    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Not sure about a Nissan but my VW has a minimum charge rate of 5A @230V (i.e. 1.15kW). To get that much at better than the E7 rate, I'd need to have a surplus of over 1 kW (background 0.5kW free and another 1.15kW) hence I'm not expecting to do any daytime charging for another month or so.
