Only $10 or so for LeafSpy Pro and then you can see and clear all codes. If you need the service manual then send me a msg off list. Cor. On Sun, Sep 22, 2019, 11:02 AM Willie via EV wrote: > > > On 9/22/19 10:25 AM, Steve Clunn via EV wrote: > > Somebody in my area has a 2012 leaf with about

Re: [EVDL] Replacing brake fluid on EVs a stealership scam

Mark is no stranger to stretching the truth, so I think that he means that he plugs his phone into the charger outlet in his car, so technically he can claim that his phone is (partially?) powered by fool cell which recharges his car battery. Unless he has a home setup where he transports (or

Re: [EVDL] 2014 Chevy Volt V2H Power Draw Limits?

Len, The Lead acid battery is charged using the DC-DC converter from the main traction pack, so it is the same (you can actually disconnect the 12V battery as soon as you have started the car and don’t do anything to cause a load dump or turn the car off). Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From:

That is why the “cigarette lighter plug” is typically protected by a 10, 15 or 20 Amp fuse. Check your car manual. Cor. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Peri Hartman via EV Sent: Friday, September 13, 2019 12:15 PM To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List Cc: Peri Hartman Subject: Re: [EVDL]

Re: [EVDL] V2G - any specs for home power generation during outages?

Dan, One word – no. Typically V2G or V2H is acting exacly like a Solar inverter, meaning that it can deliver power when there is already AC power to begin with. The reason is that it is designed for load support (brownout protection) for short periods of time where the grid gets overloaded.

Re: [EVDL] 199x production: Ford Ranger EV

My daily driver is a "factory" converted US Electricar, built in 1994 from an S10 longbed glider. Over 100 were built and several still on the road. I also have a 2002 Rav4 EV with tired NiMH pack, so am working with local EV'ers to find a way to convert to Lithium. Problem is the odd shaped pack

Re: [EVDL] Leaf Obd2 reader

For the Leaf Spy, you *must* use an OBD2 adapter that still has 2 CAN buses implemented, because the Leaf EV bus is the second CAN bus on the OBD2 port and if the OBD2 adapter is one of the cost optimized versions, it will not be able to connect to the battery management system via the second

Agree with most here: why risk coop money when evse companies are willing to install for free and may even share some of the profit after recouping their cost? We are still in land grab time over evse installs, so use it for non core business at the coop and reap the benefit of extra customers

(Vehicle-to-home) I thought grid tied inverters shutdown the solar panels when no grid power is detected. On Wednesday, August 14, 2019, 12:50:01 AM CDT, Cor van de Water via EV wrote: All grid tie central inverters (so, not the micro inverters) take input voltage above 400V so they can
