Lots of new posts and you tube videos on this one -- too bad LEAF's use CHADeMo which won't work on these. Neat idea but as many non-Tesla EV's chargeports are not in the same spot as Tesla's (driver's side rear) could be a challenge as the videos are showing - if Nissan switches to CCS like...

Have an issue perhaps a bit unique but may not be as it may relate to 3.6 to 7.2 kW charging rates -- My Schneider EV2430WS (1st gen) EVSE has provided troublefree charging for my '12 LEAF SL for 5 years (the first gen LEAF has a 3.6 kW charge rate) but now since 'upgrading' to a '15 VW e-Golf...

Who knew --- new LEAF a 'bargain' ??? At least in Canada https://cleantechnica.com/2016/08/10/3000-reservations-nissan-leaf-group-buy-quebec/ "That reader, Bruno Marcoux, seems to have outdone even his expectations. Last night, he sent along an update that he had received 3,000 reservations...

Now this is cool ... not cheap ($1.48M AUS = $1.12M USD starting price for a house) but still cool http://onestepoffthegrid.com.au/welcome-to-tesla-town-the-new-melbourne-suburb-with-a-powerwall-in-every-home/ Houses in the development will also feature electric car recharging points, while...

The BMW 740e plug-in hybrid luxury yacht As with other plug-in hybrids, the 740e will be able to run on electric juice alone, with BMW indicating that the sedan will be able to cover between 25 and 30 miles on a full charge. With something this big and heavy, that's not all that bad but...

I'm enjoying (a bit) this NCTC myself (albeit with a '12 LEAF as part of the battery degradation lawsuit) but looks like they've extended it to 11 more markets that include Las Vegas, Cleveland and Detroit -- 2 years of free public charging with new purchase or lease...

I would assume pre-'97 because that's the first year the OBD-II system was in place to determine if emissions systems are working --- interesting that they believe this would only impact about 10% of current cars that travel into the city ... no question smog is a big issue there...

As we're getting our street repaved soon and our '12 LEAF SL w/QC (and down 1 capacity bar) won't have access to our garage L2 charger decided to activate that 'free' EZ-Charge card now (part of that settlement on the whole battery degradation issue) as it will more than cover the time I'll need...

although panned a few times over the years (Cross Blue Coupe comes to mind), here is yet another possibility for VW's next version of a model that I currently drive (a '13 Touareg VR6 gas, not diesel). Always loved the fit and finish and mid size nature; if it does indeed get a true 31 miles in...

With total LEAF registrations in NZ of around 1,000 vehicles (and it sounds like most were used anyway); not surprised that Nissan decided to abandon new LEAF sales for now but it makes it that much harder for potential buyers who would have wanted to buy new...

Ahh, what a problem to have ... http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1102471_mercedes-to-make-executives-drive-plug-in-hybrids-or-electric-cars Give me an S-class with a plug any day; now if they extended their 'supplier' discount beyond just to Mercedes employees (similar to Nissan's VPP...

We saw the PHEV version of the XC90 SUV again at this year's Chicago Auto Show (this year it wasn't roped off, you could actually sit in it and check out the cargo area, etc.) but its too big for us and we don't need the limited EV range and 3rd row (very small as well) seats so this V90 wagon...

Nissan and BMW are joining forces to offer public fast charging at 120 locations across 19 states in an effort to support Nissan LEAF and BMW i3 customers and to promote increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) nationwide...

Another one (if it ever becomes reality) to challenge the Tesla X ... http://autoweek.com/article/green-cars/report-mercedes-elc-will-be-electric-glc-class-536-hp-tap#ixzz3ugl3WQ4m Autobild indicates that total output is likely to be around 536 hp, with the ELC having a range of 248 miles on...

As pricing has been released ($29,520) as well as electric range (55 miles) it could justify its own thread here on MNL ... overall styling reminds me of an Impala but probably a bit smaller. Very decent gas mileage when not using electric power (combined at 47 MPG) is also in its favor; only...
