Can you describe your lease deal in more detail? Do you have to pay tax and title ? Are there any other fees? Thanks.

Any news about when the 2014 Leaf's will be out?

Earth 2013: Gas at 4$ a gallon adjusted for inflation is still cheaper than buying a Leaf or a Tesla. And with shale oil and shale NatGas, the future immediate is very much undetermined. A $100K Tesla or a $30k Leaf, with an overnight charge time, still buys a lot of tankfuls of good old...

So it's back to batteries again as the hold up. With nano and rare earths, graphene research going full blast maybe we'll seen some progress in this area. The good battery tech is probably so tightly classified that it'll be another 50 effin years before anything shows up. By then there'll be...

unresearched question - sorry I know a little about the Leaf, a good little, but nothing about the Tesla. But, focusing on the range issue only. Why is the Tesla about 3 times better? How can it be this much better? This seems like too much to me. And I'm using ~ 100 for leaf and ~ 300 for...

I like this! I would even like it more if it were more utilitarian, more clunky. Like something with a big propane tank, or diesel, or even wood burning. Or better yet, coal.

I think you guys are being too hard on the battery swap idea. If the car and battery were designed from the beginning to be swapped, it could work very easily. And as time and battery technology progress, it would be even better. But in the mean time, how about a towed generator trailer...

Can the quick charge port be added later on by the dealership? Thanks.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could drive into a place and quickly switch out the battery pack for the cost of a charge plus a small fee. This would be engineering! Perhaps something like a drive through car wash, but instead your battery is getting changed out down below, and you drive off...

A little fun here. I know the battery is a gigantic thing integrated into the bottom of the car. But check out this article about battery improvements. With this 'engineered' carbon, it sounds like it might be possible for newer and improved batteries to come into existence while you own...

Oh for heaven's sake I found it immediately. I'm so pessimistic! Nissan LEAF Plug-In Residential EV Charger (Level 2 Plug-In EVSE-RS: 7.2kW, 30A) From AeroVironment

This is kind of a weird question, but maybe someone will know. I want to know what the minimum wattage required to normally power the AV 240v charging station. I know it's 240v, but what kind of amps or watts does the input need to supply. Thanks.

I just retired and my original thought was to try to make my recurring monthly expenses as close to zero as possible. And energy, household electric and car gas fill ups are a rather large number. Most of my driving is around 20 miles round trip. So the Leaf meets all my driving needs...

I'm buying not leasing. These things don't exactly fly off the lot. Less than 1000 a month nationwide. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good deal somewhere. That's all.

So, Ive decided to buy a Leaf. Are there any known dealerships that rock-bottom the price down with discounts and incentives? I'll go anywhere in the country for a good deal. Even having knowledge of a better deal somewhere is a great help. Thanks.

So let me see if I have this right. In B mode, when you let off the accelerator, you begin to harvest electrons through the regenerative system? Yes? Do you get this same thing when not in B mode, only less so, or not at all? I'm wondering about the technique of going to neutral to coast...

Oh, OK. I guess googling it wouldn't have broken my fingers. Thanks, though. I was going to get the basic S, but I don't think I can live without this. You can do a quick check of the battery condition while having your coffee, then plan accordingly.

Uh, yeah, I'm lazy and I'm willing. :D But seriously, I switched to a mouse that recharges inductively. And it's simply more cooler and convenient. And as far as the retrofit. Don't be pessimistic about cleverness. I don't know how big the hardware would need to be for such a link. But I...

This car kind of confuses me. I am now not sure what the B mode for regenerative braking is actually doing. Is it just an intensity type of thing? Or perhaps to say that when B mode is on, you get more regenerative braking, and more reclaimed energy produced? So what does this mean? Is it...

Thanks very much. I did a search for Carwings and found this useful link http://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/versions-specs/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I guess Carwings is what I was asking about, not Leaflink. Now I'm not sure what Leaflink is if anything...
