I was looking on amazon to see what a level 1 charger costs, if mine were to get stolen charging it out the window. you can buy a 15 amp 120v connector for only 100 bucks compared to the nissan one which is only 12 amps for 400. would i be able to use this 15 amp cable on the spark ev or the...

I was checking leaf prices again on carmax and wanted your opinion. the 2012 leaf can be bought all day in the 12's and 13's, but the 2013 leafs are selling for 19k to 20k. thats a big difference for 1 year. i remember someone here saying dont buy anything before 2013. is this perception widely...

I was reading this article: http://motorburn.com/2014/01/12-of-the-most-aerodynamic-cars-in-production-right-now/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which says the xl1 is the most aerodynamic car. with all the talk about ev's being ugly. this car is beautiful. why cant they make this...

I was reading today about a rusted out car that sold for 1.9 million. this family sold his dads collection from decades ago. anyway, the article states that this car will cost another million to restore.its a 1949 talbot lago. Since these cars dont exist anymore, wouldnt making new parts for the...

What is wrong with a ev that goes 150 miles. That is a game changer. It doesnt have to be 200 miles. Thats overkill if the price difference is substantial. Why cant they shoot for a small 4 door car that gets 150 miles and zero to 60 in 6 seconds. You make that and you have a mass market car...

Do you guys know why the 2012 focus which doesnt have a qc is selling in the 15's but the 2012 sl with qc is selling in the 12's. is the focus a better electric car all around.

well, there has been some discussions about what a 2011 leaf will sell for when the car gets close or passes the 60k miles which ends the capacity warranty. Well, i found one that was close and its not good. 9900 from a reputable dealer, and thats before negotiating. here is the listing...

I was looking at a article when the 2012 leaf SL came out. The msrp was 37,250. After the 7500 rebate and negotiation, it sold for around 29,500. The one at carmax im looking at cost 13,500. That is a 16k loss. Thats over 50% loss in three years. It looks like a used one is one hell of a deal...

need help guys. If you could choose between a 2012 leaf SL,QC,30k miles for 13,500 or a 2014 chevy spark ev, 1800 miles, no QC, for 16,200, which one would you choose.

I uncovered a very interesting trend on the leaf at the carmax website that i would like a opinion on. Carmax is a real convenient way to buy a used car, but have always been more expensive than buying from a private owner. If you check the kbb private party value of a car at carmax, they are...

The prius gets about 50 mpg. If they ever get that technology to the point you can get 80 or 90 mpg, would electric cars die. i dont know how doable that is though.

Need help guys. I plan on buying a Leaf in Cali and shipping it to Vegas. I plan on doing most of my charging for free at the casinos. When desperate, I can charge it from a 110 socket in my apartment, and leave the car outside the apt.My question is this, does the level 2 charger already have...

Why is it bad if you charge it at 100%, and then leave it idle for a day or 2. What happens to the battery.

I am looking at a 2011 nissan leaf SL with 28k miles in cali to ship to vegas. the kbb value for those specs are 12k fair and 13k good. people are asking high 14k or in the 15's. why are private owners clueless about what this car is worth. you can buy a new one after the 7500 for 20k. its seems...

Saturday at Sundance Elio will release their prototype 4, which should be pretty close to what it will look like when it goes into production. This is the picture of what its supposed to look like. What do you guys think about a 55 hp 1200 pound car. Can it still be pretty quick and safe...

I did my first electric car test drive at the CES convention in Vegas. It was the BMW i3, and WOW! is all I can say. Does the Leaf have the same pick up for those that have driven both. The car just flew off the line when I pressed the pedal, and when I took my foot off the pedal, it came to a...

There is a 3 wheel car that is going into production in dec 2014 for 6800.00. it gets 84mpg highway and 49 in the city. do you think this will hurt leaf sales or electric cars in general. The car looks fun. it's made mostly for 1 person. although, there is a second seat behind the driver, if you...

I read a article this morning on yahoo that the leaf will have the worst resale after 3 years. it does mention if the 7500 was accounted for it would hold 50% after 3 years. anyway, they said after 3 years the car would be worth about 10,500. Since next month is 3 years, i went to kbb.com and...

Can someone explain how the spark ev has about the same amount of torque as a porsche. I know electric doesnt waste power like gas but the leaf doesnt get that amount of torque or the other small electric cars. is the car really light compared to the fit and leaf. what gives.

Isn't this 100 a month battery lease going to be a boom for people buying used. If you bought new, then you lost alot of money, but wont there be a huge market for 5 year old leafs that havent had the battery replaced yet. if you can pick up a 5 year old leaf for 5/6k, and then pay 100 a month...
