Good question. My driving requirements will be changing.

Sorry about that. I fixed the title. I also thought everyone could see my location. I am in Phoenix. It is a 2011 with a QC port. I do not have the battery bar problem. Does anyone find it concerning that "supposedly" the highest one sold for at auction was $20k in Florida? This is what...

I have a concern regarding the resale value problem of the Leaf. I bought a brand new $35K Nissan Leaf last November (2011) - out the door price was much more. With less than 10K miles, I was recently only able to get offers ranging from $15K to $19K. The car has never been in an accident...

The main difference is that the Volt battery could go to zero and will NEVER be worthless. Why? Because it has a little backup device called an internal combustion engine and gas tank!!! You will be able to drive the car ~250 miles after the battery goes to zero! As far as the tax credit...

All I know is I made the decision to purchase based on the Leaf expert at Nissan. "this vehicle will do just fine in Phoenix". I trusted that they were the experts on this vehicle and would know more than myself. I don't like to assume anything. Are you reading this thread? I think people...

Thank you. I appreciate the reply and answer to my questions. Another concern that I have is the drastic drop in price for this car. This car has dropped 45% in price after 9 months of ownership and less than 10K miles. the depreciation is worse than the battery life. A car with a full...

I am in Phoenix and only have less than 8000 miles on my car. Luckily I have not experienced the bar loss problem yet. However, I am VERY concerned. I just found this thread and I apologize for not reading all 150 pages, however, I did spend a few hours last night going through quite a bit of...

Thanks for the replies everyone. This has been very helpful. It's nice to know that there are others on here willing to help out. I will definitely make it a point to try and QC at the ECOtality building. Frank

Hello! I'm new to the forum and just got my Nissan Leaf on Oct 31st. I've had it for almost a month and live here in Phoenix. I was wondering if someone could post the link to a map with all the chargers in the Valley? Is there anything? I have Plugshare on my phone, but none of the...

Phil, Interesting. I didn't know that there was such thing as a 208volt, but that would explain the longer charge time. Frank

I was wondering about the 20 amp thing too, so I called Legrand and spoke with their Tech support. They said that it has to have a dedicated 20 amp breaker. Given that I paid $950 total with installation, tax, etc, I am pretty happy that I can charge my car in a fraction of the time than...

I've used this for 2 days now and have been very happy. It appears to use the appropriate standard gauge wire for the internals for 20 amps (I asked the certified electrician to verify). It appears to charge quicker than the charger that I've been using at Nissan. I didn't notice any...

I ordered the Legrand EV level 2 Car Charging station from Home Depot for $650.00 a week ago (regular price $749). It is being installed today. I didn't see a discussion regarding this charger in here after searching, so I thought I'd start one. I'll post how it works after I use it if...

My Leaf replaced a 2011 BMW 135i 6 speed manual.

Hello! I got my new Pearl White Leaf here in Phoenix, AZ on Mon, Oct 31st. I gave up a 300HP 2011 BMW 135i 6 speed manual for this car. It drives a little different, lol, but I prefer the Leaf. Frank
