I wish I'd gotten a picture of when it was really pumpin'. When charging starts at low SOC (~20%) that little A meter on the right is pegged to...
Just to confuse things more... there will be no L3 port on the Leaf. Or the iMiEV. This port will be called DC Fast Charge. The L1 and L2 are AC...
My buddy Brad blogs about the site here: Vacaville, Calif. Gets First Public Electric Car Rapid Charger in U.S. | Hybrid Cars
Every charger on site, and every bit of lighting and irrigation is fed with AC power. The PV system is grid-tied, as are the chargers. It would...
Yup... if you're going to shove 50 kW into the batteries, you need some big contacts! Yup. Many entities involved (utility, charger mfg, city,...

Awww. Poor organisms. Save the Microbes! Spill more oil!
IN the US the Handicap parking law is enforced no matter where it is. But back to hybrid parking... we have many of those here in CA. I have one...
Alkaline battery makers can claim what they like... and of course we ARE dealing with batteries stored in sun-baked cars... Alkalines leak and...
