I ordered 2 Yokohama avid ascend tires for the leaf.

Also did the first aero mod, removed the front license plate and holder.

My 125 amp outdoor rated QO panel will be in any day now. Right now the EVSE plugs into my dryer that I added a receptacle to back in 2010 so I could plug in my plasma cutter or welder with out pulling out the dryer, the laundry room was tiny in that house.
I will be able to put in my garage side j1722 and add multiple j1722 chargers later on.

Found the limit to charging and driving. I was on tract to put 100 mIles plus on the leaf in one day then when I was charging it for that last little drive I went to check the charge noticed that the battery temperature was at 7 bars and was only half charged. It had only been nearly 100°F all day. By that time it was about 5pm so I unplugged it and left it. Came back about 5 hours later and was still at 7 bars. I didn't even bother to try charging it so I drive my firebird to work.
