Have been on various waiting lists with local dealers as well as Nissan Canada for about a year for the leaf. got my "invite" to register online to hold a vehicle several weeks ago when everyone else in Canada did. Logged in, followed all the steps, picked the car , completed they surveys...

Two eco-sloths "race" each other - priceless ! :)

which picture? there are 147 of them.

Hope you dont have to eat those words!

Really? I own a gen2 prius - IN fact I was on the waiting list to buy it when it came out and it's the vehicle I am trading on the leaf -you sure picked the wrong car as your example oh the real irony!!! :lol: - and my prius has been extremely consistent in both its economy and it's...

That list of requirements would be like telling someone they could not buy an HDTV or a microwave - "just because"

Hi, New here - first post ... I've been watching the site for a while. I'm on the waiting list for a leaf, and I happen to be an electrician. I've been planning my install for a charging dock and observed with extreme curiosity the "Electrical Capacity Requirements" listed on page 50 of the...
