    Busting 2 myths about saving money when home charging in Hawaii

    I have completed my six month trial of the Interim Residential TOU rates. For the last six months I have saved between $50-$70 each month using around 1,200 KwH/month. This plan is definitely a keeper!

    Basic Autopilot at $2K till June 30

    I added Autopilot in 3/2019 after the price dropped from $4k to $2k. It was worth it when I drove my M3 MR from the east coast to California to ship it here. :)

    New Chademo Adapter fails to lock

    Hello all, I just got a new Chademo adapter from Tesla to replace one I rented from QC Charge. The new one will not lock onto the Chademo plug (Efacec station with a Yazaki CHV-04 connector). I checked for debris or obstructions and none are there. I read that there is a electromagnetic lock...
