I live in Gilroy but will be taking a summer job for two months at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. I had originally planned on simply flying there (and likely still will), but when I found out that there are a multitude of L2 chargers on the LMU campus there, I started fantasizing...

I'm going to attempt my first "beyond battery range" trip in my Leaf: from my home in Gilroy to a work conference in San Mateo. You're probably thinking "that's only 65 miles", but keep in mind that's 65 miles of highway driving going 65+mph with significant portions hilly, not to mention on a...

I seem to recall some time ago, there was some discussion regarding EVSE at the San Jose airport. What is the current status of the feasibility of charging a Leaf at the airport (in my particular case, just for short-term hourly parking while I pick someone up)? I'm pretty sure there's no QC...

mxp brought to my attention that there might be some EVSE installed at the Gilroy Outlets; I live nearby and swung by after work to take a look and sure enough, there they were (I'd swear they weren't there when I was there last month!) They are on the side of the Sony outlet (bright blue...

Here's an oddball question (I searched around the forum, but this issue doesn't seem to have ever been addressed yet that I could see, though quite possible my search skills are lacking) -- my understanding is that climate preconditioning cannot be done simultaneously with charging the Leaf if...

As a high school teacher, I've had the opportunity to extol the virtues of my Leaf upon a captive audience :D I've even been known to give test drives around the school parking lot to more than a few of my students, and I've heard expressed interest in the car from a least 3 parent families...

Maybe this is old hat for most of you on the forum, but it's certainly a new one on me! I was in the Fourth St Garage in downtown San Jose Sunday afternoon and saw something I hadn't seen before: a Leaf receiving a charge from one of the old-fashioned "paddle-style" chargers (not sure the...

Last night when returning home from work, I had put 42 miles on my Leaf (typical round trip for my daily commute). Generally, it takes my Blink a little over 3 hrs to charge to 100% from that (I guess I really should just be charging to only 80%, but I'm overly paranoid about having to run...

Just came across this news article from Edmunds: http://www.autoobserver.com/2011/06/aaa-to-offer-mobile-charging-for-evs.html In a nutshell: The article didn't give a timeline for when it might start being widely implemented in the USA (but this might be announced at the Plug-In conference...

On the commute home today (Wed 05/18) at around 5:30pm my girlfriend spotted her first "Leaf in the wild" (I'm bummed that I wasn't in the car, as I still have never come across one myself, outside of a Nissan dealership). She said it was silver, covered with tons of multicolored stickers, had...

Had my first case of "power anxiety" tonight (if there is such a thing...) Arrived home for the night with a single bar to spare on the Leaf, fairly typical for us on a "double work night", but generally not a problem since the L2 charges us back up to full by the time we leave in the morning...

My poor girlfriend had her first negative experience driving the Leaf today. Due to an unforeseen event (I got sick and had to take off work), we had an extra 17 miles put onto our daily commuting distance in order take me home this morning. Life Happens sometimes, right? Well, without any...
