Right. That's why I was mentioning solder. I could have been more careful with my wording, but the point was to provide a better solder connection. << Annoyed by leaf blowers ? https://quietcleanseattle.org/ >> -- Original Message -- From: "Jim Walls via EV" To: ev@lists.evdl.org Cc:

I live in South Florida, there are Teslas and a few Leaf's. My Nissan dealer shares a technician with 3 other dealerships who is certified to work on the electric parts of the Leaf. That technician is also certified for the GT cars so he has a lot of training and there is a lot of demand. I h

GM has a fantastic EV engineering department, hampered by probably the WORST EV sales team. If they want to make a difference they need to train their DEALERS. It's not the customers that are the problem. Many of the local GM dealers refuse to carry EVs and actively try to talk you out of pur
