    End of Lease Strategies?

    I was looking to extend my lease (ending July 4th) and called the special number for the incentive. Same deal, 3 months free, blah blah. My problem was when I leased this car, I rolled negative equity into the lease, making my payments the last 3 years $679/mo. All they would offer was to...

    Capacity Loss on 2011-2012 LEAFs

    I just lost my first capacity bar at 30,315 miles. Exactly 2.5 years since delivery. I'm in Atlanta, GA. From the looks of things, I'd say my battery pack is doing pretty well in comparison. I have a ~60 mile round-trip commute. Right now I can comfortably make it from home and back on a...

    Bridgestone EP422 tires swapped for Michelin Primacy MXV4s.

    I purchased Michelin Defenders to replace my Ecopias (25,000 miles... moderately worn sidewalls, but took a roofing nail in the sidewall of one tire). All I can say about the Defender is that I'm so glad Michelin has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee! I took a huge hit to range. It felt like I...

    Work with Disney to make Autopia a proper Tomorrowland ride.

    I corrected my earlier post. It's Hong Kong Disneyland, not Tokyo. Story still applies. :-) Honda Sponsors the attraction, not an oil company.

    Work with Disney to make Autopia a proper Tomorrowland ride.

    The autopia in * Hong Kong* Disneyland uses battery electric cars. The cars have speakers which simulate ICE noise. The ride is sponsored by Honda.

    It would be fun to crash the home show at Galleria tomorrow... but there's not really a good lot to set up shop....

    I'm done with Quick Charging and Road Trips...

    Does anyone expect to have the option of just replacing the battery pack in 5-8 years with better batteries vs buying a new vehicle?

    Stoaty's Guide to Energy Efficient Driving of the Leaf

    OK, so I get that you can quickly pop the LEAF in N by selecting R while driving at speed. Once in N, does it matter what speed you're going if you want to put in back in D/ECO? Thanks!

    Anyone in Georgia?

    Does Walgreens require you to stay with the vehicle while it's charging? Is a purchase required? Can I park it and come back in a couple hours? This week I had to drive beyond my range and hoped to park and charge at a Nissan dealer while I was at an appointment. They told me I had to stay...

    Anyone in Georgia?

    When I went into the South Fulton tag office, they had no idea what the AFV tag was. I had to show them the tag on their own website, via my phone. It then took them about 10 minutes in conference to come back to the window and process my application.

    Why Did You Choose the Nissan Leaf over the Chevy Volt?

    In no particular order: 1. I'm a hatchback kinda guy. (Traded in a Mazda Protege5) 2. I was pi$$ed at all things oil, so I wanted a pure EV. 3. Trust Issues with GM. (EV1 Crushing, Lack of commitment to the technology) 4. Nissan made a full commitment to EVs. I respect that. 5. Nissan's test...

    Anyone in Georgia?

    I added some solar and applied for the 2011 tax credit. I was denied in 2011 because all that years funds were already reserved. I got a letter approving me for a small portion in 2012, but that was for only 1/8th of what I applied for. Hopefully the rest will carry over to the 2013 tax year...

    LED lighting

    I replaced all my recessed bulbs with these LEDs from Home Depot also. I'm very pleased with them and the color is very nice.

    Anyone in Georgia?

    I'm with Greystone EMC. There's no special EV rate. All my charging kWh's are always 7.36¢ That super off-peak rate is fantastic!
