Gil, And they say that Toyota's RAV4 EV is the hardest to get. I think I recall seeing here on the forums that someone's favorite search on eBay is Magne Charge, well anyone looking for a working charging station should look at item #: 330085147582. Joshua ____________________...

Howdy, I no longer have an S-10E or an EV1, but I did lease both in the past and used the EV1 Dash program with both. I have had good luck with the obsolete Palm III although I needed to upgrade the OS to 4.1 first - otherwise I would get a fatal error upon launching the appli...

Hi, The palm model is any M500 series. The model I typically provided in the past is the M515 color. The EV1 app is specific to this older palm series, as Peter has modified the RS-232 comm port to operate as a PWM receiver for the class2 data stream. The port reconfiguration...

A normal 120 volt AC outlet is fused (by a circuit breaker) at 15 amps on the "hot" wire. 15 amps times 120 volts is 1800 watts, or 1.8 KW. Combining two 120 volt outlets that are on opposite phases would give you 15 amps at 240 volts. 15 times 240 is 3600 watts, or 3.6 KW. Wh...
