Hi all, I was at a National Electric Drive event in Cambridge, MA last week and they had the new Leaf on display. Some photos are below. You can see how Nissan is keeping the existing Leaf design in a few interior areas. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxM0RyKhMDatLUlsY1d0XzUyTHM

Hi all, I have a steep driveway and after the wet snow and ice from the blizzard here on the east coast, I've been fighting to get up to the charger attached to my house. I have more success with a running start and traction control off, but sometimes it takes a few tries. At one point when I...

What's your experience with the new(ish) battery packs? I don't feel like I've lost much range since buying the car.

I'm tired of the charge delay function in the '15 Leaf S being so inaccurate. I want to leave for work in the morning with my car at 70%. Instead, because of the way the delay timer works in relation to the battery level when it was last parked, my car is either approaching 100%, or hasn't...

Hi all, A couple times now I've noticed the charge light closest to the driver's side has been blinking on its own towards the end of the charging process, usually between 70-75%. Normally I would expect to see the other two lights illuminated, but they're out and it's apparent charging has...

I'm looking at various used Leafs online and one stands out with this abysmal figure on the dash. How is that even possible? Mine gets 4.0 and I don't baby it or focus on driving efficiently.

Hi all, I purchased a 2015 S about 6 months ago and got a pretty good deal on it. Even so, I'm amazed how much prices on the used Leafs are going down, to the point where I'm thinking of selling mine and grabbing one of those $7,000 2011 / 2012 Leafs with low mileage and 9 bars remaining, then...

I'm considering putting 8kw of panels on my roof and have received a couple quotes so far. Both are around 40k for the setup, and that does seem high to me. Any advice?

What do you suppose I could get for a 2015 S with the charge package, 5k miles, in near perfect condition? I'm thinking about upgrading.

Long story short: My Leaf got rear ended and was being repaired at the dealer for 20 days. During this time I drove a rental around. The at-fault insurance agency would reimburse me for the cost of the rental, as expected. However, since I tend to charge my Leaf for free in work, I made the...

I might take a trip out to Colorado in June for a wedding. Does anyone know if it's possible in a Leaf? How long would it take, on average? There are a few 80+ mile gaps out there around the midpoint of the trip where I'm not seeing any level 2 at all on plugshare. Where do you charge in a...

This is one of those times you wish the Leaf had 4WD!

Yes, Nissan advises against it. I did it anyway because I needed the range. I installed my Juicebox EVSE today and noticed this when putting away the old equipment. Still works! :lol:

The purpose of which is to encourage environmentally friendly driving. I just called today and my Leaf doesn't qualify because it's not a hybrid. :roll:

I've read a lot about Leaf batteries in hot climates degrading much faster than normal (pre-2015 anyway). On the flip side, a cold battery has reduced range. If I'm understanding it correctly, the cold climate range loss isn't damaging the battery? Unlike the hot climate which is actually...

Say you did both at the same time. Does the Leaf charge even faster?

It's my second day with the 2015 Leaf S and after last night it seems that the heater isn't working anymore. Driving for 10 minutes in regular (non-eco) D mode, the heater was blasting code air with the temperature control set at 75. After testing it parked in my driveway running for half an...

NMAC cash back took it down to $24,636. No other dealer came close to this. If you're in New England, check out Commonwealth Nissan in Lawrence, MA.

I'm going to be pushing the limits on my 2015 S (charger upgraded) with an 80 mile round trip commute to work and back each day, almost all highway, in the Boston area. My work has a charger in a parking garage I'll be using. The plan is to drive 40 miles, plug in all day (or half the day to...
