    Do you plan to buy/lease 30kWh MY16 Leaf ?

    Recently extended to July '16. I agree, it could be a bit of a quandary, but there are still a lot of unknowns this far in advance, including when Leaf 2.0 will really be out, what lease options will be available on the 2016 at that point, and whether they will allow 2nd extensions on older...

    Faster L2 charging should be standard

    Unless you want to travel to Oakridge, Klamath Falls, Crater Lake, or anywhere in the vast swath of land east of I-5 and south of Bend. I live in Eugene and I am constantly frustrated by this gaping black hole in the plugshare map. But overall I agree, we have it really, really good here in...

    Do you plan to buy/lease 30kWh MY16 Leaf ?

    Whether or not I lease a new 2016 will depend entirely on the lease terms I can get. My current lease is $130/month which is a screaming deal. If the 2016 doesn't have similarly awesome lease terms, which at this point I'm fairly certain it won't, I doubt I will upgrade; instead I'll just...

    2015 May Plugin Sales Discussion : Leaf 2104 - Total 11540

    Anecdotally, driving around town yesterday for about 1 hour, I saw 5 different Leafs. I've never before seen close to that many in one day (usually 1 or 2 at most.) Not sure what was going on.

    Bike Rack

    It may be something they dropped with the 2013 models, not sure. This video from Nissan shows where the knob is on a 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xnyYGjNIA4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There is definitely no such control at that location in my car.

    Bike Rack

    Alas, there is no headlight aim adjuster on my 2013 SV, at least not that I can find. Too bad, that would have been quite handy!

    Bike Rack

    I have the 2" Torklift on my 2013 Leaf and have had no problems with it. Installation was easy even for a relative non-mechanic such as myself (I did not have any trouble with the bolts like another poster mentioned.) Probably about half the driving I do is going to/from bike rides. I have a...

    West Coast Electric Highway -Oregon completed

    This is great. Just last week we did a 375 mile road trip up and down the Oregon coast in two days. All the QCs we used worked flawlessly except for the one in Yachats. I just wish they would do something about the huge gaping hole in the coverage map from Redmond south and Roseburg east...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    When I called NMAC last week about extending the lease on my 2013 Leaf I was also only given the single 12 month extension option. None of the various other options that people have mentioned on this forum were offered. No 6-month extension, no month-to-month, no 24-month option that someone...

    I think it is NTB14-017.

    extending a lease more than once?

    I wish I knew how you got this offer. My lease expires a couple of days before yours. I got a card in the mail a while ago from Nissan with a number to call to extend the lease. 1-800-778-4211 (warning: don't enter your account number after the prompt, it will dump you into a useless automated...

    LEAF 2 : What we know so far (2018 or later?)

    I had this update done recently. Very noticeable improvement to the 2013 "grabby brakes" problem, at least for me.

    IT IS 3 (now 2) MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT

    I think "crisis overload" is definitely a real phenomenon. I have been reading for decades now about how we are on the verge of one collapse or another. Yet somehow, so far things keep not collapsing, at least not in a way that noticeably affects my comfortable American middle class lifestyle...

    Brands for >30amp J1772 connectors?

    These guys make a unit that they claim can deliver up to 40 amps: http://www.emotorwerks.com/products/online-store/product/show/171-juicebox-classic-40" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; As previously stated, though, with the LEAF, at least, it will never pull more than ~30 amps.
