That's interesting. Thank you for sharing. For some reason when my e-Golf goes to sleep it triggers the fault light in my Leviton 160 charge station. It reads fault if charging is complete or if I set the charge timer (which never wakes the car up to charge). It will briefly go back to ready if...

My LEAF's 12v only charged from the traction battery when the cars was on and not plugged in. I assume it's the same with the e-Golf-- does anyone know for sure?

I agree. It cannot be that difficult. The LEAF app texts you when the car is done (unless you turn off that feature).

Okay, I'll look for a gas powered coffee maker next time I'm at Bed Bath & Beyond. Wile I'm at it, I'll buy a gas can, generator, and the gas to run the generator so that I can create the electricity to run my coffee maker while the 24 kWh battery in my garage just sits there next to the power...

I agree. I've thought about it, and I'll bet that the e-Golf would do quite well, especially with the right tires. I recall small (not that powerful) hatchbacks doing better than muscle cars when I did a couple events years ago (in an ICE). I'm also tempted to try it with my e-Golf because the...

Do you have a political beef with environmental conservation?

Let's just say that I think the world would be a better place if we burned less gas.

I appreciate the suggestion, and understand that getting a generator would be logical; however, I have no intention to get a gasoline powered anything. I don't even have a gas can at my house. Connecting a power inverter to my LEAF worked well for my limited needs (I wasn't using it to power my...

I connected the inverter directly to the battery on my LEAF; however, there were some nuances that I had to work out so that the 12V would recharge as needed from the traction battery (e.g., leave the car on and connect the negative cable to the DC-DC converter). There is a good thread about...

Yes, press the "car" button to the right of the touch screen. At the bottom left of the screen you will see a little radio icon.

I was just playing with settings and noticed that in the car function (hard selection) there is a little radio icon. It was set to 87.7. I changed it to a station that I want, and now I'll see if it solves my phantom radio preset problem. It's an odd place to hide that feature.

Thanks, glad to hear that I'm not losing my mind. :-)

I live in an area that was developed in the 1950s, and they ran out power lines along a tree lined creek between the back yards of the houses, which means if you fast forward 60 year our power lines feed through established trees and our power goes out with a certain regularity. I was able to...

Sometimes when I power on my car I experience static because the radio is tuned to 87.7 FM, which is not a local station. It's not one of my presets. It usually leaves the setting where it was last time I used the car, but when it picks the station for me, it's always 87.7. Am I missing something?

Delayed charging worked with the EVSE provided with the car, so I guess the Leviton 160 is not compatible with the e-Golf delayed charging feature.

I've been unsuccessful in my first two attempts to use the delayed charging feature with my Leviton 160 charge station. Tonight I'm trying with the EVSE provided with the car to see if it's my charge station that is the problem. Based on what I've read on this thread, I'm guessing that it's...

So far I've only experienced temps in the upper 30s and lower 40s, but I've been impressed with how efficient the heat pump is. My Leaf was more efficient over 30, but I didn't have a heat pump so using the heater in those temperatures still dropped my efficiency down to around 3 miles/kWh...

I received the free ChargePoint cards. I haven't activated them because I already have a free account. They'll send free cards to anyone, right? Aren't all ChargePoint accounts free until you plug into a charge station that isn't?

That's good to know. I was underwhelmed by the vehicle health report diagnostic thing in car-net, and I'm not planning on spending the $ for a VCDS cable.

I'm curious to learn more about this as well. The mynissanleaf forum was very informative about that battery, I had a LEAF DD that told me all sorts of information about my battery. Now I feel as if I'm flying blind in my e-Golf.
