Keep in mind level 2 has less loses than level 1 charging.
We make a lot of solar power each month. Even with gas being cheap we still save more money on EV miles each month the elect savings. I agree EV and PV work so well together.

Looking at all the damage, it seems like that pickup was going pretty fast..
Was the Leaf stopped when hit?

She was stationary , behind a line / row of cars that were stationary . At a traffic lite .
She said she thought he was going pretty fast ( 30 - 35 mph speed limit ) . Also , she thought he acted like he was impaired in some way . God bless Wyr |

Electric bill - Good news but puzzled ?
Got an email with the electric bill for August 2016
657 kWh for $72.97 . ( 34 days ) September 2015 2797 kWh for $ 285.37 . ( 28 days ) This raises way more questions than it answers ? Both months should reflect " normal " summer time home consumption + charging the 2012 Nissan Leaf . Granted , this past month was cooler & should reflect less A/C usage . God bless Wyr |
