Excellent program! Thanks for posting.

I found this is interesting. I and a couple of friends posted pointers to the "Myths And Facts About Electric Cars" article on several conservative blogs and also on a few appropriate YouTube channels. (You can't post a URL on YouTube, so we told them how to locate the article through search)...

That is a very good read. Thanks for posting. Chris Paine needs to do a third documentary, "How the Ring Wing is Trying to Kill the Electric Car".

Thanks GroundLoop, this is great! Sorry to be a pest, but what does "Only F+H" mean?

When we had our EVSE installed SDG&E installed a meter on that circuit and swapped out our primary meter with a GE kV2c+L2 Multifunction Meter. So we just had a PV system installed and they've reprogrammed that meter for net metering. Now I can't figure out how to read it. I've looked all over...

Today's NYT's automobile section has an article on the gasoline shortages in some of the towns most severely impacted by the tsunami. Thought you all might be interested in it. The first two paragraphs read: get it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/automobiles/08JAPAN.html?_r=1

You may want to have a look at IRS Form 8936. It asks for the date the vehicle was "placed in service" not the date you handed your check to your dealer.

Likely, but in this case "sales in" is the same as "sales out" because all of the LEAFs presently being produced are presold, so they don't sit in dealer inventory.

I notice the PR says there were 27 selling days in December 2010.

Nissan North America are reporting today they sold 19 LEAFs in December 2010. I'm going to guess omkar, on New Years Day, was #20! The press release is here. The sales chart with a break out by vehicle sold in NA is on the left of that page. All of the 19 NA LEAF sales would have been US.

Mossy Nissan Escondido (at the 78 and the 15) have EVSEs available for the public. They are receiving a Federal tax credit for the EVSEs, so you shouldn't feel like you are taking advantage of them by using their stations. I would call ahead of time because if they get a transporter of LEAFs in...

WARNING - This article is so delusional, even for Fox News, that it may cause you to throw up in your mouth... Reader Discretion Is Advised. Click here for the Fox News delusional rant,"The 6 Myths About Oil". I wonder if this "fine reporting" was sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute?

That sounds right. Appears it's showing the LEAF can withstand a 40mph crash with no damage to the battery pack. What velocity is attained for the standardized insurance crash tests?

I suspect it's a 40mph crash test, similar to what evnow has posted. http://img291.imageshack.us/f/leafsafety.png/

Here's an interesting video of the crashing testing of the Nissan LEAF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePS3wxrc-Xc
