This (reverse/forward setting) bothered me a couple times and for about 30mins before I got the hang of it. My previous beater car had the ignition insert to the right of the steering wheel and the weekend driver takes the key to the left of the steering wheel. It took me a couple days and a few...

Not quite from my experience. The Leaf's driving dynamics are fairly mediocre compared to the Bolt. The Bolt drives better, has better steering weight/feel, has Carplay and has a very nice tight turning radius. The interior does feel cheap and I agree with you that the new Leaf will likely blow...

Current inventory and impending release of the 2018 refresh? Apparently Nissan was going to release a 2016/2017 with 40kWh battery but in light of the Bolt, Tesla 3 and what not, they decided to release a 60kWh for a 200-240 mile range. This delayed their refresh and possibly we have excess...

Thanks Gerry. I'm a bit miserly with power usage but your point is well noted and I'll run it by the electrician. I live by myself and the max power usage I see is that the washer and dryer are on when the TV / cable box are on with the desktop, refrigerator and a couple lights. Thanks jeff and...

You're spot on. These are two unit townhomes and I found the larger amp breaker outside the unit: The front outlet is dedicated and can go. What you mentioned around nuking two 120V breakers and replacing with a 240V is what I figured was gonna happen after all the reading here. I figured...

Thanks Gerry. The "expert install" quote from Amazon was $337 for "mounting" but then when I added the "I don't have a 240V outlet", the total became $500ish. Given what I've heard for 240V install quotes in the area, I was like that's pretty much on par. As in, really I'm paying for the 240V...

Well I did it. I drove home in a 2017 Leaf S today (with the 6.6kW / quick charge). Looking at this EVSE: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013VNIAEU and Amazon says that installation of that EVSE + install of 240V socket is another $518. Not doing the EVSE upgrade as this is a 2 year lease...

Thanks for your additional thoughts everyone. @4CloverLeaf: You've pretty much nailed my line of thinking as well. As for grippy tires, I just like having traction and would rather carry the momentum around corners and curves than brake and engage throttle as a majority of the population seems...

Thanks. I don't want the Premium package around audio or cameras. Do want the CarPlay option so I can listen to streaming sounds of Flat six engine at the redline. I mean music. Leaning towards Leaf now even though I think the Bolt looks miles better as the Leaf is more value for the $ and the...

Thank you. I didn't know about the heat-pump part. As for the driving style, I usually stay at 5-10 over limit and don't get crazy with speeds on public roads. However I'll need to ease off on the throttle as the instant torque may get addictive :). I'm test driving a few cars in the next few...

Hello everyone, Hi. I've spent a few hours here (fine lots of hours here) and before I forget, http://wiki.mynissanleaf.com/ is down. This site has been a very nice resource to get started on the whole EV aspect. I'm an ICE snob in that arena and I currently have a 6MT Cayman that I love...
