Most of my quick charges are under 80%. I think the LEAF sitting in the heat of The Dalles during the work week cooked the battery, even though it cools down in Hood River at nights. I have about 85,000 miles on the car. I have 2000' of elevation gain, Columbia gorge headwinds, drive it 55-70...

Just about ready to lose bar #4. Hopefully only 18 more months until my Tesla model 3 arrives. I'll be close to a 30 mile range Leaf by then.

I reserved a model 3 on Friday when it got to 198,000 orders as my original plan was to take delivery in 2020, after 9-10 years of my '11Leaf. I don't know if my model three will arrive before 2020, but I figured if I waited longer to reserve who knows how long it would take to get. They are now...

This looks like a great ride to replace my Leaf with someday.

My dealer charged me $40 to do the three year battery check.

It has happened to me also. It just means your at recommended psi for the tire. I keep going and run mine at 40-44 psi. I am using Michelin MXV4 tires.

I also replaced my Ecopias with the MXV4's and love the handling aspects but they aren't as efficient. My third pair of tires are waiting in the garage. I bought the Michelin Energy Savers that are used on newer Leaf models. They don't make the All Season version for 16" wheels, so I bought...

I stick a note on my dash that reads, "A/C is on for the dogs" & I leave my phone number on the note. I have also left the locked car on with the electronic parking brake engaged.

Mine also failed and I took it in to have Nissan replace it. I think it cost $200-300.

I have had them on my car for 40 months and 60,000 miles. I like them because they seem to keep the gravel and rocks contained and not hitting the car. They put gravel down here in Oregon and don't use salt on the snow/ice, so I always prefer having splash guards on all of my cars. The only...

Recmob, I purchased my loaded 2011 SL LEAF for 24k after all rebates. I save $3000 a year in gas. I currently have $10k saved in fuel costs minus $6k for battery #2 that will be installed at year 5. At ten years of ownership, I'll have $24k saved from fuel savings. I'll still have an...

I use one of three different AV quick chargers almost on a daily basis. Sometimes I have to call them to reset a QC because it won't start, but I can always get them on the phone within a few minutes. Sorry that the OP had such a bad experience but that is not the norm for AV response. Too...

Years ago, we did a MNL members did a group buy of Wet Okole's neoprene waterproof auto seat covers. They are designed for those with an active life style. These waterproof auto seat covers come in a variety of styles and colors. I got mine in light grey, dark grey, and blue, to match the...

This is why I prefer Aerovirnment. $20 a month for unlimited L2 & QCs.
