Any other Jacksonville, FL Leaf owners?

Hi,

Would there be any other Jacksonville, FL Leaf owners on here?

It would be fun to meet up now that I have had mine for better part of this year. Also, would love to compare noises to make sure what I am hearing is normal, haha.

2014 Leaf S, purchased used in March 2017.

Not in Jacksonville, but a few miles south in Ormond Beach. I have had my 2015 Leaf for a little over a month. So far, so good. One of the planned uses I have for the Leaf is to run an inverter in the event of a power outage. 2 hurricanes in 2 years convinced me that power outages of 3 - 4 days need more than just coolers with ice. I don't want to get a gas generator, and I plan to use the Leaf to power a small refrigerator and some lights. From what I have read here, it should work.

Cool to hear tziegler. I also have been researching hooking up an inverter to my Leaf. This one is top of my list:

Seems like it would work great from info on this forum. I do have an old gas generator donated from family that I used in the most recent hurricane. I could tell that the quality of sine wave was poor though, def not a pure sine wave. Hooked up a small microwave and it ran but it was not happy about it.

I'm thinking a pure sine wave inverter might do the trick. Public chargers in the area were up and running just fine last hurricane. If that happens again I could go charge and bring the juice back to my house to run essential things with the inverter.

cheers!
