    Loud clunking in reverse - help !

    Our 2013 SL is garage kept. It has about 25k miles. Most mornings when I back it out of the garage there is a loud clunk, clunk, clunk from the back of the car. Loud. And occasionally a metallic grinding like a worn out brake pad. It never does it the rest of the day. I have had the car...

    Passengers effecting range ?

    My wife and I would like to take a couple of friends on a country drive we have done before. By adding the weight of two additional passengers ( approx. 350 pounds) how noticeably will this extra weight effect our range ? Any guesses ?

    Charging a warm battery ?

    On arriving home we automatically plug in the Leaf. This of course is convenient. Now I just read in our manual that it is better for the battery to let it cool before charging which requires going back out to the garage. Is letting the battery "cool down" before charging important ?

    Guess O Meter question

    We have a 2013 SL with 4000 km on it. Great car so far but I have a question. After a 100 % charge the Guess O Meter reads between 145 and 147, never higher. At 80 % charge we get about 117 kms. From what I have read I think this is low. What should it read ? What does yours read ?

    Nearest charger = useless

    I live near Victoria BC on the Saanich Peninsula. Between where I live and Victoria there are perhaps 10 level 2 public charging stations. The problem is that a shorter distance across an inlet of ocean there are charging stations that are closer as the crow flies ( but my Leaf doesn't fly ...

    Question : deleting charging stations possible ?

    When I do a search for " nearby " charging stations I get ones that are across an inlet of the ocean from where we live. They might be close in distance but they are a couple of hours away by driving or by ferry. So they are irrelevant. Can I somehow delete these ?

    My first charge

    Newby charging question

    My 2013 Leaf SL arrives shortly and I have a charging question. I will have a Level 2 charger in my garage. Many of our trips will be 20 km or less. What is better for the long term health of the battery : plug it in all the time the car is at home ? or let it run down somewhat after a few...

    Canada : 2013 availability and price

    i'm wanting to purchase a 2013 Leaf but can't get any firm delivery dates. I wonder if there will be rationing of cars this year and if this effects the price. If there is limited selection and a long wait for delivery I may look at a Prius instead. I assume if there is more demand than...

    2014 Leaf

    So on the Nissan Canada website it mentions that dealers will start registering people wanting to order a 2013 model in late August. Presumably delivery would be September or later (anyone heard more ? ) which begs the question - how soon after will the 2014 models be available and will there...

I have a couple of friends who say that the carbon footprint for the build of a Leaf outweighs all the benefits gained...
