Our utility company is starting a new rate plan where they charge less for electricity between 9 pm and 9 am. We are switching to this new plan tomorrow. Is there a way to automatically charge a Leaf at a set time each day (say 9:05 pm)? Or do I need to manually start the charging at off peak...

Weekends are off peak in Colorado under the "time of use" plan. I applied to switch our home to the xcel time of use plan last week - waiting to hear back. If approved it'll start with the next billing cycle. We have a 2016 Leaf which we will charge at night. Basically the plan is: 2-6 pm...

What Denver area dealership(s) have you been getting prices from? I did some preliminary Leaf shopping at Tynan's (Aurora) and Boulder Nissan. I liked Boulder Nissan better, though it is a farther drive from our home (we live in Aurora). We are considering a new Leaf or a new Volt when our...
