    400 kW Tesla Charging via Chargepoint

    liquid cool cable sound dangerous. It implies that you are on the verge of meltdown. And connectors tend to have more issues and can't easily be cooled.

    Glimpse into the trump future

    Here is the real deal. Even bad policy can't change the way things are moving. This year solar is projected to be cheaper then fossil fuels! One gallon of gas has about 6 KWH of electricity associated in refining it. In fact the Saudis have started using solar electricity to pump oil because...

    24 hours with my new 90D

    I love the car! It does have a few thinks I don't like. 1) The rear view mirrors don't fold back out 100% 2) I can't connect to either my airport extreme, or my airport express 3) The car is too fast. It is easy to get car sick as the driver. That being said I LOVE the car.

    Choosing Options - For a Newbie

    I just bought a 99D (picked it up today). The price was over the top ($105,000), which made me pass on some features. Here is what I choose and my first impressions. - 90 KWH ... coming from a Nissan Leaf I think I could have lived with a 60 KWH but my wife wanted the 90. My drive home from...

    Grandfather Free Supercharging Please

    I don't think you are doing the math. Most people go one one road trip during the life of their car, but lets say you do one 2000 mile road trip every year. If you are getting 333 watt hours per mile and you are paying $0.12 per kWh then that means you are paying $0.04 per mile. Or $80 per...

    I loved my Leaf. As a second car it was perfect! About four times a year I wanted more range.

    I hired a professional, but was he did wasn't rocket science. He pressure washed the floor then he washed the floor with sulfuric acid. The acid wash made a huge difference! then they did two coats of epoxy. Each time I took 24 hours to dry. Then I waited two more weeks before using. On my...

    One of the city's near where I live has free EV Charging. One day I really needed a charge so I headed to the Rec center for some juice. Only to find a Tesla parked there. My little Nissan Leaf was starving. Now chances are that Tesla was just getting free electrons because he could. It was...

    Free charging

    But honestly isn't your time worth more than $1 per hour. Most free chargers are level 2 chargers with give you 6.6 KWH of electricity. In one hour that is ($0.12 * 6.6 = $0.76 {$0.12 is the national average for 1 KWH of electricity}). And at my home, I can charge at $0.07 per KWH. Which...

    90 D Multi Pattern Seat Construction: Same as Leather?

    I have ordered the 90D premium fabric seats. I always buy leather but when I saw this I thought they looked nice. I should be picking up my car the week after xmas. I will have remember to write a review after they come it. The 60D and 70D fabric seats are just way too ugly, in my opinion.

    In my last house I had my charger installed for $200. But that was for a 30 amp charger. In my current house I had them install a drier plug in the garage when they built the house. That also cost $200. I really regret I didn't install two of them.
