Great advice. I will keep this in mind the next time we go on vacation in the winter. thank you! Peace

Thank you!!

Thanks everyone for your responses - I'll have the circuit breaker where the faulty outlet is connected to checked soon. My husband thinks using an extension cord to use the other working outlet inside the house to charge the car is fine, but I'm a bit uneasy after reading what you all wrote...

Just want to report back to you all. We came back from being gone for 10 days (Leaf was at almost full charge level when we left) and it started right up. I don't use any extra device to accurately measure range so don't have accurate answer on what charge is left then, but it looked like it...

Great! I'm feeling much better now. You rock! Thanks so much and I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! Peace

Thanks everyone, for your prompt replies! We live in a small split entry home w/ a tug under garage. So, the garage has one shared wall with the house and its ceiling is also heated; therefore, it's never been that cold even in the deep of winter (I think I'd worry more if we had to leave...

Hello everyone, I found a related topic when I did a search but then that thread went into much technical aspect of electricity, etc. that i didn't understand. So, i just would like to confirm: if my Leaf's battery will be OK when we go on vacation for 10 days? We're lucky to have a garage...

thank you! wow, I didn't even know there was such an announcement - was too busy negotiating with several dealers. I got them to bid for my business, and I believe i've got a fair price at the end :) Great news though! Peace

Thank you Tim Lee and cgaydos, for your comments - appreciate them. Just bought a Pearl White 2014 Leaf SL this afternoon. It's a beautiful car! I'm now officially a member of this "club" :) Peace

thank you everyone for your advice! P.

Hello TimLee, Yes, i'm afraid I've changed my mind back and forth quite a bit. But i had a lengthy discussion w hubby and we've agreed that our situation works better w/ a purchase vs a lease. Both of our commutes to work are very short, 10 mile roundtrip for me (and i work from home once to...

thanks for your helpful reply cgaydos. I will definitely upgrade our electrical system. regarding the pricing of the '13 Leaf, I think I'd know what a good deal is by now. thanks again. Peace

Thanks cgaydos, for your thoughtful comments. Yes, I have been doing emails & phone calls w/ dealers all day today (I'm not comfortable showing up at the dealership to negotiate, that's why I've done a lot of online research so I knew almost exactly what's in each dealership inventories, etc...

thanks cgaydos, for your super fast reply! they're very helpful - I 'll keep them in mind when I deal w/ the dealership tomorrow (sign- feel like I'm doing battles soon) I thought that the warranties are between the manufacturer and you - not the dealership? P.

[ sorry, my first question was already answered. So, even w/ no mile accumalated, the new '13 may have suffered quite a bit of degradation anyway (sign - I was hoping for a different answer). So, if one can afford to buy/lease now, one should just get the current/'14 model Leaf, since even a...
