My situation is a bit complicated by the fact that my town in Orange County, CA is a bit isolated--some towns north of me, but nothing south of me for 20 miles. And my only path of convenient egress is Interstate 5. So I have to travel at highway speed (65mph+) to avoid getting run over by...

The HOV lane, while convenient for those who qualify and use it properly, can be dangerous. This is because of the limited foresight on the part of many drivers who feel "entitled" to go however fast they want. They must feel that the basic speed limit law just doesn't apply in that lane at...

The car is fine. But at the end of April, I got so distracted from the stock market I was watching (and thinking about bailing out) that to date I have lost an amount equal to 2 LEAFs! Gregg.

According to the law as worded, a car, even an ICE with no battery, but has a socket, could be legally in the space if plugged in. Is that correct? And if the person who unplugs my car happens to be the same one who is fulfilling his quota of citations, then I guess my little Jazz video camera...

My first 4 weeks under SDG&E charging at L2 in my garage cost me $30 more. That is about 14% more than previous month, and 38% more than a year ago (all 3 were very cool here). The tier 3 and 4 increase was about $0.29 per kwh. That was for about 700 miles. My old minivan gets about 20 mpg...

My round trip distance between San Clemente, CA to Vista CA residence is 67 miles. An elevation change of -250 feet is at start, and I get a little bit of regen. About 80% of the distance (53 miles) is on I-5 and CAL 78 freeways. Three times I did the trip without recharging--speed of no more...

Several situations: My friend Garygid took his white LEAF to two "car shows". These were parking lot congregations that are periodically held in Southern California. Mostly classic giant ICE petroleum suckers and tricked out hot rods in attendence. Quite a few wanted to see about the car...

I can drive a two way trip of 33.8 miles each way (total about 67 miles) from a full charge of 12 bars, 92 miles estimated range. I get an extra 10 miles estimated range by going down a 250 foot hill to I-5 freeway. About 85% of the trip is freeway driving in ECO mode with cruise control set...

Today I took my fully charged #1597 LEAF ("StanLEAF Steamer") on a trip from San Clemente to Vista CA and back. At the start, there was on battery indicator all 12 bars and 90 miles projected range. By the time I got (255 feet downhill) to the freeway onramp a mile away, the projected range...

I got my modified unit back within a week (Monday--Friday) including 4 days for UPS ground. Thanks for the fast service! I used Garygid's modified #2 unit while mine was gone. My unit works fine with a heavy duty (12AWG x 3) fifty foot extension cord to the 120vAC 15A wall socket. I have put...

Location of both key fobs? If someone could have driven your car without your knowledge? Did you check the odometer and trip meters?

Got 12 bars and 90 to 95 miles estimated after full charge, and took off on round trip of 75.6 miles. A lot of the driving was on freeways at 60 mph. Got down to one bar and 8 miles estimated range, and that includes an extra boost charging during trip of 40 minutes at 240v at Mossy Nissan...

This is the 12th day I have had the LEAF, but only the second day since getting it back from service on the battery module, which took most of 5 days (Monday morning thru Friday afternoon). So this is my second "post delivery". First one on the 27th was short lived. Overheating fluids during...

I bought a LEAF car cover at the dealership. It is from "Covercraft" and is silver outside, fuzzy white inside. LEAF logo on hood area and on storage bag. $230 plus tax. It is a lot bigger out of the shipping box. I stretched it over car by myself, with some difficulty. A clean car is...

Finished charging to 100%, as shown by Carwings. That may be about 80% of battery capacity. Car showed expected range of about 82 miles. House electric meter shows 24Kwh used while charging in period 645pm to 630am or about 12 hours. My daily use is almost 17Kwh last month. That includes some...

Charged "StanLEAF Steamer" to full this AM. Late this afternoon, drove down coast at 60mph to next town with Garygid. Stopped at a store, short demo in parking lot to nice couple, stopped at Mossy Nissan Oceanside for an amp-nibble from one of their four L2 electro-plugs. Drove home at 63mph...

I drove "StanLEAF Steamer" about 22 miles home last evening, let it sit out (ALL ALONE!) on the driveway, getting real cool. Charging this AM with the L2 voltage by using Garygid's modified Nissan EVSE and my dryer AC socket in the garage. After two hours, no noticable increase in temps...

I have owned the LEAF SL (StanLEAF Steamer) since 4/27 (5PM) and this is morning of the tenth day. I have had the car in my posession for a total of about 96 hours and about 100 miles driven by me, mostly back and forth to dealerships. It has been in for service twice so far, first time up on...
