Thank you for the replies. I'll figure out a plan as I get close to end of lease in a year. I didn't think about buying a new stock 120v charger and leaving that with the car when I turn in. That's a good idea. If I stick with leasing a 2nd LEAF from the same dealer, I wonder if it would be a...

I just got my charging unit upgraded to 240v via EVSE.com. Prior to this, I'd been trickling charging at 120 v all the time. I just noticed that my 2014 SV is making a whirring/humming while charging at 240v with the EVSE.Com upgraded unit. I never heard any humming/whirring at all while...

I ended up getting the EVSE.com upgrade rather than a AV Turbocard, but now I'm wondering what I was thinking: 1. I have turn my 2014 LEAF SV back in in 12 months (March 2016). At that point I will have to exchange my upgraded charging unit for a standard 120 v. charger so i can turn the car...

THank you for your replies. I guess I don't quite understand what LeftieBiker is saying. If I buy this product --...

I am thinking buying a AeroVironment TurboCord 240 Volt Plug-in EV Charger. I really need a 240V charger. I've been trickle charging my 2014 LEAF for 11 months now, hit turtle mode 3 times in past 6 months, and had my LEAF come to a complete halt last night 300 meters from home. This was with...

Did you go to a California dealer?

Thanks to everyone for all of the replies. So, I went to Larry Miller Nissan in the Denver area again today, and I actually had to show the salesman the main Nissan LEAF web page advertising the national (suggested?) lease deals -- URL = http://tinyurl.com/m5x64qd He said he couldn't find it...

So, I see Boardwalk Nissan in California advertising lease rates like this: 2014 SV Lease: MSRP: $33,045 Down Payment: $2,995 Term: 24 Months Annual Mileage: 12,000 Payment: $129 plus tax Meanwhile, I have a Denver, Colo dealer, Larry Miller Nissan, quoting me something a lot less attractive...

Wow, Sure wish dealers in Denver area were offering leases on the SV for $129 per month. Larry Miller Nissan quoted me $291 per month with $2,700 down, 2-year lease with 12,000 miles per year for a LEAF SV. Wow, what a huge difference? Anyone know of a Denver area dealer that can get me closer...

Very much appreciate all the feedback :-) Stupid question: You don't get the $7,500 tax credit or any state tax credits when you buy a used EV -- or do you? (I'm in Colorado, BTW -- a couple people have asked if I'm in California) Cheers.

Sorry to be so dense, but what do you mean by "sell the remaining lease months"? To whom, and how? Thank you.

I'm really eager to buy a LEAF and power it with our 5.59 kW home solar. Trouble is, there's a good chance I'll be working in Europe for a year, starting in the fall of 2013. You might say, just wait to buy a LEAF then. Trouble is, we're running two gas clunkers, a '92 Integra (157,000 miles)...

OK, looked at the other thread -- Incremental Price Difference (IPD). But it's still a mystery to me what car model DOR is using to determine IPD, and on what (arbitrary?) basis...

What document are you pulling the above from? It seems to be in direct contradiction with the document (link in my original post) I pulled this from --> "If the credit allowed exceeds the net tax liability for that year, any excess credit may be carried forward and claimed on future year...

Thank you for the info -- sorry to be dense, but what does IPD stand for?
