Just turned in our last 2011 Leaf. Got hit with road rash charges and the disposition fee. Overall, the ownership experience was not a pleasant one due to the premature degradation. As a result, we were only able to use 39K out of the available 45K miles that we paid for due to the lack of...

I have an opportunity to buy a 2011 Leaf for wholesale from a local dealer. The SOH is at 71%, so a likely candidate for warranty claim by end of summer here in Texas. Is there a way to determine by its VIN whether the vehicle still qualifies for battery warranty? Any idea on how I would find out?

Just to put it out there, I cannot help but notice that over the last year or so that I have been tossing around the idea of buying a 3rd Leaf, there remain many listings on eBay that are patently inaccurate and (at best) misleading with everything from 'selective' photos of the instrument...

I perused the forums to see if I could find any threads on this topic, but had no luck. I have noticed lately that my iPhone 5 will just stop playing music randomly when connected via USB port. Disconnecting it from the port and then plugging it back in will get it started again. It can happen...

Very cool story. This guy is an all-around geek. http://www.wired.com/2015/02/high-end-dumpster-diving-matt-malone/

We currently have less than a year remaining on our 2011 SL lease and exactly a year on our 2014 S, so I have been thinking about the next step. I intend to replace the 2014 with a 2017 that (hopefully) offers the better range option, but the 2011 I am considering just turning in due to the...

Is this feasible? I really like the Schneider EVlink, but want to wire it so that I can plug it into an existing 10-30R dryer outlet on a circuit with a 30A breaker. The specs say 40A breaker. Would this be a situation where the unit tells the on-board charger that it is OK to draw the full 30A...

I am posting this since it does not come up when I search the forums here and Google yields no details other than posts related to Nissan leases. Does anyone have any idea what this is exactly? Dealer states that it is not an "add-on". Looks negotiable to me as I can see no reason to pay...

Anyone know where can I find it? I am under the impression that the VPP price should be ~ $1K below invoice even though there is always the "dealer participation" clause. I have also been quoted 3 different money factors from different dealers, only one of which showed the value in the...

I have Googled, gone to nissanusa.com and searched the threads (albeit not hundreds of them) here. Where do you go to find the CURRENT tier-based money factor being offered by NMAC?

Not a surprise really. :| http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/12/ecotality-bankruptcy-idUSL4N0GD34I20130812?feedType=RSS&feedName=rbssEnergyNews&rpc=43" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here's your chance...at a piece of EV infamy you might say. :lol: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Leaf-SL-2011-NISSAN-LEAF-SL-NAVIGATION-REAR-CAMERA-BLUETOOTH-BEST-OFFER-BUYS-/221152013581?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item337dafed0d" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I posted this over in PriusChat as well....is anyone else going to be attending this event? As always, the Plug-in conference has a great lineup of speakers, breakouts and this year here in Texas an offsite tour to the Southwest Research Institute ( http://www.swri.org/ ). It would be great to...

Cannot find a reasonable deal on one. A local dealer here in Houston has a 2011 SL listed for last year's full MSRP and the only "special" they have is the "$7500 Nissan lease cash". Gee. Wow. Now, this is the "2011 BLOW OUT!" price as well mind you. :lol: :roll: I am looking to lease an SL...

There are two L2 Blink charging stations at a local shopping locale that we frequent. I called one of them in to Blink 3 weeks ago and it was taken out of service....and has been out of service since then. Today I went to charge at the other one and it was asking for a zip code confirmation, but...

I have just started one for anyone that is interested. :D

Is anyone familiar with this outfit? They sell their panels at Costco, Home Depot and a few other outlets. I get about $1000 a month in HD gift cards as part of my bonus/incentive system and I have already bought all of the LED bulbs, water filtration and appliances that I need. I figure I can...

The quick and dirty: Located an orphan that I wish to lease and was approved. Unfortunately, dealer is not local. They are now telling me that I need to come in to complete the transaction. Any insight? I had planned on merely signing the approprite paper work, submiiting a deposit and...

I hope this has not been asked before, but has anyone had success applying a "corporate partner" incentive towards the Leaf? This would be the incentive offered for Nissan employees, corporate partners, etc.. If so, what was the outcome in terms of savings? We are thinking about leasing another...
