    How is Leaf on snowy hills

    I live in Kingston ON Canada now but have lived across Canada including both coasts and central/northern areas. I grew up in Manitoba just north of you. The only province that has mandatory snow tire regulations is Quebec. However, most everyone who drives 2-wheel drive cars in winter...

    Why do we still confuse KW and KWH?

    Apologies for my use of a hyphen incorrectly. I don't wish to offend with a grammatical error. I'm simply looking at it as the power companies do when billing you. Their billing statements charge you per Kilowatt hour, however they list it, whether it be KWh, kWh. They monitor the voltage they...

    Why do we still confuse KW and KWH?

    I'm a newbie to Leaf ownership and this forum so I have not read all the connected streams. However, I really like this thread and will chime in my 2 cents. The discussion of Kw and Kw/h sometimes is 'the cart before the horse' and I find it easier to understand when it's approached as an...

So far...

    Nissan Connect on 2016 leaf import to Canada from the US

    I'm in a similar situation. I just bought a 2015 SL that was a previous US import so Carwings or Nissan Connect does not work. The local Nissan dealer where I am in Ontario seems to think a fix in in the works as there are lots (hundreds) of Leafs being imported into Quebec by dealers. The...

    Apparently the Leaf is not a big seller in the US these days

    Ontario (which has a large percentage of the Canadian urban population) had a change of provincial government last year which immediately cut the rebate program for new cars (Hybrid - $7000, Full EV - $14,000). That put a damper on the national sales numbers.
