    California Lags in DC Fast-Charging Station Density for Electric Vehicles

    I think we are discussing the West Coast Green Highway project which was started around 2014. California never did much at the time. The installs where AV, CHAdeMO chargers. At the time, CSS cars didn't exist. If you go to Plug Share and filter for Webasto, you will see the the number of the DC...

    California Lags in DC Fast-Charging Station Density for Electric Vehicles

    Almost all of the West Coast installs are CHAdeMO only, so they don't do Bolt owners a bit of good.

    Charge Point Missing in Action

    I guess we will have to agree to disagree. 1. There where many folks still kicking the tires on whether or not to get a PHEV or EV. 2. The are still folks with a PHEV that haven't bought an EVSE. 3. The L2 pubic charging stations here are either Charge Point or Sema. Missed opportunity to get...

    Charge Point Missing in Action

    I have to say I'm disappointed that I didn't see a Charge Point representative at our local National Drive Electric Week show last week in Steilacoom, Wa. While I don't expect them to attend every show, however, when you have over 100 EVs and PHEVs in a show, it would seem they could make an...

    New DC chargers in Tacoma

    The existing EVgo at the Tacoma Mall is listed as 50KW, dual standard. The new ones at the LeMay car museum appear to be EVgo 50KW, dual standard too. The AeroVironment CHAdeMO chargers, part of the original West Coast Green Highway are suppose to be 50KW too. If you know otherwise, then I'll...

    On the state of the affordable long-range electric car

    I looked at the Tesla rollover photos and it does look like the tablet screen is on. That's something positive out of a nasty accident. https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8yy3jk/my_wife_rolled_our_model_3_at_highway_speeds_she/

    On the state of the affordable long-range electric car

    I don't have a crystal ball, but the electronics in the Tesla 3 where compared to military grade product. That leaves me optimistic as far as the reliability. I haven't read anything comparing the Bolt electronics to military grade. It would be interesting to see if the control tablet is...

    On the state of the affordable long-range electric car

    With the Trump tariffs on steel, aluminum, China and possible automobiles, maybe you made a great buy. It will be interesting to see when the lease returns show up in a couple of years if the depreciation is as bad as the other EVs that proceeded it or if the tariffs still are in place. I...

    Second Replacement Battery In Three Months

    This article seems to suggest they are starting a recycling process. So maybe going forward things will change for warranty replacements. https://insideevs.com/nissan-introduces-refabricated-batteries-for-older-leaf-in-japan-from-new-4r-plant/

    EVgo DC chargers were horrible up until the beginning of 2018. They're still not perfect, but improvement is being made.

    2017 IRS Form 8936

    You will just have to be patient. The form doesn't exist yet for 2017 even if you go the IRS web site. My guess is that the IRS has been waiting for the sales reports from the various manufactures.

    Federal EV Tax Credit

    Perhaps almost everybody, but for those who have a 401k with a former employer, you do have an option of doing a Roth conversion in an IRA and increase your taxable income.
