    Tempted by the dark side...

    I like to stay informed about the state of EVs, so last week I took the Tesla Model Y for a test drive.

    Gen 2 heated steering wheel

    My wife and I drove for a few hours in 33F temperatures this weekend, and I noticed that the heated steering wheel on our SL Plus was merely warm most of the time (as it usually seems to be), but on a few occasions it got actually quite hot.

    West Coast Electric Highway - 2018 Leaf incompatibility

    Those of us who live in Oregon and Washington and bought a 2018 Leaf have probably discovered by now that most of the public fast charging infrastructure is incompatible with the new Leaf. The problem appears to be confined to AeroVironment chargers that have had their charging connectors...

    Cold weather package - rear seat heater ducts?

    Hi all, I currently have a 30kWh Leaf and have been considering upgrading to the 40kWh model while the WA state sales tax exemption lasts, and I have a question about the Cold Weather Package. Namely, Nissan claims that it includes "Rear Heater Ducts", but I don't recall seeing any vents to the...
