Everyone wants everything on the smartphone. Whats wrong with an EVSE that just works? I just replaced my 1976 furnace. The new one has a smartphone ap that lets me control the settings. Big deal, If I am home I can walk up to it and if I am not home the default setting is fine.

The Chinese EVSE does not include GFCI. Nick Sayers suggestion of the OpenEVSE project is right on. My OpenEVSE 40A charger works fine at 30A with my eGolf. I build OpenEVSE units as a hobby and they have evolved into a fully complaint unit. Adding GFCI and in particular Nick's EVSE testing...

When I worked at the Long Beach Radio Shop it was 19.6 miles from my house. Since I worked a 9-80 schedule the traffic was light both ways. I never used the car pool lanes even though I had stickers on my Leaf. In normal hours I could see access to the car pool lanes would be a help. When I...

When you are retied the miles do not add up. The only time I ever used the stickers on my Mercedes B was to go around the on ramp line. On the other hand the navigation on my eGolf used the slow 5 freeway. The stickers would certainly have helped.

I put mine on magnetic sign backing so they are normally in the glove compartment. They look bad on a gray car. I usually have no need for them.

That is not my photo. I have a uber gray car with drive assist. The interior is black. I basically like the car but it is almost as bad as black or dark blue to keep clean. My last 2 cars were white so it was time for a change. No wash this week though.

I was getting the same error message on my new eGolf. I figured the software glitched since it was a new car. I disconnected the 12V battery. That fixed the problem and after driving around the block per the manual the error messages went away.

I just received mine and they fit perfectly once you cut the tab off each mat that's used to allow for a plastic binder to keep them together in shipping. EDIT: add a pic [/quote well I followed your link and the black rubber mats fit fine. They came from a VW dealer and they fit fine after...

I have a 50A line dedicated to my EVSE. I only have a 40A EVSE because my totaled Mercedes B class EV charged at 40A. My eGplf charges at 30A so 10A is ignored. The car's charger requests 30A and it ignores the extra 10A. A 40A circuit (32A max) would charge the eGolf fine. You could also go...

Some of his postings are quite knowledgeable but he truly comes across as a dick. I truly hope he is better in person.

My 2016 SEL has blue stitching on both and it is not listed on the sticker as an option. I can not speak for other years.

By the way, I do not get the screens shown on my 2016. I do notice there is check marks on what is displayed on the center dash. I left them at the enabled defaults.

I guess you always walked to school. Both directions down hill.

The Maximum charge level is where I set the 80%. It seems to only work when the departure time is set. Then it charges to 80% and stops. It then calculates the time needed for 100% at departure time. The whole manual is very poor. I would have never figured out the trip display if not for this...

My eGolf likes to charge to 100% I found a way to only charge to 80%. This only works if you have no tiers like I do in Anaheim. The car charger is pretty smart. If you set the charging to 80% with a early departure time just unplug it when the 80% is complete. The car charges to the set point...

The second day of ownership I got a lock failure. The remote buttons still worked though. I figured a new car should not have a failure and that it must be a firmware glitch. I removed the negative 12V battery terminal to reset the computer. That fixed it and it is still working fine. As per...

Here is the eBay link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201685655029?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Garygid gave me a link to the meter at less than $10 plus shipping. I ordered two just to have on hand and the total was nineteen plus change. How do they do it? This is a decent accurate meter.

I know about the horrible depreciation. I tried to lease a last of RAV4 EV but the used car manager refused to take my Leaf. He said it would not sell and it would end up at auction. I think he was right. My 2012 sat at the Costa Mesa dealer for a year before disappearing. It likely went to...

Here is a link to an OpenEVSE I have listed for sale. It uses the mentioned multimeter so if you go to the link you can see it in action. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1899
