Mods, I did a quick search for this but did not find anywhere to post. If needed, please move this to another topic. I am looking for comments from any California members who did not keep their LEAFs a full 3 years. What happened with respect to the CARB rebate? Did they sell the car, contact...

First, if any of the mods think this needs to be moved into another thread, please do so... Like many, my LEAF lost it's first battery capacity bar at the end of last summer. Since then, I've been reading about options to keep my garage cooler during the summer. From memory, some of the options...

I know a lot of the discussion right now is on our batteries degrading. But the news that a L2 power supply (can we call them chargers, even thought they're not?) has been installed in the Yosemite Valley got my wandering side active again. So, with some help from MyNissanLEAF member GRA, I...

Since 2009, Speed Ventures' REFUEL has opened world-famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to electric cars and motorcycles for a showcase of cutting-edge technology in a motorsports setting. Production vehicles, prototypes, conversions and purpose-built race cars and bikes are provided no-cost...

I thought there was something on this event posted earlier, but I don't see it now. Anyway, the Electric Auto Association is sponsoring an event that others may be interested in. If you want to bring your car, you'll likely have to join the EAA, but it's a good organization and you can get a 3...

Okay, I can be a sucker for a sales pitch. So, I received an offer from Direct Buy for a free Amazon Kindle if I sit through their sales pitch. Some Google searching before the appointment convinced me that I won't sign up for the Direct Buy program ($4,990 for a 3 year membership would be the...

Electric Vehicle Grant Workshop March 17 in Fresno, California For people who haven't purchased yet (maybe let friends know), this Workshop on Saturday promises to be helpful. A snippet of the details -- This unique workshop provides a one-stop shop for information about: - Vehicle and...

I'm starting this thread to discuss our experiences with the LEAF one-year battery check. Owners, check your Warranty booklet to see that the first two yearly battery checks should be performed by your dealer without cost to you. (MODS - if I missed another similar thread in my search, please...

Another attendee at the Santa Monica Plug In America Parade suggested that I contact Harris Ranch (California I-5 at Coalinga) about their EV charger plans. They currently have a partnership of sorts with Tesla drivers where Tesla put in a charging station awhile back. Well, I emailed Harris...

A lot of discussion lately centers around where to charge when not at home. One take on this is that Nissan dealers should not be considered primary charging locations. If a Blink or ChargePoint station is in the same area as a dealer, I'll try the commercial (Blink or ChargePoint) station...

Would anyone else be interested in meeting at the local blood bank for a donation and photo op? I'm a regular platelet donor at the Jenny Eller center (Fresno, Herndon and Blythe). Since I spend a couple of hours there each time I donate, I've asked if they'd be interested in sponsoring a EV...

LEAF rider is the one to meet yeah! LEAF rider don't use no gas now LEAF rider don't drive to fast Take a little trip Take a little...

We've got two Nissan dealers in Fresno/Clovis. I bought my car from Nissan of Clovis and they are very happy letting me use their L2 chargers any time. Lithia Nissan of Fresno is the other dealer. I've used their charger a few times. They've had an okay attitude towards my charging needs. After...

Just wondering - has anybody removed their LEAF's rear seats? The bottom cushion comes out very easily but exposes some speacial LEAF stuff when it is removed. I haven't tried removing the rear upper cushions, but it looks harder then removing the lower ones. I'm wondering for two reasons...

First, I've go to thank High Sierra RV Park and Campground and give them a plug (phone 559-683-7662). They are very friendly and helpful. I've been wanting to make it to Glacier Point since picking up my LEAF in January. Well, yesterday I made it. Barely. Here's my story. Left home (elevation...

After running a few errands yesterday, I wanted to take a drive. So, I charged up to 100% at Nissan of Clovis and headed up towards Oakhurst. I had previously gone to Coarsegold and back on a full battery, so I thought I try Oakhurst (it's just another 10 miles or so and up then down a hill)...

If so, would you give us a drive report, please? I'm thinking of doing a trip from Fresno to LA and the Grapevine is the big question in my plans. Thanks!

I've decided to upgrade my EVSE and that means shipping my only means of charging off to Phil for a few days. I have a 23 mile round trip commute and I work four days per week. I live and work in Fresno, where the land is basically flat and my commute can be either highway or streets. Streets...

I'm planning to show off my LEAF at the Fresno Earthday event. It's Saturday, 04/30/11. I'll be there from 11am to at least 1:30pm, but the event goes on until 4pm. The address is: 2672 E Alluvial Ave., Clovis, CA 93611. It sounds like fun -- live music • workshops • demonstrations • tours •...

FYI I thought the SiriusXM on LEAF's came with a three month trail, so my time would be up soon. But they told me it comes with a six month trial. And the trial started when it was at Long Beach (December 10, 2010 in my LEAF's case). I've been debating if I wanted to keep it (I like some of...
