Nope.

Actually, it is harder and takes more time than you might think. Since none of the buss data is documented, it all has to be reverse engineered... The programming is actually the relatively easy part...

The Leaf does exactly the same thing. When the car is off, it's inverter kicks in every 5 days to top the 12 volt battery... Apparently when the car is off, they have no way to monitor the charge of the 12 volt battery...

I drove one for one of their three day test drives and it is actually surprisingly roomy inside, at least in the front. It also has technology and performance and handling that we can only dream of in the Soul... That said, the range is disappointing, the Rex is a laugh, and it is not cheap...

It is entirely up to the individual dealer. As is whether or not the dealer charges for the use of the QC and if so, how much...

Yes.

I don't believe the Soul has a method to change the rate of L2 charging... It is the J1772 connector that is at issue with the Blink on the older models... In any event, it is a very simple and quick change to make on the Blink, just a few button presses...

Most of us with EV experience use Plugshare since it does a much better job and is more timely.

Considering what a disaster Nissan's program has been, perhaps it is best if they do NOT follow them...

It has nothing to do with the individual salesman as that policy is set by the dealership themselves and that was what I was referring to as building a relationship - with the dealership, not the individual salesman. I would never set foot in a dealership again that practiced such tactics.

Still, it gives you an idea of the dealers mentality and how they treat and respect their customers... If they are going to try and screw you on that, what else might they try to screw you on now and in the future? Trying to make a couple extra bucks rather than building a lasting relationship...

I've never paid over MSRP for ANY vehicle and I certainly wouldn't start with the Soul EV! Dealers who try this should be tared and feathered! And publicized nationally so that everyone will avoid them like the plague! Heck, I was one of the very first in L.A. to get the Leaf and I paid...

MB has had a fix for it for some time now... It is just the typical new EV glitch... Every EV has had at least one at launch...

The charging station updates on the Leaf are over the air (though terribly inaccurate and out of date), but the maps themselves also require a new SD card to update...

It's clearly bogus and I'd just ignore it until you get back...

Basing it on how it is powered (separate or integral) seems odd at best... Clearly the law was written with other considerations and circumstances in mind...

Probably because it uses freon...

I doubt many are going to want to send their VIN but the U.S. VIN IS different from the EU VIN...
