    What Level 2 Charger to Purchase?

    clipper creek HCS-40. IMO I think the price might not matter since you can get a tax credit next year for what you paid for the EVSE. You also get a 30% tax credit on the installation fee.

The deposit is refunded at the end of the lease. It...

    Has anyone got a fault-free i3?

    I have only had the car for a week but from what I gather there are a few things which I think decrease your range: 1. AC on always - significant impact 2. Hot weather - batteries are kept at operating temperature even when the car is parked and this drains them slowly. Do you park in the shade...
