    Highland Park, IL Service Center!

    I saw that white car charging there when I passed by on US41 Wednesday morning.

    Muskegon Area, looking for a charge cable. Forgot mine at home.

    There is a supercharger in St. Joseph? When did that open? I guess I missed that announcement. I am charging at a Chargepoint now.. specifically the one on Henry street. But it will take a while. Thanks for the tip.

    Muskegon Area, looking for a charge cable. Forgot mine at home.

We are planning on heading back to Chicago tomorrow. Personal email is [email protected], and cell number is 312.560.3763...

    Chicago Condo Charging

    There is no general infrastructure per se, but I had a 14-50 outlet run to my parking spot, hooked up to the general building circuit. I have a power meter where I manually read the power consumed on an irregular basis, and then calculate what I think I owe based on past building electric rates...

    Service Center no longer giving loaner cars outside of 50-mile radius?

    The downtown Chicago location on Grand is where I am bringing mine in for annual maintenance tomorrow, and I have been going there on a regular basis. Not sure anything has moved. -tj

    IPass install under nose cone

    I should give that a try. I have mine in the window spot, and it seems to work flawlessly when passing through the open toll lanes, but I have trouble getting it read on the Skyway and in Indiana.

    Wisconsin Dells

    To follow up on this thread, I ended up finding a RV park that was open year round, and had 50 amps available. This was the Castle Rock County Park in Friendship, Adams County (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=43.908189,-89.93891&num=1&t=h&z=17). Lorelai was especially helpful in finding a usable...

    Wisconsin Dells

    I am currently at the dells, staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. When I called them up a while back, it seemed that they had a RV 50 amp connection for me to use by the maintenance shed. Unfortunately, I did not follow up and get a clarification. All they have is the standard 15 amp outlet. Because...

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    I have hear it off and on. No specific conditions.. sometimes it is cold, sometimes it is not. Venting the roof definitely stops the sound, so it is something in that assembly. Venting and closing does not always stop the sound. I had a case where I heard the sound constantly. I then parked...

    Charging around Ames, IA.

    We are planning on a road trip the last week of March, and will be coming south from Minneapolis through Ames. I checked the various EV charger sites and there are no public chargers around there. The hotels (Holiday Inn, etc.) have the standard 5-15 outlets outside that could be used. I am...
