For investment? I'd put the $ in a multifamily home near Chapman University in Orange. Student housing is impacted, long term/evergreen renter base.

Yes, I didn't include the cost of the charger in that cost, which was another $1k. If/when you buy one, make sure you get the dryer plug / removeable type not the hardwired one. It's like $50 difference in cost but well worth it. So when we move, the next tenants will have a 240 volt dryer type...

So the same tract can have different classifications for the same plan, depending on setbacks?

We installed an ev charger in our IAC rental. It was less than $1k in our attached garage and IAC's contractor was very accommodating. Maintenance guy did the paint and drywall clean up at no charge. I think the renters affected are those without attached garages, but even then, many apartment...

We've been renting with IAC for over a year now, still haven't gotten renter's insurance. They have asked for proof a couple of times, I just avoid them.

Really good info! Thanks ob1!

It's a joke article. The Onion is fake news. You just have a habit of bringing up you're a cord cutter.

Uhh, separate issues. Eyephone, you remind me of this...http://www.theonion.com/articles/area-man-constantly-mentioning-he-doesnt-own-a-tel,429/

Tesla (and Volt, btw) has temperature monitoring and management while the car is parked whereas Leaf does not. So it's really in extreme situations that this matters. It turns out LA was Nissan's primary testing bogey so more of an issue for more severe climates...

This isn't a concept car, it's just speculation about their strategy with a lot of filler phrases. "What I mean here is..." and "the point of all this is..." and "the bottom line is..." Along with: Sorry to vomit all over this article, but it is simply full of nothing. Tesla will have...

New Leaf rendered... http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/nissan/leaf/88344/nissan-leaf-to-get-sharp-new-look-and-range-boost Damn that looks good! Reminds me of the Veloster mixed with the Focus hatch.

I've been eyeing the Rav4 EV. Toyota is discounting them ridiculously. The lease is about the same as the leaf but with real world range of 120+ miles. Dump in 2-3 years.

Home charging super off peak is like 10 cents per kWh. EVs get 3-4 miles per kWh. So sub 4 cents per mile, conservatively. How is it that it costs you less than that in your gasoline car? Priuses are around 9 cents per mile, and you say you pay less in your full size sedan ??

People wait in long lines to get slightly discounted Costco gas. Meanwhile, most Nissan dealers give away Level 3 quick charging for free!

Given the last exchange, it looks like more of a privacy move than anything else.

http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/1408-report-next-nissan-leaf-to-have-180-mile-range/ Once plug-in hybrids lose sticker status, there is no advantage to buying one. Payback is harder to justify.

The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) landscape is interesting. 2016 model BEVs will have more range for less $. Leafs will get near 180 miles. 2017 Tesla will have a 3 series killer for $35k going 200 miles. Meanwhile, charging infrastructure continues its massive expansion. Green stickers are...

Condo/townhomes + smaller SFRs... that's, what, 50%+ of Irvine's housing stock?

There's no more classic 2 wire AT&T hard wire phone, right? I thought they converged everything under the U-Verse product?
