They have to match or beat the Bolt, but are a full year behind, if they match their schedule. .

In days of yore the model year began in September, to take advantage of a perceived buying season. It also coincided with the new television season. By having the excitement of the new TV season, it increased the visibility of car commercials. The synergy was all about sales.

But what do we REALLY know? The only thing we really know is that they had a test vehicle driving around Michigan in the snow. That vehicle seemed to have some different front and rear design, similar to the IDS concept. Carlos Goshen said Janurary 5 that the next Leaf would come "in the near...

I have already extended my lease 6 months, ending in April. More would require the continuing lease fees and more car registration fees. I was hoping the Goshen keynote at the Detroit Auto Show Jan 5, or the speech the week after would give clarity. It didn't. Only "in the near future"...

I waited as long as I could for Nissan to come through, but they have failed to provide a enough information, and the clock has run out.

I went in in December for another issue, and they thought they had the part, but didn't. Yesterday they said they had it now, and I will go in sometime this week. (It if 40 miles from here). They said it takes 90 minutes.

Back to Plug Share. It is crowd sourced . In my area, there are 8 DCFC being installed. The hardware is partially installed, and someone has added them to Plug Share and comments Under Construction. The company told me that they would be operational this month. ChargePoiant, the hardware...

BTW, I own the same 2013 SL in Ocean Blue, also with 17K miles.. Knowing my car, and given your planning, I think you are fine. I have done 150 miles in a day with 2 stops. L2 chargers will deliver about 20 miles per hour of charging. With the tapering at 80%, it takes about 2.5 -3 hours...

It sounds doable, but be prepared to worry about range, and practice mental math all the way.. ALL new owners do so. As you get more experience, you will find it more comfortable. I have a friend who drove his Leaf from Atlanta to Delaware.. He said he found dealerships were almost the...

The airbag recall is for a faulty sensor and classification software on the passenger seat. AFAIK, it doesn't cause any warnings. I am still waiting for the parts, and get no warnings.

I had all of these types of things happen to me 2 weeks ago in Delaware, as the weather turned cold. I have a 2013 SL, which was 37 months old.. I frutzed around with it for a week, but it it was the 12v battery (inexplicably a Lead-acid battery).. It is smaller ( ~2/3 size) than "normal" car...

I use 5-gallon water bottles to collect and haul sea water for my aquariums.. Good to know I can expand my efforts some what!

There are threads talying everything 12 very battery. It doesn't seem to be a standard size car battery. I just had to replace mine (2013) after 37 months. It seems to have died with the onset of cold weather, and after sitting unused for 2 weeks, unplugged. It had lasted 3 weeks several times...

I printed a page-sized sheet on colored paper that says in large font: For questions or charging requests, please call Owner 302.xxx.xxxx I had it laminated and put it on the dash next to the charging lights on the LEAF. I only need a public charger maybe once a week, and have yet to get...

But do note that the lower Air Density increases range 1.5% per 1000 feet above sea level.

For example, I just went online and found a custom place that could be made for $13.26. for an Aluminum plate. In a google search, I just picked the first ad that came up and created a plate in 2 minutes. It is not as expensive as I thought it would be.

In Delaware front plates are not required. But if you found a way to register your car here, you could have a vanity plate: LEAF is not available, but many variations are: LEAF EV LEAF 1 LEAF 2 (for the next generation) Many states have on-line searches for vanity plates.. :D

You didn't say where you are, but I have had the same thing happen after the temperature dropped 15-20 degrees. Headwinds can also cause a drop.

I just braved the cold to check the TCUID in my 2013 SL which was 2012-9901 By this, I should have the 3G. I was in for service Tuesday for the recall and replacing the dead 12v battery. Service writer came to me with a printed list of the recall notices for my car, and one was for the $199...

IMHO, the difference of .009 cents for the highest recharge time is not significant. At all other timess, the EV is better. In addition, the maintenance costs per a mile are probably much lower for the BEV than the ICE.
