    best lease good till 1/31/13

    I believe you are correct. At least that is how it was explained on my lease. either that or they ripped me off.

    Brake Grab

    Without knowing how severe it is it is hard to judge. But the brakes do feel different with the regen effect, the transition from regen to normal braking. Every once in a awhile I do feel a little "grab" on initial braking, but I have just chalked it up to a characteristic of the regen system.

    Coilovers for Focus EV

    I would really like to lower mine for appearance... but I also wonder if it would improve drag coefficient at freeway speeds. Seems like it would. That would make it worth it to try and figure it out. The car is good looking and the rims are already nice. improving the "stance" would be the...

    SoCal Range Estimates

    That's odd. Using TOU-EV-1, figuring 60 miles a day, roughly 20kWh, times 22 days a month at .12 a kWh I get your monthly "fuel" cost totaling $52.80/mo. I can't see how that can possibly be more than a gasoline vehicle driven the same miles... or even a NGV vehicle like the Civic I just traded...

    Stock Sony Amplifier / Subwoofer?

    OK I guess I have to amend that. All the low end I thought was sub is coming from the front doors. There is no low frequency coming from the rear or trunk area. Maybe they have a midbass in the front doors or something? It is reproducing enough low end to rattle the plastic. No luck in finding...

    SoCal Range Estimates

    Are you an SCE customer? If so the solution is to change your rate plan to one of the two they have for EV's. I am going with a second meter (just for the EV) that allows me .12/kWh between midnight and 6:00 AM. They will even provide you with a rate analysis based on your energy usage and miles...

    Stock Sony Amplifier / Subwoofer?

    I think there is a sub somewhere... just from listening to it. I would really like to replace it too cause it sounds pretty cheap.

    SoCal Range Estimates

    I don't think so. But I could be wrong. However when you are signed up to the sync thing your kWh used is reported after each trip. For example I can see that I used 8 kWh to get from the house to work (downhill leg) and 12kWh to get home (uphill leg). This is already very encouraging for me...

    New driver to the EV community.. hello

    OK, Taking numbers directly off my contract. The license Registration fees are $362.00. I don't know how to figure out whether that is based on MSRP or reduced price. The Base cap cost is $40,938 and the adjusted cap cost is $28,412 I do believe that Ford takes the Federal Credit but that...

    SoCal Range Estimates

    I don't have the data you need yet, however I should have data that will prove pretty valuable to you as time goes on. I am in California and my commute is 38.6 miles. I go over both the Santa Clarita pass and the Sepulveda Pass on my way. Even with the additional miles AND the additional hills...

    New driver to the EV community.. hello

    Well somehow it feels wrong to give the EXACT details but I will share enough to get the gist... I basically stopped by the other day and was shown a normal "fair" lease deal.. pretty much what you would expect for a $30,000 car... So i walked out. But I then directed Galpin to this offer...

    New driver to the EV community.. hello

    I have been making my 38.6 mile (each way) commute in my Honda Civic CNG until last week when I blew up the motor. it had 160,000 miles on it and it saved me a huge amount of money and time (HOV lane access) during its life. I was literally minutes away from buying a 2012 CNG Civic when I got a...
