This year's NDEW event in Westchester will be at the Pleasantville Farmer's Market and we are only allowed to have four EVs there to showcase.. We've got two Teslas, a Volt and are looking for a LEAF. Since The other three owners are all male and we're really hoping to have a female LEAFer...

Really nice video! Well put-together and good information. I can't make it down to your event this year since I'll be at a wedding in Pittsburgh at the time, but if you're interested in coming up to our Hudson Valley event in Poughkeepsie we'd love to have you! It's the next Sunday the 18th...

We're having our Drive Electric Week event at the Poughkeepsie Galleria, just like last year. Hope everyone can make it! Sunday September 18th, Noon - 4pm https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=538 PM me with any questions, or better yet join our facebook group for fun discussion...

Hello fellow LEAFers. We're having our second annual drive electric week event on Sunday Sept. 20th from noon to 5pm. There will be dealer reps from Nissan, Tesla, VW and BMW showing off their latest as well as a bunch of owners and enthusiasts. Please sign up at our Drive Electric Week page...

They did a great job on the drain tubes. They go along the top of the door frame inside that plastic that's there. It has a very slight bulge but you'd have to be looking for it to even notice. I believe there are four drain lines in total but I'm not 100% sure about that. Same model as...

Not really much of a difference. I haven't done a scientific study though. I was able to travel to Albany (93 miles one way), charge for three hours, then drive the 93 miles back with the sunroof installed so it's definitely not a huge range killer. I believe I had it on tilt some of the way home.

I can't speak for Lasareth but I got my sunroof done at the same place per his recommendation and it's held up beautifully through two winters so far. I live up here in Poughkeepsie NY and haven't had any problems with snow or ice or rain, though the LEAF sleeps in the garage so I don't ever...

Not sure who put up the ones on the thruway - Based on that newspaper article they should be active by memorial day. If anyone on here takes a trip by those service centers please stop by and comment on Plugshare about construction if possible.

Rain in NY means the squeal is back. I finally got some video (with sound). Anyone else getting this? It's the driver side rear. Next time it's a rainy weekday I'm taking it in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p3WOEzrXGk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If it were me I would get a lease on a Gen2 Volt this summer, then have my pick of 200 mile EVs in a few years. Even if the commute is doable (which I think it is year-round even after a couple years) things come up. Why drive on edge every day when you can drive the Volt, use basically no gas...

With the return of wet, non-freezing weather the squeal is back. It doesn't matter if I have brakes or not. It also seems to go away after I drive it for a little while. Anyone else been seeing this?

Just had this happen to a colleague of mine who has a 2013 as well. Makes me a little nervous about my cable since I got my Leaf around the same time. I always use my 240V EVSE at home but I definitely don't want to get stuck out if I charge at a friend's house... Here's his story: Yesterday I...

FYI, Just had this happen to a colleague of mine here in NY. Same issue as the OP: handle got stuck and car had to be flatbedded to the dealer.

Hmm, it went away with the dry weather.. next time it rains I'll check that out and post here

The past two times it's rained (or even just wet weather in general) I get this high pitched squeal from my 2013 Leaf when I go in reverse. Note that it doesn't happen when I go forward (brakes or not). Is this just rust somewhere and should I bring it in to get it checked out? Do the brakes...
