Thx eHelmholtz - just ordered on line. Good information - saves me the time too of putting one together with parts and the circuitry!

Pete,

When will it be available in the North East? New York State?

(nice to know the motor is coming from GM’s Baltimore operations)

Thanks!

I'm looking for some sort of adapter to charge an older conversion EV from any EVSE level 2 - J1772 Charging Station.

Any ideas on where to buy or information on building (a simple solution) would...

When using an inverter be sure it's a good quality sine wave inverter. You may have issues with the ground fault circuitry in the EVSE unless it's wired properly.

Not a good thing to do with the cheap ones. A heavy duty 15A rated one would work but that would not leave any extra capacity for additional loads. What would be the purpose of using a plug strip?

WOW - I did H & R Block last year and needed to do the 8936 manually and mail in the return vs. efile. I called their customer service to point out that the 8936 was not there. Also, if you don't...

It's a 120/240 50A rated connector. As previously posted have an electrician check it out.

I did need to tie the N to G on the sine wave inverter to prevent a fault on the EVSE.

Expect to get 15 To 18 miles on a 1 1/2 hour charge for a level 2 charger.

Yes outdoors is fine it's NEMA 4 rated

Sure, please send me the discount code! Looks like a nice unit.

L2 spec max is 70A at 240v or 16.8 kW - have not seen any yet but that is the L2 spec.

Happened to me too - resent setup from the app and now it works again. Try that.

Not a good day - happened South of Rochester NY

Anyone know from either experience or maybe the battery system specification what is the ideal ambient temperature for the best battery range - mileage range??? I have an idea but it's just a guess!

Talk with an electrician. If it's for the 240v charger you would need a step up transformer rated for over 3300 watts and it would need a 30-40 A 120v circuit.

At $499 + tax and shipping for a SPX, probably not. And I believe you can take a fed tax deduction for the cost.

I think the capability of a battery upgrade makes sense - as battery technology improves, a more powerful battery for the Volt with a software change would be great - I don't think it's too...

If you added 1 gal now would it reset the stale burn timer? There must be a point when the car is happy with fuel being added that it does not need to burn stale fuel. Anyone know?

Good point - the Volt gives you the option depending on the cost per hour for the charging station. Just remember even in the Volt burning gas is probably more polluting than using grid power!
