I think others should do a similar video running in the other gears. I don't know what is more efficient but I like D a lot. Pedal feels great and I like the amount of resistance and if necessary just touch the brake a little but mostly look way ahead and don't need to. I drive on the highway...

I just saw this today...has not been posted here for quite some time so I thought I'd wake it up for those who have not seen it. Great job on the video and range ability Stan! Thanks for making it...

(2012) Mitsubishi Motors introducing MiEV Power BOX 1500 Watt Power Feeder for its EVs http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/03/mits-20120309.html Lots of news in 2012 about this thing. $1800.

I get this question all of the time. How much does it cost to charge at home? I know it is based upon the cost of my electric and I'll have to look that up on my bill. How would I calculate a full charge cost? Thanks

I have a 2017 Mitsu EVSE which is a Yazaki model 9482A128. It worked fine for about a year and now about half the time I plug it in I get a ground fault. I've plugged it in several locations other than my house where I know there are good grounds and I get the same behavior. I figured I'd...

cool thanks Don. I thought that, just wanted to confirm since my first instinct was that it was too loose. But I've gotten used to it already and it feels fine now.

Question about the L6-20 connector: When I plug it in and twist, it twists about an eighth of an inch and seems kind of loose to me. I guess I was thinking it would be tighter - requiring more force to twist and would hold tight. I kept trying to force it farther but I guess that's how it...

Another question...what do you use for the wire in your adapters? I guess for the dryer ones you use a dryer plug and wire and cut it.... but what about the 5-15 ones? I guess 12AWG? You might want to add that info into each adapter description.

Thanks Joe! Awesome post and very comprehensive. I like the idea of using a 12AWG extension cord. When I was only charging 120v at home I would throw the stock EVSE in the car and always had an extension cord in the car, maybe 50 foot. And it was probably not 12. Now that I'm charging...

Yes it was a half size double breaker...lowes calls it tandem on their website. And I think it is correct for my panel. Siemens panel. I got the wrong one first and it didn't seat in the panel because it has a stop and is designed for the other type panel. So went back and got this one and...

Thanks Don, I was measuring ground and one hot at a time. Was getting 122. I was afraid to measure the two hots because I didn't know if that would fry the meter. Go ahead and laugh at the inexperienced electrician! When I measured the two hots, I got 245. This was with the wire in the...

Almost there! Please help me understand this last thing. Thanks! https://youtu.be/pZYwCI9vaks https://youtu.be/tGfVJs3Xow8

I too am baffled by the negative reviews. This is the coolest nicest best driving most fun car I've ever driven. And I love the room in the back and so does my dog otto. Plus it has a leather steering wheel and is warm in the morning! I don't know what else I would ever want! I hate extra...

121 Jiggawatts! https://youtu.be/g1hLUgmy8pk https://youtu.be/I5cYgRnfFDA

Yup, doing that today. Went to Lowes and got the double 20A breaker - $35! $20 on Amazon. I may order the Amazon one and take it back to Lowes. Installed it in the panel and hooked up to the A/C wire. And now I have one extra open 20A breaker in there which is nice. Put my stuff in an...

Cool, good to know. I had one from Home Depot go bad in 3 years. I think it was GE. Had a 7 year warranty but it was prorated and you had to buy another one from them and get it installed by them. What a racket. That's when I called the local plumber and got this one. I have lots of...

Me too. I tend to try to keep it safe but don't comply with everything in life. No fun that way.

Those cones are nice! So nice I bet they may not last out on the street. Even tho not many things disappear here ever. I've got a full size one behind the fence. They took down the big tree yesterday because it was dying and that was my blocker for foot traffic so I may take the full size...

Hey Joe, Thanks for all of this. Good things to think about. The ground - I did a bit of research and found that older houses commonly were grounded thru the water pipe. A second ground to a rod was required later. I'm grandfathered in. One post said that the water ground was much more...
