    News: CARWINGS and tablet computers, including Android.

    No its not, Flash is DEAD on tablets. It barely worked on Android, and after 2 years of trying Adobe was smart to give up. What a waste to make an account just to lament Adobes smart decision.

    Nissan to offer loaner cars for long distance driving, maybe

    Considering the Leaf costs around $40K, such a program would be peanuts to get people into the Leaf. Lets say up to 15 days a year free rental. $200 or so? peanuts.

    MotorWeek praises Leaf in long term test update!

    Last Sundays MW was all praise for Leaf! :D :D IIRC, they said "8 months of resisting Nissan's calls to get it back, our staff are still hooked to it!". Interview with driver said limited range was not a problem, despite the distances they travel.

    I don't understand the headlights

    Seen a lot of salesman who never study up on product they sell, spew lies, to sell you something (not just EV).

    Hawai'i a perfect place to sell Leaf??

    Considering that Oahu is 64 miles along its farthest axis, and half that from Waikiki to the North Shore (Hal'eiwa), a Leaf seems PERFECT. Price of gas on the islands is almost $1 more then mainland, and although the $/KWh is about $0.32, bottom line still seams cheaper for Leaf. It would...

    Time magazine declares Leaf a flop

    It is a struggle for hearts and minds. Well deserved, when you consider the qualifications for "Man of the Year"

    Nissan to offer loaner cars for long distance driving, maybe

    Second survey to ask this question (copied directly from it): Doesn't mean they will, but seems serious consideration. I would use it however since I need to occasionally go long distance. (Edit, quote box added)

    Equiping a NEW house for EV's

    It's called "Creep". The more the cable moves, the more it "creeps". Real horror story. ;)

    HELP! Direct Hit with a Lighning Strike Today While Charging

    Had a near miss in my 5 month old new house, took out a bunch of stuff, and started a fire (I was able to put out the fire by shutting off the gas line). Least you are safe! Great to read your Leaf is on road again!

    Equiping a NEW house for EV's

    More future proof then getting. Friend is getting house built, and agree to my suggestion to wire for EV. (Doing solar too) Recap: Run conduit and space for breaker and socket. Wire for 240v, 50Amp wire minimum through conduit. Know what the house line is capable of, and increase capacity...

    Equiping a NEW house for EV's

    What should you tell a builder to install in a new-build house in preparation for an EV? I read this post: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=9631" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; So the socket depends largely on the charger one uses? Suggests have box and...

    Review of iPhone/iPad apps

    1/5 for LEAF App. It is an incredibly poorly designed app, garish, dark, slow, and no meaningful updates in almost 2 years (except for account bug fix) so it is more an advertisement for Leaf then useful tool. IMHO simply ADVERTISING for the Leaf. Came out about same time as iAD, the FIRST...
