Kathy - It’s nice hearing from you. I had the Volt for just about a year. I enjoyed the ability to take longer trips, but that was about it. The quality of the Volt was really disappointing. It ended up being one of those 80% complete kinds of products. It had a lot of little quirks like...

Wow, it’s been a year and a half since anyone has posted on here. I tried the Facebook thing, but Facebook creeps me out too much. I ended up buying a 2018 Nissan LEAF to replace the Chevy Volt that I had purchased. I wish I would have just kept my 2012 LEAF. The 2018 LEAF is a great...

The rear windshield wiper has been given away.

It looks like our LEAF group has kind of disappeared. Back in March I ended up trading in my LEAF. I ended up getting a Chevrolet Volt. I miss my LEAF, I have a lot of good memories (nearly 5 years of them), but I'm glad I can once again do road trips. For anyone who is interested, I have a...

It's been a year or so since I've been on here. Last summer we got charging stations installed at work also. We have 10 spots, and I'd say about 4 or so are regularly used every day by employees. We have an additional four spots outside for the public. It occurred to me this week that I've...

Below is an interesting article I came across today. It's an interview with a LEAF owner with 150,000 miles and his experiences. http://insideevs.com/exclusive-interview-with-steve-marsh-as-his-nissan-leaf-hits-150000-miles-original-battery/

I also got my $50 check. As far as the recall, it affected 2012 models (maybe other years too). I have a 2012, but when I researched it further, the recall only affects models manufactured between a certain date range.

So, I came back from a business trip on Friday, and the Nissan Leaf app is no longer working on my iPhone. I get an error message "The service cannot be provided. Please try it again or contact NISSAN." And today, I received an email and letter in the mail today about cellular service being...

How about the 12V lead acid battery? I wonder how long it'll last. I'm holding out for the self driving cars. I wonder when they will come out.

It's that time of the year again. My tires were getting a bit bare, so I had them replaced several weeks ago. It was kind of expensive, $605.00, but at least it is done. I always enjoy the seat heaters and steering wheel heater this time of the year. Now that I've had my car for over 3 1/2...

What an odyssey!! I finally was able to get my account closed with SemaConnect. It only took me several months and multiple phone calls. At the end of the conversation the lady, who was very nice and seemed to know what she was doing, asked me why I was closing my account ... if there was...

I have Symphony season tickets, so I try to use the stations at the PAC as much as possible. They cost money, but I like supporting the infrastructure. I agree with Dave, they are often ICE'd. The garage is owned by the city, and they are well aware of the ICEing problem. Maybe three years...

An interesting article in this morning's New York Times: In California, Electric Cars Outpace Plugs, and Sparks Fly - The New York Times https://apple.news/AwT9TuhJJTYeiqA0OcinDdA

So, I don't know if this changed again or what, but now they look like they are $2.00 / hour with a one hour minimum. What concerns me about these SemaConnect stations the most is not the price but how poorly their stations and network are managed. The station at the Walgreens in Liberty has...

DANGER Prepare to be gouged. The SemaConnect stations (the ones at Walgreens' locations in town) appear to have changed their pricing structure again. Get this, it looks like they are now $8.00 per hour with a $2.00 minimum. My email to their customer service tonight: I don't mind paying...

Here is some video I took the day I have my dash cam installed. Sorry, I had to mute the audio in the video because youtube detects a copy write violation because of the background music I was listening to at the time. I also cropped out the text at the bottom with GPS, License Plate, etc...

Karl - The unit stores the video taken in separate files (1 for the front camera and 1 for the back). They are both synchronized, so recording starts/stops for both at the same time. One can configure the video lengths to be 1 - ? minutes each. I have mine set for 1 minute increments as it...

It is done! I had the K1S dash cam system installed in my car today by guys at Best Buy in Liberty. The price was very reasonable too. The unit was $239.95 on Amazon and the install was $221.77 (2 hours labor, materials, parts, tax). I have to say that I am extremely happy with the camera...

So after I sent back the dash cam system, a guy at work was in an accident, and his dash cam saved his butt. An aggressive, road-rage driver hit his car on purpose and then tried to play it off as my coworkers fault. The police offer was going to write it up as a no-fault accident. Problem...

So, the dash cam system came in last week. I was really impressed with the quality of the unit. I'd love to have it installed, but .... I did some more research on how I'd actually install it in the car. Most of the options had me stuffing the cabling in where the side airbags are located...
