With the various problems that have arisen recently, particularly battery killing cabin heat in winter or desert heat in summer and potential knowledge of what's coming for 2013, what is a 2012 worth to you today? For me about $4k off current MSRP. I'd guess that being in MN it'd be worth less...

They've actually been doing stuff here since late last year and in January had 4 Leaf's running around city streets. They also use a cold weather proving ground in northern MN occasionally. http://www.startribune.com/business/155534675.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For some of us, the benefits of efficiency of electric vehicles is somewhat offset by the production and disposal of batteries and with many estimates that Leaf batteries will need to be replaced after five to seven years. To what extent can these batteries be rebuilt and reused? Most of what...

There are 15 Nissan dealers within a single charge drive of my house. To me it's a simple choice of lowest price. As far as I know none have a better Leaf than any of the others (though one did say he could get factory leather on a 2012 :-), I'm paying cash so financing is a non-issue, I...

Rumors spreading that the MY 2014 LEAF will have a bit better battery and a lower price. If you were planning a 2012 or 2013 LEAF purchase, will this cause you to wait? If you were planning a 2012 or 2013 competitor purchase will this rumor cause you to wait?

Interesting article on a couple of levels: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/11/07/chevy-tells-dealers-to-sell-their-volt-demos/?test=faces" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Given my experience with TomTom I'd love to have one of these in my LEAF (as soon as they open Tier 452 (MN) or I buy a BMW or Audi or Mitsu after getting tired of waiting). http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/tomtom-announces-z-e-live-navigation-system-to-measure-ev-batte/"...

A friend and I were talking today. His company has been tracking battery life in their laptops for several years (approx 28,000 laptops currently in use so pretty good data). No batteries are lasting more than 3 years, less than 50% of those purchased 2 years ago are still useful. Currently...

Interesting article on the front page of today's strib. Basically they're saying that Mpls / St Paul and other cities are putting the charging stations in ahead to entice vehicle mfr's to sell EV's here. http://www.startribune.com/local/116087794.html

Has anyone done a cost/benefit analysis of a Leaf as a second/alternate car to a gas guzzler SUV that's needed occasionally for hauling stuff or trudging through snowstorms? My calc's for ICE consistently said a second vehicle wouldn't be cost effective. Leaf is coming up on the losing side...

Very interesting for those of us in the tundra. Anyone know if we can expect the same from a Leaf? http://www.plugincars.com/electric-car-owner-challenges-washington-post-ev-critic-106755.html
