So, with the cold having set in, I set go times with a cabin temp of 85. Admittedly, I've actually not really got into the car at my set go time on any day until this morning, but a few times were shortly after (maybe 5 minutes or so). Go time was 6:45, I got in at 6:45. When I came into the...

Nice little blurb of an article: http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/12/tech/solar-road/index.html?sr=fb111314solarroad830aStoryGalTwoPhotos#

I'm curious about the best way to heat the interior (me). I know from the very few times that I've run the heater that range takes a serious hit. My question is, would it make sense to run a small in-car heater off of the power point? My understanding is that the accessories, including the power...

So we all drive a Ford. But there are a lot more Nissan Leafs on the road. And when it comes to plugging in, I seem to find a fair number of Nissan dealerships in the PlugShare app. So the question is, do any of you charge at a Nissan dealership? If so is it sort of weird to do? Finally, is it...

I assume I saw the idea here somewhere, but I've always loved the idea of throwing a fake extension cord end under the car where the tailpipe would normally be for ICEs. My wife was mowing on Saturday and had a wee incident navigating the extension cord for the electric mower. Thankfully she...

Had a situation this morning that required me to move my charging FFE. I was at the full length of the EVSE already. Anticipating charging issues, I brought along my 100' 12ga extension cord that I use for my electric mower. So I'm having to use that right now. My question is, what's the ideal...

I was looking through the settings in the car a few days ago, and happened on one that was for text messages. It gave a few different sound options. My question to the group is: Has anyone had the car play the incoming text chime? I never have. Until I saw the setting, I didn't know it should...

This has happened a few times now. I'm in Texas. It's July. Hot is an understatement. But I've turned on the car and the ac is set to *anything* and the car is blowing heated air at the highest level. I know it's heated because even the outside air wasn't as warm as what was blowing. Basically...

Trying to get an FFE right now. Curious: is the charge cable bag anything special? I mean, $60 is kinda pricy if it's just a plain bag. I can get a pretty rugged bag of similar size at Home Depot for $20. Any reason to get Ford's?
