    Interested in a Used 2013 SL in North Augusta, SC; I'm in VA

    It's got to be a salvage title at that price. No way a fully-loaded, clean-title SL would be priced so low. There's no VIN provided so you can't even check!

    Has anyone done San Jose to Napa?

    Awesome! Glad to hear it can be done, and done easily. Might have to make a trip up there sometime soon. Thanks for the update!

    Headlights... LEDs vs. Halogens

    Another happy LED owner. The cool thing about these is that you can adjust the height level on these headlights, so your dark West Virginia locale would be perfect for these. Spend the extra money. You won't regret it.

    A short Public Charging rant

    Precisely. Just treat it as if there's someone who's gonna need to charge while you're not there.

    Mid-2013 firmware update for older Leafs?

    Isn't it funny how the smallest things can just get under your skin?? That message drives me crazy too, lol.

    A short Public Charging rant

    Yeah, I can't stand the station hogs either. My wife gets to drive the Leaf to work since she has the longer commute, and has to deal with occupied free charging stations at her building. Fortunately for her, another co-worker agreed to share the spot with her, as he gets there before my wife...

    Has anyone done San Jose to Napa?

    You are correct, and they're free of charge! 280 E. Grand Ave, South San Francisco. There are two QC stations, plus around four L2 stations. They are located in the back parking lot of the building.

    Has anyone done San Jose to Napa?

    Yeah, you'd really be pushing it by trying to do the round trip. Ours can do about 75 round trip, at the speed you're suggesting. You can always do 55-60 without using climate control to improve your range, but that would be excruciating (I'm a habitual 70-75 mpg highway driver, lol). Where...

    Motorcycle guy @ work looked at me as if I was an alien...

    Same here in Campbell. I see lots of Leafs, Volts, and Teslas every day. I can see how it would be vastly different in middle America.

    Using a dryer circuit for an EVSE

    Thank you! We've owned this house for eight years and have yet to have an electrician inspect our panel and wiring. It is about time we do considering the new purchase and the stress it might place on our electrical system.

    Using a dryer circuit for an EVSE

    OK, here's the panel. What's a half size breaker? One of those single 15 or 20A breakers? I'm sure all of them are taken. Proper grounding? Dunno. Sorry, no electrical experience here. :| All I know is, I'd like a better idea of what to expect before I call an electrician over. No...

    Using a dryer circuit for an EVSE

    Hey all, New Leaf owner here. Looking into getting L2 into my house as well, but here's my situation. Got an older house (early 50's) with the electrical panel completely used. The 30A spot in the panel is currently being used by the A/C, but was for the dryer before switching over to a gas...

    Thanks! Yeah, so far so good. Just drove it tonight. The LED headlights are pretty sweet, especially the height adjustable feature.
