I think I'm going to leave at 5 anyway but I really don't want to stop! It's only a 2 hour drive (or maybe 3 driving slow) but adding 2-3 more hours really kills the day. I really think I have a good chance with what I've been learning recently and the challenge is really fun. I don't know...

Getting to the shore in one shot and jumping in the water rather than stuck in Glassboro on hot pavement for several hours in the middle of a beautiful summer day.

Thanks Joe. I've considered other gadgets but I've kept coming back to keeping it simple and using just the phone, and even on that as little apps as possible. Less updating, charging, and fiddling and all that.

Aerowhatt, Thanks so much for the awesome detailed answers! I drove to work this morning using D and N and sometimes B....and I already found myself practicing some of the things you described, like on a very slight downhill I was bumping between D and N and cycling 5mph and I felt like it was...

I hyperspaced to work yesterday and back home. Going home seemed a bit brutal with 85F and lots of stop and go traffic and 60 minutes drive. Which is only about 10-15 more than the highway but it was way worse. The road, US 1, has too many lights. I used to work in Bala Cynwyd and it was 39...

Cool! I've often thought that N was a good option for downhill. Doesn't make sense to me to brake even if recharging. Can you tell us more about your style? You say accellerate briskly, so where is your needle during that? In what circumstances do you switch to N? Like how long would...

Yes I think that's why they call it Eco mode. In one of the i-Miev videos I recently watched on Youtube, someone describing the different gears mentions that Eco mode is the most economical. My take on that is because of exactly what you are saying, for most people, B mode may cause them to...

Thanks - RVParky is cool. Yes I can plug in if I can get close to the outlet. I'm considering a 14-50 adapter so I can use the extension cord too. I'm going to check out this place on my way....maybe this will be my next destination. Drive there, plug in, take a hike or boat out, come...

I don't know what my RR was when I started. I didn't record it because I didn't think it really mattered since it is based upon past driving. I have the dunlops so would they be OK to go to 56psi? Hills have an effect if you press the pedal more to get up them faster because cars are behind...

5 free chargers and free 2 hour parking 27 miles from my house not far out of the way. Maybe I'll do that my first time going there and see how I do.... 10 Mick Dr, Glassboro, NJ 08028 on plugshare.

Good information, thank you gentlemen. I have always been they type to do more doing then studying. Although I am a researcher also. So anyway, it was a nice day for a drive so....I had the car at 14 bars and I plugged her in. When full, I left immediately to follow Stan's advice on the...

Just watched Stan's video again. He did the trip again at 45mph and same results. And I have better batteries right? In his checklist at the end he says something about a warm battery. Does that mean you have to finish charging right before you leave?

I thought Nissan dealers were not happy with other brands charging these days. I did check out Plugshare and didn't find anything too convenient to stop for. Turnersville Nissan is quite a bit out of the way since I was going to take the more southern route to stay away from Philly, coming...

Thanks Don - yea that's an easy way to talk about it, and a good comparison. About 2.5 cents per mile compared to 10-20 cents for a gas guzzler depending on size. Or you could say 25% of the cost of a standard small gas sedan...for fuel. Then there are the maintenance savings also.

PECO (Philadelphia Electric Company) distribution charge is 0.06359/kWh plus some other fees taxes and other ways of taking money

Actually I thought the shore was way out of reach but I just looked again and it is within range. Now I'm going to have to try to get to my friend's beach house and back. 88.5 miles...

I peeled the label off the bottom of the unit and there were no screws. I have the newer model.

I just called The Energy Coop and got onto an ECO national plan (all wind) fixed rate of 0.1049 for 12 months. Pennsylvania ECO (wind) fixed for 12 months was 0.1159.

Thnk you. You both gave me some great information. I've been signed up with "The Energy Coop" in Philadelphia for years now and only getting wind electric. I have not checked the prices. My bill says PECO (Philadelphia Electric Company) distribution charge is 0.06359/kWh and The energy coop...
