I have lots of questions after the 2018 LEAF reveal that didn't give many details. so 40 kWh battery is availble 1st. But they didn't give a date for the 60 kWh battery. They didn't say if the warranty was improved or if they added Thermal Control liquid or air or none? With their E Pedal...

so 40 kWh battery is availble 1st. But they didn't give a date for the 60 kWh battery. They didn't say if the warranty was improved or if they added Thermal Control liquid or air or none? With their E Pedal did they increase the REGEN? Is it adjustable? How fast can the DC Fast Charging go...

208 v is always slower than 240 vac. This is normal I find many of the Blink public charging units all are set to the same low amps of 24. So on a 208 circuit it's very slow and we pay by the half minute in Arizona. Other states allow paying by kWh so you get the better value. . It doesn't seem...

Most people can't measure the difference in efficiency between any of the levels. It is a FACT that L1 takes longer but if your in a hurry you may know of a local L2 or L3 at a dealer that is even free. If you pay demand charges a fast L2 can cost more on your electric bill. Always try to...

As many have said if it meets your needs you are doing great to buy a used LEAF and you even get FREE charging at work. That's good for the US and you. Less pollution, no crazy jumping gas prices. you don't help Fracking or ISIS and No pollution (pricesless) . Please forget the ROI and money...

I agree, It sounds like the starter 12 volt battery is low. Off that it would happen while charging since it should power the 12 v on a DC-DC unit while charging and or running. Maybe take it to the dealer since it should be covered on the warranty and you could have a bad DC-DC converter. You...

Smart-ED already does this. I don't think Nissan has ever offered it yet. I can see some people would like it sort of an insurance on the battery. Others will save on their own and be able to buy one for less from Nissan. I just hope the new 30 kW and or 200+ range battery will fit in the same...

Yes the loose NUT behind the wheel makes a big difference.

Yes it's is really handy, I also use SCAN GAUGE

Arizona has a lot of public changing locations. There are over 550 shown on Plugshare.com We were also the home of ECOtality that got things stared. They were bought out by Car Charging who not tried to keep all the Blinks up and running nationwide. We also have Charge Point with most of the...

Now in 2015 there are more L3 charging. Nissan dealers have free chargers at most locations. The Chandler, Gilbert Road Nissan dealer even has CHAdeMO and Combo ports so a BMW i3 could charge or a LEAF and other CHAdeMO port vehicles. We gave Car Charging that took over EcoTality a list of 5...

Hey why doesn't Nissan do something fun to get more attention and sales. A 2 seat Roadster would be lighter, get a lot more range and not cost much since it could be on the same LEAF chassis. They make a gas 370Z so why not make an Electric version 370 E but smaller and lighter. Similar 2...

I think it will come on some new Electric. Being able to seat 6 instead of 5 and sitting near each other (wife) would be a nice option. Maybe I'll have to make my own and get rid of all that center console junk. :idea:

It's a small amount of power b ut they all add up so it's good to unplug when your not using it. A Kill-o-watt meter can measure it and then you can decide if it's good or bad. By the way replacing a light with a good USA made CREE LED light bulb can save a lot more than unplugging. They are...

The new Heat Tolerance (Lizard) battery came out in 2015. Soon in 2016 they will release the 30 kWh battery and in 2017 they will have even more choices and range. That is pretty good progress in just a few years. The prices have also been getting a little lower. Just like cell phomes, more...
