Any updates on this? did the update sold the issue?

Looks like CA gas prices are about to reach $5/Gal. Prices jumped 20c last night...

I switched to E9A several months ago. So far so good, but there are several gotchas.

The advantage of E9B is that it splits the electric bill to two separate accounts. This means that it's more...

Hey,

Just wanted to keep you guys posted to an issue I had and the solution to it.

In the last several days the volt center console showed an error, just after starting the car. Today I noticed...

Happend to me several times on hot days. Today is definitely a hot day in Palo Alto.

Here are additional examples:

Pretty nice review of the Cruze Wagon here

Sure wish there'd be a Volt Wagon - and if they also use the diesel...

For pure EVs (no ER), with 150 mile range, Better Place seems the best solution out there right now. Makes practical sense and has a solid business model. Frankly, it is the only way I can see to...

Again - the idea is not to remove the existing plug, all I'm saying is that instead with bundling the 110v EVSE, they should build it into the car with a retractable 110v cord/plug, so when you park...

The existing connector would not be removed, but rather the existing 110v charger would be integrated into the car as a simple retractable cable with 110v plug at the end.

This way, when you park...

GM should drop the external 110v charger and just have a built-in 110v cord with an automatic cord rewinder, like they have on many vacum cleaners.

That would make charging a lot easier, no risk...

Charger did not seem to show any issues. Was all green. Only car was showing weird behavior.

This is a GFIC plug installed just a couple of years ago and was working perfectly with everything else...

Has anyone experienced a problem with the car going in and out of charging, beeping to indicate so every 30-60 seconds?

This has happened twice in the last several days. Might be related to higher...

Anyone install solar as a DIY? (assuming pre-assembled panels, not ones you need to solder yourself)

How much was the cost of materials? did you get help from an electrician?

Where did you buy...

Actually, that would actually be a UPS (like used on PCs), but how big would it have to be?

Many electric companies charge lower rates during the night. In some cases, cost is 1/10 during night time.

Many people install solar to solve this problem, but what about storing power at night...

VW is still planning to do an electric Golf. Saw some running in NorCal on CA-85. They might be just repositioning their market approach.

Thanks for the excellent reply. Will call PG&E this coming Monday. Looks like the E9A would be the best fit for my needs.

With all the recent changes, does anyone know if the E9-A plan is still available?

If it is, what does it take to switch to this plan?

If rates changes, how hard would it be to switch plans...

So, is it still possible to get on E-9A? or is it already suspended?

Is my understanding that the new proposal blocks joining E-9 programs but will keep rates unchanged? when does it come into...
