. Actually, the only people who are waiting more than 3 months now are those who ordered Red or the 40 kWh battery config (which was...

It also appears that the new deal also reinstates (and does so retroactively) the EVSE 30%/$1000 credit that expired at the end of 2011. I understand it will be applicable for 2012 installs as well...

One of the nice advantages of the Leaf EVSE (or upgraded EVSE that works 120 or 240V). It has a hole for a lock that prevents the J1772 end from being removed from the charge port. Using a simple...

The price is the same nationwide (or will be once they are all past their free trial). So, the costs are not CA specific. As I posted last week...

You can. It does come with 120V outlet adapter.

You can go to http://www.blinknetwork.com/locator.html and find stations. When you hover, it should tell you how much each costs, or it'll say "free".

It looks like the rollout of the fee-based charging has happened on the Blink Network. Not sure if its rolling out area-by-area, but here in the PHX area, most of the previously-free charge stations...

Not working for me now. keep getting the auth issue.

Another reason for EVs: The drought is causing corn crop shortages, impacting ethanol, which is mandated to 10% blend in US with gasoline. So, if the mandate is relaxed, even more foreign oil is...

How much does the TMS draw in addition to the AC? I.e. if I'm plugged into a L2 charge station outside, in the PHX sun, doesn't the TMS draw some watts as well?

And just like that a 2013 Volt moves about 2 notches down my list of cars to consider when my Lexus hybrid lease is up later this year. Pity really. Stupid decision by GM IMO. But maybe I can find a...

So, does this need to be set each time you charge, or is it a once and done setting?

OK. so I'm not crazy. First time I noticed it, I thought I was driving EXTREMELY efficiently somehow cuz I got about 10 miles without a tenth uptick on the kWh used meter haha.

Then I realized it...

Ditto that. And not just on the value and promise of EVs.

I fully expected a link to an Onion article. Wonder what it could be. Esp. with the point of "never crashing'.

Not sure if this has been reported/discussed previously, but I noticed something recently that seems like a bug. It has happened more than once, though I haven't tried to recreate it specifically.
...

2 Leafs, 1 Tesla Roadster, and my Volt. That's it so far. We have 4 outlets for 4 spaces. 3 of the outlets are 120V. 1 is a 208V. All on separate circuits, I believe. The Roadster uses the 208V. The...

Yep, it's clear the OP doesn't understand the concept of MPGe. Cuz if he's only getting 44 MPGe out of his Volt, its nothing to be proud of, regardless of 115 degree heat.

Perhaps he means...

I haven't had to lock mine much since I got my Volt. But MTN Ranger was nice enough to cut me a part of a basic cord protector and send it to me. I have used it once and works. I also have done the...

Yes, thus my concern about the switchover to fees soon. If they charge the fees they are planning, no Volt owner would use them. It's more expensive than gas. Then we're just looking at Leafs and the...
