Wow....excellent explanation! Thank you guys for taking the time to educate me. I'm very handy, but electricity has never been my strong suit.

Great info guys. I really apprecite it! Also, back to 110v vs 220v, I understand the water hose analogy, and that make perfect sense. What I don't get is why does it take around 18hrs to charge a flat battery at 110v, and only 3.5hrs on 220v? Around 5 times longer for 110v seems odd based on...

I am with SoCal Edison. I didn't switch anything with my plan since buying the car. I did call, and they said the plan I'm on would probably be the most beneficial as long as I keep charge times between 10p-6a which are the off peak rates. The gal I spoke to went on and on about the...

It's pretty bad. The hood is a joke. It must be there to cool the motor, because there is no way when this car was in clay they thought that looked good! Also, the rear spoiler gaps are really out of alignment. Then, look at the lower window trim of this car. Where the front fender portion...

The bright work under the windows is soon to be black as well. Just does go with the look of the car. Also looking to get a color match of the green E for some caliper covers. Installing better door speakers, then I'm going to leave good enough alone. Mods so far: Tint 35% Front, 20% All...

Thanks guys. Kind of what I was thinking. I'm starting to stretch the legs of the FFE a little more as it is becoming one of the the most fun cars I have ever owned. The 110V gets me through the week, but the weekend consumption blows my "Value Charge" out the window since it needs much more...

Admittedly, I am not an electrical engineer. So, I'm wondering.....if charging at 110v takes 10-14 hrs based on my consumption, which often rolls me into higher electric company rate tiers, would it be less expensive to install a 220v charger so that all charging would been taken care of during...

I went 35% on the fronts, and 20% on all back glass.

I am going the way of Plasti Dip for the emblems. I think they look good when blacked out on this color car. I do plan on removing the Road and Leaf portion of the emblem, and plasti dip around the Green E. I think the E will look cool against the black background. Going to try to get it...

Agreed! I don't drive in carpool anyways...too bad the dealer pre-installed, otherwise I wouldn't have them. Heard they're a nightmare to remove, so just gonna live with it.

Just thought I'd share some pics of my new wheels. Going to black out the emblems and call it a day. Just rolled 500 miles on it, and can't figure out why I didn't buy an electric car a lot sooner. Can't wait for more range in the future, hasn't been a problem but I'd love to be able to roll...
