I like the new look. Just wish it could lock and unlock car remotely.... and program timers remotely. Otherwise works well for me.

I saw this same warning about the possible 2016 demise of Carwings functions when I recently added Leaf 2 to my home fleet. If it is true that T-Mobile is not turning off 2g frequencies or repurposing them or maintaining better backwards compatibility or whatever then that is great news. There...

Horrible news... why we put solar panels on our homes... drive electric... minimize our footprints, etc etc... Vote for politicians that don't want to drill baby drill and involve us in foreign conflicts to get resources. Educate others to overwhelm the Faux nonsense channel.

No just have to remember to refer to code name BOLT as production named EV2... who killed the electric car... and has done little to promote it since... Don't bother with Volt references as it is simply a properly executed Plug in Prius that Toyota biffed by putting too small a battery in. 10...

I plan on attending Sacto this weekend, and Cupertino next saturday for the world record attempt, and then Marin next sunday after I finish a 5k Heart Walk. How about the rest of you folks... bring your EVs and join in.

Once again the dealers are torpedoing the movement. I sincerely hope that Tesla's movement to eliminate these useless middlepersons succeeds.

This debut could be an interesting measure of the success of CHAdeMO quick chargers in the chosen markets. Since one of the big differences this car has with the bulk of the "compliance" models is the CHAdeMO DCQC. If KIA choses to push it and advertise it, this could be a major difference...

++1 Just like last freakin time...

Doesn't the E-NV-200 have the LEAF battery modified to use the AC to cool it? If so this may be implemented along with the new LEAF with larger battery. Makes sense no?

We got an SL and love the BOSE system... though I mostly wanted the solar panel that tops off the 12v Battery. Had read stories about the failure of the 12 v stranding folks. The surprise feature was the all around cameras. I love it and my teenage son really loved it as he tried to learn to...

From my point of view... this whole 90+ pages of debate boils down to "Where can we get the best results the quickest in converting away from the criminal enterprise known as the fossil fuel energy companies?" Fuel Cell vehicles may be viable eventually in 5 to 10 more years... but let the...

Something to remember regarding strange noises... The LEAF is a very quiet car... sounds you'd never notice on a clunky ICEmobile with all the clattering under the hood can be quite pronounced. Apparently the wiper motor had to be replaced as the original in testing was too noisy. As to fit and...

Agree with the poster about the finance person being the creep in dealership... the salesman charms you and then they try to disarm you... The finance person who finished my LEAF purchase... had a creepy little trick of continuing to add the warranty multiple times after I said I absolutely...

Have the BC Ferries added chargers to any of the ships yet? Seems an ideal place to catch a few miles of charging while crossing the straits.

But wouldn't something like an overdrive help with highway range? That is the argument these inventors are claiming.
