Good points.....so the exchange rate is the savings engine. It must going to be saving a bundle especially if Nissan adds the 6.6 charger AND the improved heat-pump-type heating system and the Tax credits go away, all still allowing for a price drop. Hmmmmm, now, I wonder how the intangible...

I have read in previous threads that the 6.6 charger is more expensive than the 3.3.....the total cost being impacted by the more expensive charger itself plus a different more robust harness as well. This was the reasoning why the 3.3 equipped cars couldn't be retro-fitted cost effectively and...

Tronz, what should the offsets be for the front & rear?....it looks like you mentioned +23 for the rear for a 18"rim, so would the front be the same?

I like it.....nice mod.....even nicer write up. (It helped to read the thread instead of just looking at the pics because when I came to the bracket schematic and pics, I thought, "nope....too hard....I can't fab those brackets". Then I read that you bought the angle aluminum from Home Depot...

ROFLMAO :lol: :lol: :lol: ....that's awesome!!!!! I do like the look with the blacked out mods and larger rims.....one of the pics on that site has some Recaro Speed seats, I have a brand new pair of those in storage. If i didn't have to use the seat-heaters, I would drop them in. Has...

Not to stray to far off-topic, but following the train of thought of, if the 70% capacity becomes the battery's new 100% after +8 years, then will we have to still charge to an 80% level?.....would that be an effective level of 56%?....or at some point as we lose bars/capacity can we start to...

Yeah, I was looking at the big 47 staring at me on the dash.....so no, I don't know if the 47% is real, since it is from the GOM....these were test runs using the dealer demo until my Leaf arrives and I definitely don't have a Gid meter set up on it. I really was basing my 47 from the fact that...

They pulled out a 3-Fold Pamphlet that was in the car....it is paperwork that the dealer is supposed to review with the LEAF-buyer and have the buyer sign. There is some verbiage in that document that refers to the battery warranty. It may be the information to which you refer to Stoaty.....8...

I just went through this thread and the 'Phoenix 11 bar' thread and want a clarification on the battery warranty. What is the battery warranty actually?....my dealer's statement sounded like the battery will hold at least 80% of its charge after 8 yrs or 100K miles. However, when I read these...

From a 80% starting charge, my drive to work ends up with a 47% charge when I arrive there. I plan to recharge using the L2 at work to bring it back to 80%, so I plan to stay within the sweet-spot-range. However, the L2 at work is in the blazing mid-south sun here in West Tenn where summer...

I was at my dealer last night and asked since I'm buying the Leaf, what the cost of the annual battery evaluation would be (once I got my 2 free ones).....the dealer said he didn't know since no-one at his dealership has brought in a Leaf outside of the 2-year-free-window. He did say that at...

Thanks, that chart contains a wealth of info. So it shows that 80% charge can go 60 miles until dead. What speeds is this for and is any climate control used? I'm trying to see how this would correlate to my driving habits/conditions.

Thanks all for the responses. As always, this group provides a discussion that not only answers my questions but exceeds that with much appreciated additional info.

My route to work is 25 miles one way.....20 miles are on the expressway with speed limits of 65 mph and the remaining 5 miles are stop-and-go city streets. I borrowed a Dealer-Demo and drove in to work (Temp 65 degrees so no A/C or Heat) and decided to drive with traffic....speeds were between...

As I was reading the discussions in this thread about the inclusion of the 3.3 vs the 6.6,the question came to mind, wouldn't the 3.3 charger be better than the 6.6 for battery longevity? This would be since the 3.3 would charge the battery slower.....and slower charge is better for battery life?

Thanks all for clearing things up for me...your explainations and information on this was very helpful. I agree DesertD.....my confusion was between tax liability and taxes withheld. Everyones' explainations makes perfect sense....I had run a test using my hypothetical numbers through...

After reading thru the thread, I want to make sure that I understand the $7500 Fed tax credit thing better. I'm going to use imaginary numbers but let's say that based on factoring all of the salary, dividend income, savings interest income, mortage interest and charitable deductions, I owe...
