I am just so sad. I had one of the first 20 in the US. Six years in a Leaf and really I do so appreciate what it took to get to this point. And absolutely agree with you- very minor changes and I would have been right back into the car again. For me, it is hard to see all of the innovation...

Yeah my lease on my second leaf is up on 11/14/16. I was not offered any incentives, buyouts, etc, just incentives on a new Leaf, which honestly given it is really just the same car, I think means I am going to break from Nissan as my next step unfortunately. I think they did a great job with...

The entire process for my second leaf took nearly SIX months. Bought the car in November and did not get the stickers until April. Infuriating. This should be streamlined so that cars that meet requirements and are eligible have paperwork filed simultaneously with plate acquisition. Is just...

According to the dealer, the heat damaged wiring all the way back to the battery. $400 was car rental. And of course now that I have paid all communication has gone dark. Still haven't even replaced the dang bad cable on the blink unit so am stuck with L1 charging. Meaning I am driving my...

Just an update - my out of pocket cost to repair this was in excess of $2500. Hopefully Blink will reimburse. I agree that if you have a 6.6 capable car that until this is all worked out you should consider forcing a charge at a lower rate. Worse, however, was the unfortunate treatment from...

I typically see right about 25 min from either the fast Blink charger or the EVGo chargers in the area. Like others have said - it really depends on how they set up the unit.

Such an absolute bummer. I have Geico and they have been great so am sorry to hear that you are having issues with them.

I wish I had been paying better attention here lately because yes my J1772 Blink connector melted and damaged my Leaf. Has been at the Dealer over 3 weeks now. Even though Blink admitted it is their issue and 2 people, including their CTO, have admitted this is something that is due to the bad...

Lost mine at 30 months, 32,500 miles. Traded in at 36 months for new leaf. Usually charged mine to 100% every day because I needed it.

I also experienced this 2 different times within a week. In my instance, I was driving on the highway with my foot on the accelerator. I did not brake at any time, but I do believe I reduced or alleviated the pressure on the accelerator as a means of coasting or slowing the vehicle in both...

Sorry didn't see the question until now - just was using a regular Kill a Watt meter. Not as precise as some other tools, which is why I left it plugged in for awhile and watched the draw over at least 15 minutes for both chargers. Was very visible difference even with this consumer tool.

Replaced with a new cord this am and no surprise it works at 11.4-11.6. So confirmed, bad EVSE. Carwings reading a more reasonable time to charge today and feeling much better this morning. Nothing like a meter to confirm sneaking suspicions- completely worth the investment on Amazon.

Agree with carrying the tester. Just feels better to see the good outlet indicator before plugging in. FYI - I just returned a defective 110 charging cord this am. So that happens too. Having the inexpensive Kill-A-Watt meter is also helpful.

Well I traded my 2011 for the 2013SL. I didn't get nearly the lease deal that others got, but I am exceptionally happy. It has all of the bells and whistles, and just makes me smile to drive it. My other one had lost enough capacity to start making my daily commute stressful. At 47 miles...

Congrats on that- solar was the best decision I made in my home. Truly a great idea and more than returned its investment.
