Got an EV System warning light this morning. Got to work and it refused to charge at work, so that eliminates the EVSE at home I suppose. The EV System warning goes out after restarting the car, but it still refuses to charge. LEAFSpy shows 21 DTC's logged. Taking it to the dealer this...

I saw this craigslist listing for a 2016 LEAF, parts only. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pts/5761098978.html I don't see much body panel damage (the hood looks tweaked). Wonder why its totalled already?

Saw a nice shiny Red 2012 LEAF on display in the main lobby at the Nissan Franklin HQ today. A sign next to it encouraged Nissan employees to take advantage of a deal on lease return 2012 LEAF's. The sign directed employees to find out more on the Nissan intranet. Nissan do have numerous...

I was at the dealer this morning for my 82,500 mile service interval. I saw a White LEAF raised off the ground and two battery packs on carts close by. I remarked that it looked like they were changing the battery. Yes was the response, that LEAF came in with just 3 capacity bars left. Yikes...

I recently took delivery of a Clipper Creek HCS-40P EVSE which is working great. I noticed on the ID label on the box that it said "TN GRID" See Photo below. Are the Clipper Creek EVSE's manufactured to meet specific state grid requirements? If you move out of state what's the impact? I...

http://wate.com/2015/05/21/state-offers-rebates-for-buyers-leasers-of-qualifying-electric-cars/ Tennessee has reinstated its EV rebate program. Not all the money set aside was used while it was in force the first time around, so they've decided to reinstate with the exact same conditions...

Jehad Salameh in Canada has invented Regenerative braking. Let's hope Nissan can incorporate this advanced technology into the 2016 LEAF. http://www.guelphmercury.com/opinion-story/4887466-some-ideas-for-keeping-electric-vehicles-running/ Did I blink? Is it April the 1st?

Congratulations on a dealer turning a negative into a positive! See news article below. http://www.sys-con.com/node/3200792 Wonder if Nissan corporate will shut down this line of reasoning.

It's a long story, but the Embassy Suites in Franklin TN told me I am not welcome to charge my car at their hotel (Despite asking and being given permission). The long story can be read here. http://jpwhitenissanleaf.com/2014/08/23/embassy-suites-hospitality-turns-sour/ If you are visiting...

Got the following notice from CarCharging/Blink today. Not sure why we'd have to wait for 'replacement parts' they are readily available online/Amazon etc. Got a 2011 LEAF so no big deal for me. Even for 2013+ LEAF's it is a small reduction n charge level.

I met a driver at the DC Fast Chargers at Nissan HQ today. As I waited for his charge to complete we got to talking. I noticed it was a 2013 and he shared he had it 2 months. He was amazed I had 32,000 miles. Yeah he said I've got 1,500 miles. I asked him how he liked it. I do like the car was...

Went to Wholefoods in Franklin TN today ay midday. They have two EVSE's at this location. One in use by a silver LEAf the other ICED by a Lexus. I parked in an adjacent space and the cord reached my car easily. It did occur to me the Lexus might leave and a LEAF arrive. I left my EV Charging...

I found an interesting webservice browsing through Flipboard this evening. One can view DOT traffic cameras on the LEAF Nav Screen using RSS feeds customized in CarWings. Service started up in Nashville (165 Cams) and is now adding cams in Portland OR/Vancouver...

I've come to learn that charging Lithium Ion Batteries below 32F can cause lithium plating to occur. The LEAF's battery temp gauge at 4 bars goes from below freezing to above freezing, not a lot of help. The user manual simply states that charging will take longer below freezing. Does anyone...

.... When it's a Hybrid!!!!!!! A Dealer in Huston has listed a 2011 LEAF on eBay. The engine is described as Interesting that dealers really don't know what they are selling when it comes to a BEV. eBay listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SL-SV-/110975065364?forcev4exp=true#ht_4347wt_1165...

Visited Radnor Lake State Park in Tennessee this last weekend. The two Blink units were "on the blink" so to speak. The parking spaces had bollards indicating "No Parking" and "Tow Away Zone". Faced with no other available spaces and a 10 minute wait lining up to get into the parking lot in the...

I checked the firmware releases for my 2011 LEAF. It shows Bluetooth Firmware revision C230. I see that the current LEAF's have version C237. Does anyone know if this newer firmware comes with any goodies or fixes worth getting? Are Bluetooth firmware revisions specific to Year Models or not? JP

I went to a professional meeting this evening and the subject turned to EV's. I kept my LEAF ownership to myself to see how the discussion would develop. Here's how it went. "Didn't they just close the plant for those electric vehicles ?" "Yeah that's right the Chevy LEAF" "That's it, those...
