    I may have made an idiotic assumption regarding 220V wiring.

    I recently moved from Orange County to San Diego and the buyers of my old house didn't want my Leviton 40amp EVSE. When I bought my RAV4, I used the Toyota recommended process, electrician, and charger, and my EVSE was hardwired into my house's electrical system on its own 50amp curcuit. When...

    Leviton Charger appears to have stopped working

    I got a couple of charge failure emails from Entune this afternoon after I plugged my car into charge. I went out to check the car and the charger and found no charging lights lit on the car, and the charger with no lights showing either. I reset the emergency shutoff switch next to the...

    Is there an app for that? (This forum)

    I use the tapatalk app on my mobile devices to access the TeslaMotorsClub forum, which provides a much nicer experience that using that forum (and this one) from a mobile device. However, I can't get that app (or another called ForumRunner) to work with site. Has anyone found one that works...

    Costa Mesa to San Diego road trip today

    I have family in town for the holidays and we had been kicking around ideas for a day trip somewhere, and today decided to head south to San Diego to beat the rain forecasted for Saturday. I'm still kicking around in my local dealership's rental Rav4 EV, but am planning to pick mine back up...

    Cool EV photos in Boston.com's "Big Picture"

    If you haven't checked out "The Big Picture" page published by the Boston Globe, you really should. The most recent collection of photos is of automobiles, and there were three EVs that made the cut. Many of the photos are cool, but photos 33 and 35 feature EVs that are unlike anything we've...

    Siblings

    I decided to go down to Bella Terra in Huntington Beach this afternoon to catch the latest Bond flick and was surprised to see a sibling to my Blizzard White parked in the EV Charging station. I haven't seen another Rav4 EV in the wild yet, so it was pretty cool to just find one. I didn't do a...

    Charging port door stuck closed?

    Had a small issue tonight when I went to plug in my Rav4EV to the charge. I pulled up on the lever to release the charging port door, but the door did not open. Tried repeatedly with no effect. Eventually propped the pull lever up and used a plastic putty knife to provide some external...

    Turning off backup beep, changing door unlock?

    On my 2008 Prius I was able to turn off the annoying backup beep by using a sequence of steps involving the On/Off switch and the Trip Odometer button. Similarly, I was able to change the behavior of the keyless door unlock so that when I put my hand to the door handle, all doors unlocked...
