Since Elon's primary objective is to proliferate EV adoption, may be GM can strike a deal to access the Supercharging station ?? May be have Telsa users having the priority to charge. After all, these stations are meant for long distance travel. Or even charge non-Telsa user a nominal fee...

So date of reservation counts as date of "purchase" ? also, Sandange, your location is listed as Quebec, does Canada have the same incentive ?

So how does it work ? do we have to drive until the turtle shows up then charge to max capacity ? or the system has already been monitoring the capacity ?

The access to Tesla Super Charging station network is a total tipping point. AWD is nice, but probably will be an option. But what's this about the fed tax credit being limited to 200,000 vehicles per auto maker ? to wait 2 years for delivery, I may have to get a Zero motorcycle in the mean time.

iwatson - up to what speed did you feel safe towing ? can you maintain highway speed ? though your motorhome is significantly heavier and also casting a decent aero shadow. Thanks

there is a CHAdeMo to Tesla adaptor, expensive though $450: http://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/model-s-charging-adapters/products/chademo-adapter

have you considered the 2016 Chevy Volt ? more car than an i3 i think, and cheaper. It's also as efficient as the iMiev, surprisingly. How much extra power do you get from your solar PV ? if you are in CA, there is the annual true up when the accumulation is reset. Since we heat (via heat...

I have a couple of bicycle hooks mounted from the garage ceiling near each vehicle charge port. It's pretty easy to coil up the cord to hang up. I want to make it easier for my wife to charge, so I tend to leave the L2 cord hung up near her charge port. I also hung up the iMiev L1 stock...

so awesome ! what happens when your other two i hatched ?

Thanks PV1, I learned something new about the J1772. Indeed I am planning to take long trips with the Bolt or T3. I believe the Bolt will have QCDC, though there are fewer stations. I finally test drove an S, what a fine automobile. There is rumor of a P100D S. The AWD is a really nice...

I was considering getting the EVSEUpgrade, but in the end I just purchased the lowest price L2 ESVE from HomeDepot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-EV-Charger-Indoor-Outdoor-Level-2-DuraStation-Wall-Mount-with-18-ft-Cord-EVDSWGH-CP01/205808537 It's listing $399 but I think I bought it on sale. I...

just curious to the reasons you wouldn't consider the Chevy Bolt ? beside being slightly more expensive (US$ 2500)

I just have to chime in, my i is leaning toward higher cost than my other junkies; but hopefully it's just a brief spell of bad luck. 1. I had an unexpected side wall rip of the right front tire when i drove over a poorly cut-off parking post. 2. My deer strike may require an arm...

thought i post some updates & responses. I don't have full coverage so no insurance coverage for the vehicle. I called the nearest Mitsu dealer (Capitol Mitsu), but they said that they just moved and don't have the service facility set up until March. I thought that was kind of strange. So I...

Given my 50 miles round-trip, no convenient work charge, and the 2200-ft end of day elevation climb, the i is just working with no margin for mid-day errand, and definitely not workable in the winter. It is still an awesome vehicle to run down the hill for local errands to the market, yoga...

is your pack fully charged ? my commute also starts on a hill, regen really diminishes around 96% state of charge.

it's $26+shipping on Amazon, I think it's the same one: http://www.amazon.com/Cozy-Products-FW-Warmer-Warming/dp/B000079896/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454042726&sr=8-1&keywords=foot+warmer+heating+mat

I would err on the safe side and go 55mph, in case a charger is non-operational. Unless you can confirm the stations being operational before leaving. It's only 1 hour difference. And bring an extension cord. What about the weather ?

You are effectively using the i traction pack as your backup and solar storage, albeit in a cache mode with a lower current capacity. The i 12v can feed your external backup pack, and when the sun is shining and your external pack is full, you can charge the i traction pack via L1. In my case...

did you also get the RBS/car!/ASC warnings ? the angular offset is actually quite minimal. With all this rain, there has been quite a few rather deep potholes around here. And yes, a visit to the dealer is in the plan, would the UIM warranty cover running a deer ?
