Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

I have 03 trailblazer that is leaking freon. Seems to be leaking from nut on front metal tube close to radiator. What is that part called?

    The front unit is the condenser. The nut has an o-ring inside. Has the car ever been repaired there with a replacement condenser? Those usually don't leak after the factory puts them together. You have to use a wrench on both sides of the connection to try to tighten if it may have been repair. Most likely needs to be removed and o-ring replaced, lubed, and reconnected to torque. But that needs to be done by someone who can remove the freon catching it, vacuum, and refill.
