    Miles remaining meter running backwards?

    This is the second time I've seen this with my 2012 RavEV. Where, the mileage meter resets to LO (full bars though) even though it is 80% charged, and as I drive around, it slowly increments UP until it reaches the normal reading of how many miles remain. Has anyone else experienced this? My...

    Charger installation process

    I'm still working on it. Leviton is SLOW to respond to my request for a better explanation of their pricing for the non-standard installation. In the meanwhile, I am having an electrician come over to give me a quote on the work. If we are happy with the pricing then we will most likely just...

    Charger installation process

    Ok, I've gotten a quote from Leviton for the 40a charger. Unfortunately, my installation is considered "non-standard" because it involves a run from my outside meter to the garage which is over the "standard" install of 100ft (in my case, 120ft). Because of this, the price jumps up from the...

    Charger installation process

    Damchi, thanks for sharing your exprience with LADWP. It sounds like we are in similar situations. What did you eventually do? Did you forgo the rebate? I am hoping that wiring from the dedicated TOU meter on the outside of the house into the garage is not a nightmare. Tony, I was wondering...

    Charger installation process

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Tony, when I said "faster", I meant that I wanted a 40a charger over the 32a leviton that was mentioned earlier in the thread. I agree that the clipper creek sounds like it can be installed relatively easily by any Electrician. The other component to my...

    Charger installation process

    Hm. I'm confronted with too many options now! I think I really want the faster charge, so I may stick with the Leviton 40a. However, the Clipper Creek does sound like better hardware. It looks like the CS-50 is a unit that is free-standing? Is there a wall installation option? I'm trying to...

    Charger installation process

    I've included a link to photos of my panels below I have the main box on the outside of the house which is not near the garage where we will have the charger installed. However, we do have a sub panel in the garage but it doesn't appear to have any open spots. That was my concern with needing...

    Charger installation process

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I am not very savvy when it comes to electrical anything so I prefer to go through the leviton installers. HD172, can you tell me how long it took from your first visit from leviton to completion? Thanks!

    Charger installation process

    Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum and am so excited to see fellow Rav4 EVers here. I just purchased my car in Shoreline Blue a couple of days ago. I am excited but don't have a charger installed at home yet. I think I am going to get the Leviton 40a charger and am just getting started...
