I just upgraded to a 2016 LEAF and hate charging to 100%. I leave a car for business in DC and only visit one week a month. I hate that the car might be left soaking at a full charge. It is common knowledge that this is bad for modern battery chemistry and that Nissan removed the feature...

I presume you can get a similar deal on a SL or SV plus the extra cost. This is getting insane. Perhaps we are on the verge of a 40KW 2017 announcement?

I thought there was supposed to be an upgrade modem program this summer. Anyone know what is the latest?

Nissan has demoed this technology for a couple years now. There are units available at least on a test basis. Having back-up power for a home while your car is plugged in is a game changer where the power grid is flaky. When will we see commercial availability of Nissan's LEAF To Home product?

I cannot find the login page anymore, the station map page is dead and my card will not work. Try this link: http://www.geindustrial.com/products/static/ecomagination-electric-vehicles/ and the map page is dead. I tried my access card at the station outside my building and it will not...

I am starting this thread because I think we have a winner! $3.50/hour for a GE WattStation managed by Arden Realty who owns my building where parking is free. Apparently, the landlord can pick the rate and has chosen the highest rate that I have ever seen. There are a couple Blink chargers a...

I came across this on Amazon. It might be a good back-up charger for the car. The price is right. http://www.amazon.com/EVI-Plug--Charger-Portable-Cord/dp/B00D6OGRX6/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1377312198&sr=1-1...

I have a set of the 16" from a 2011. If anyone needs a set, I am selling 4 with snow tires and TPMS sensors. I will not sell individually. Local Denver pick-up unless you want to arrange your own shipping. See: http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/4008100134.html"...

When the Leaf is in regen mode, it pushes kinetic energy back into the battery. LIon batteries have a finite number of cycles that will degrade performance. It stands to reason that constantly drawing energy and putting it back into the battery will accelerate degradation of the battery...

I find myself describing the electric car to folks, but don't have a good way to describe the ICE cars. I don't want to say a "normal" car, because electric is my new normal. ICE means nothing to the average person. In an attempt to coin a term, I a proposing "Smoker" instead of ICE or normal...

Here is a reporter's view from the outside: http://www.kpho.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=8156098 There was a 2013 model in attendance. Here are some photos: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11057&start=100

I tried to PM TimAZ (VIN 00231) to see if there was anything wrong with his car. He was in Phoenix so maybe the battery had capacity loss? At any rate, his old car is for sale in Colorado for $18,500 at a dealership? This is a SL-e and has been up for sale for a while...

I left my car charged to just about 80% for a three week trip. 2-3 days after leaving I checked Carwings to find the battery was completely empty. I am sure I parked it properly and removed the key with the headlights off. Luckily, I was able to get someone at the office to plug it in...

I have probably charged to 100% no more than a handful of times. As I understand things, the Leaf does cell balancing upon reaching 100%. I am not sure how long it takes to perform the cell balancing. Will charging only to 80% cause decreased range and increased wear on the cells in the...

I am buying some winter tires and want to get a second set of rims to ease swapout. Does anyone have a recommendation of rims that are light and reasonably priced? The stock rims are around $275 each, which is too costly. I don't want a set of rims that are heavier than the stock ones and...

In Colorado, power is about 10 cents per Kilowatt hour regardless of the time of day you charge so using the car timer doesn't yield any benefit. As I read the manual, you can only charge to 80% if you are using car timers. The car must be connected to the charger when the timer triggers to...

I just spoke with Nissan customer support and they said that the last 2011 order will be taken on Friday. You should wait for Saturday if you want a 2012 model. Pricing for the 2012 was not known. It seems the 2012 will have the cold weather package standard along with the quick charge port...

Perette Godwin of the Fox affiliate in San Diego would like to do a walk-through of a Leaf today and interview the leaf owner on their experiences. Please call her directly at 858-354-2065 if you are around and up for this.

I was leaving town for 10 days so dropped my Leaf off at the dealership. They have it detailed and on the showroom floor if anyone wants to check it out. I am back Sunday night 2/13 so the clock is ticking if you want to see one in the flesh. It didn't seem right to park it at the airport...
