Take a look at this: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/03/google-installs-a-wireless-ev-charging-station/ May be too expensive for home charging, but what a great way to charge at a restaurant/retail establishment, or even a gas station...

Since we had such a great time last time, its time to plan our second outing. Does everyone want a repeat (meet at EG Nissan, plug in as needed, carpool over to BJs) or would that be too predictable/boring? Saturday again? In April? I know a couple more people have their cars now, and have...

Well, at least we share good taste with these judges! http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/tl-design-awards-2011/11

My driveway slopes down into the garage, so I have to back up the slope, and I found the Leaf rolls forward if I take my foot off the accelerator (almost said gas pedal :oops: ) - haven't had this happen in automatic transmissions in decades - does the transmission disengage as soon as you lift...

A couple of benefits I did not expect when I bought the Leaf: 1. Its a mobile science lab - today I had a long conversation with my 13-yr old about regen and eco mode on the way to tennis lessons. She has already volunteered the car for her middle school science class to study. I keep thinking...

How about we apply some "social networking" to the range issue? If all of us Leaf owners, especially those who have 240v EVSEs, band together, we can provide quite a charging network, at least in case of emergencies, for fellow Leaf owners (maybe even extend the courtesy to other EV owners, if...

A German company call "lekker energie" is about to test an Audi A2 equipped with its batteries on a Munich-Berlin run, a distance of about 600km (about 360 miles). Here's hoping Moore's law applies to battery technology too...

This is why I love being a geek... http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/09/ff_electriccars/2/ Amit

Just heard from my dealer that my order WILL be delivered in December - has anyone else received any confirmation? Amit Ordered Aug 31.

Updated 2/13/11 We're meeting at 12 noon on Feb 26th at the Elk Grove Nissan dealer, so folks who need it can charge their Leafs. We will then carpool over to BJs for lunch/refreshments/animated conversation/friendly banter (I might choose to defend the Volt against the Leaf ;) ) Some topics...

Anybody here from the Sac/surrounding area? I'm hoping we can encourage Nissan to bring the Leaf here for test drives sooner rather than later... Amit El Dorado Hills
