    Has anyone used a Pursine inverter connected to the HV (High Voltage) traction battery? If so, where did you tap the pack for the (+) and (-) and what type/model puresine inverter did you use? I'm going to be at a location/building (Barn) where it's not feasible to run an extension cord.

    Went in for 50K service and got charged $50 for "Programming

    Does that sound right? My car went in for the 50K service that should've been ~$55 but they are charging me an additional $50 for "Programming". :evil: Probably just firmware updates. I did not authorize this. Anyone else run into this? My car is at Hanlees Toyota in Davis CA.

    Pre-Climate: Cinfigure it to work

    So I tried a couple times to set Pre-Climate to start at 6:30AM. I'm new at this so I may have missed something. I made sure the temp was set for the heat and the defroster on before powering off. Not sure if that matters. Nothing ever happened. The battery charge was full on bot times I tried...

    I have a spare j1772 cable 30A

    I had my Juicebox upgraded with a 60A j1772 24Ft cable so I have my old one rated at 30A ~16-18ft. Is it pretty easy to make this into a j1772 extension? Or is there a place I can send it to for the conversion for cheap? :D Thanks

    Anyone hear about this company??

    http://www.enginer.us/products/conversion_kit.php Seems like something one could use to augment a battery pack with for a small bump in range. The voltage should be close to our pack at some point of SOC below 80%?.......maybe? Anyway, I'm more interested in their DC DC converter for my purposes.

    I just had an electrician wire me a 14-60r socket in my garage to my service panel and measured 240vac. I plugged in the Juicebox 60A I bought from someone who had it for his Nissan Leaf.

    Using a leaf charger

    I think I read somewhere here that a portable leaf evse wont work on our rav4. Is this true? If so, is there a mod to make it work? Iv'e been seeing some popup on ebay for about $180 and thought if I bought one I could have it upgraded........as long as it works that is. Thanks

    Charge rate throttling

    Picked up my used 2012 RAV4 this past Tuesday. I was wondering if there is any way to throttle the charge rate when plugged into a public L2 6.6KW charger? Why do I ask? There are a couple of places I can charge around work but some want you out ASAP when you are fully charged. What I want to...
