Just updating in case anyone had the same question. I use my 2015 Leaf as my primary dog vehicle. He is about 70 pounds and fits no problem in the trunk area. Just have to help him in because 1 he is old and 2 the trunk is deep. He likes it back there and it seems safe for human occupants...

Just to follow up on my earlier post, my EZ Card was activated within about 5 days after my purchase. My car was so new that it apparently hadn't gotten added to the EZ Charge database. My dealer's service department (Car Pros in Burien) contacted eVgo and shortly after eVgo contacted me and...

It has not been an easy experience for me either. Bought my 2015 SL on July 18 and I've been trying unsuccessfully to get Carwings and the EZ-Charge card activated since. The activation website for the EZ-charge card tells me that the vin number I am entering is invalid (it is not) and tells...

Not a huge house (1930 sq ft) and we have ample capacity. We have gas heat, so our biggest power draws are water, stove, A/C and oven. We may just convert the water to gas and use that breaker for the EV charging. The power company will kick in $950 towards the conversion cost.

Since the SL with premium is $4k+ more than the SV with w/o charge package, could you get the same trade value and get an SV with no options (same model you have now) for only $1k net and a new warranty and battery? That would would be a sweet deal. Note that if you are financing your car now...

Thanks Wayne! I think you are right. I seem to have so tandem where they are not supposed to be. The following article seems to confirm your conclusion. http://www.ashireporter.org/HomeInspection/Articles/Inspecting-Tandem-Circuit-Breakers/2047 Guess I have no excuse not to upgrade panel...

I added links to the pictures. I'll probably just go ahead and get estimates. Just don't want to waste their time coming out if the answer is obvious.

I am in the budgeting stage for purchasing a Leaf. I'm trying to figure out whether my old Murray panel is really full so that I'll have to add a subpanel. I've searched the forums and internet, but I think I'm just not getting it. I currently charge my C-Max Energi using a dedicated 120 volt...

In Seattle, the rebate is the same for the 15, but the interest gets slightly higher past 36 months. I think Edmunds is where I saw this, and confirmed with a dealer on the rebate portion. Making the rush to get deals on the dwindling number of available 14 models less of a rush. Also...

"addition of Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant and Voice Destination Entry for SV and SL grades" Is this really new? I thought a dealer just told me I could enter destinations by voice in the 2014? Is this a slight change in software in 15 that won't get updated to the older models? We...

Our dog would actually have to sit in the trunk/hatch area behind the bench seats. The bench seats would be occupied by our two kids. My parents have an Irish Wolfhound that travels well in back seats too. Great breed.

We have a C-Max energi and love using EV. I have a 50 mile round trip commute (40 on freeway) without charging at work, so when I drive the C-Max, I'm using about .5 to .6 gallons of gas. My wife's commute is under 20 miles, which she can do on all electricity. Our other car is a Mazda5...
