I plug it in, the charging timer is properly set, everything seems to be fine. The charging light (the blue one on the car) blinks a few times, then it makes the sound it usually makes when it stops charging. And it stops charging after just a few seconds when it should be charging for 3...

I walked into the garage to run a quick errand in one of the ICE cars when I noticed the Leaf was not charging this morning when it was supposed to be. Something's off, my spidey senses tell me. I get in the car and the security indicator light (red warning light with a key inside) is lit up...

http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-electric-vehicle-sales-20140903-story.html Punny title aside, I wonder just how true this is. Tesla's Model X is coming out next year & Nissan Leaf 2.0 will follow that. The market may be slightly stagnant, but new models are coming out soon...

Okay, that title may be a bit harsh. I charge at a private workplace that is apparently managed by a property management company. I stopped in early this morning to charge and left the car before heading to the office. I had to head over to another office right next to where I parked the car...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VcGxOpDa1s&feature=share&list=UU-4FgtSEuSInqZ_F10eg4vw This occurred back on October 24. A great moment in the life of our Leaf! It's at almost 34k now, I think.

Wonder what happened to this Leaf. Anyone here wanna buy it? :) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2011-Nissan-Leaf-SL-Damaged-Rebuilder-RUNS-All-Electric-Only-19K-Miles-L-K-/200899886842?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2ec690fefa

http://www.woai.com/content/news/newslinks/story/Should-electric-cars-be-louder/oCYhMBREfEK0568gBn0vkg.cspx I absolutely didn't expect to see an article on electric cars in my local news, but here it is. Should electric cars be quieter? Or should cyclists & pedestrians pay more attention?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Call-Maurice-Walker-901-598-5377-/170939473435?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item27ccc95e1b This black 17.5k-mile Leaf in Memphis with all its bars remaining made me think: what's the highest-mileage Leaf with all bars remaining and where is it? I'm guessing Oregon or...

Have you California Leafers noticed the massive spike in gasoline prices in California this week? What did you guys think as you tooled around in your electric cars?

How many of y'all use just your garage wall outlets? Does this work for you 100% of the time? How many miles is your daily commute? How many more miles would you drive on side trips throughout the day, generally? What's the lowest you've ever seen on your range counter? Just wondering...

How often should you rotate the tires on the Bridgestone Ecopias? How often have you been rotating them? Thanks in advance.

So I love the National Motorists' Association because they're against speed traps and red-light cameras and all that revenue-generating punk garbage that harms innocent motorists who are simply driving at an appropriate rate for the design and condition of the road. However, their so-called...

Has anyone put on some serious window tint on their Nissan Leaf? How much did it cost? Do you feel a noticeable difference with the in-cabin environment? The Texas heat is right around the corner & we want to put some tint on our Leaf. We want to use a place we used for our Subaru 4 years...

So my iPod Touch got stolen yesterday in the East Austin ghetto out of my friend's car by a scumbag smack junkie. Now, I realize that this P.O.S. moron may not be able to figure things out due to my iPod being in Russian & the Nissan Leaf app in the middle of a lot of other apps, but I still...

It's too late. We've gone past the tipping point. *imbibes dangerous amount of vodka naked* http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/shock-as-retreat-of-arctic-sea-ice-releases-deadly-greenhouse-gas-6276134.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We just had a massive thunderstorm here in the San Antonio area and apparently a bit of hail fell down. Has anyone had their Leaf damaged by hail? What happened? How was the damage? I'm so worried. I haven't seen the car yet, so I don't know what's up, but I am worried. 2,700 miles on it...
