That would have been a good solution when the battery was in the car, but now it is in that pretty shipping crate. LOL I used a couple of 300 watt bulbs to discharge my 120v VW pack but with a 300+volt tesla pack you would have to put those bulbs in series and it would take a while.

Dark had some nice ones at the last SoCal meetup. Larger I think. I also saw the stock sized ones that AmpedToy put on his car. Five lbs lighter he says

I tried it several months ago on a weekend and it was closed. Apparently they are only open during the week.

I use a Clipper Creek 25 Amp EVSE on my RAV4EV and my Smart ED with no known issues. I use a 30 Amo relay with a digital timer.

My workaround is to use a separate timer that cuts off all current to the EVSE. I am only using a 240v 20Amp EVSE so finding parts rated at 30Amps was easy, I used a 120v timer switch and a relay, but you can also use an Intermatic pool pump timer which is rated at 30Amps. You would need higher...

A listing of 30 Amp L2 EVSE's would be helpful. My recent trip to San Diego revealed that many of the Blink EVSE's have been castrated to something like 20 or 15 Amps. The only 30 Amp I found was at Stone Brewery, It is free but it is hard to spend time at a brewery and not drink a few beers...

You can't use Cruise Control and B mode at the same time. If I remember correctly shifting to B mode will turn off Cruise Control and while in B mode you cannot set a speed for Cruise Control but the graphic will display on the dash.

The Toyota technical guy reads this forum and tried to turn some of Tony's earlier comments against him. The arbitrator does not read this forum and is independant. I respect Tony's decision to not say a lot until after the arbitrators decision. EDIT There were two RAV4EV owneers there, one of...

I think that is known as turtle mode. Did you see the turtle?

You could strap (metal straps) the backing plate to the column like they do freeway signs on round concrete columns. Your installer can figure out something based on the limitations of the HOA. If you have a concrete wall, the above recommendation would work quite well. Without a more specific...

Does Fiat have an arbitration process? I talked to Kevin Spillane and he did not offer to buy back my car so I filed the paperwork for arbitration a couple of weeks ago. My arbitration date is October 22nd. My understanding is that if I don't like the result of arbitration I can file under the...

I would guess that a buyback coming out of arbitration might be considered voluntary. My understanding is that the arbitration is not part of the Lemon Law process, but rather something that we can do which doesn't cost us anything. If we go to court under Lemon Law then the presumptions (4...

How long did it take to get an arbitration date?

Do the manufacturers have to disclose that the car they are selling is a Lemon Law return?

Are you saying that after boot up of the Blink when plugged into your car, that you have to unplug the J1772 from the car and reinsert it in order for the car to begin charging?

There must be something in the handshake between the Blink and the Car. I don't believe the car goes to sleep because I use an external timer on a Clipper Creek. I often plug in to the car when the CC is off and at a few minutes past midnite the CC goes on and the car gets charged. The car often...

In Hermosa Beach an EVSE permit is free, but you have to get clearance from SCE that they have the right infrastructure. Basically that means they look at the transformer on the pole in the street and other loads in the neighborhood.

Nice to meet all of you. Sorry I had to leave early. Hope you got all those mirror modules installed.

I will be there with my "dirty" one also.

And AB327 looks like it will pass and that one might take away some benefits to solar NEM generators.
