Purchased 2013 Nissan Leaf S. Figured in San Diego we should be okay as far as climate conditions. Also, the california-lead EVSE program & the $7500 credit / $2500 rebate really helped sweeten the deal for us. Thanks to the EVSE charger install, we're driving our leaf about a solid 80-90 miles...

Yeah thats unfortunate. Makes you think they're pulling a random number out of the air. With the California-lead EVSE program, we paid the technician about $370. $150 for the city permit, $50 for obligatory fees to go with that, $100 for the contractor's labor in obtaining the permit, $70 for...

Ah, well we are a bit inland but the car will always be garaged. Good to know though, thanks.

Congrats on your deal! We have almost the exact same situation. I hope your 52 mile commute is always pleasant!

Hmm..well its not usually that cold here in San Diego so I'm hoping that will preserve the battery a bit longer. But thanks for the advice, I'll take a look. Really glad/relieved to hear! We have about the same weather, so I'm hoping for my situation to be identical to yours.

Thank you. The area I'm in is usually moderate. I mean sometimes we see 90°F but usually its typical san diego weather (60°F - 80°F) (Also very similar to LA, as you know). But speaking of "charging to 100%", I have been reading about a lot of people charging to only 80%. Is that because of the...

Amazing. Thank you for that. I'll be sure to pay attention to that detail so he doesn't overcharge me.

Please excuse me for reviving an old thread. This is simply where my search had lead me, and I figured this is a better place to ask this question than to start a new thread. I've gone through most of the pages here. Very useful stuff to know. -- We are getting our stage 2 charging station...

It's been a bit colder than normal here in San Diego (35°F at night, yes I know that's still not "cold" compared to other cities) so I did notice whenever we turned the heater on, we would see a significant loss in charge. Last night I drove about 23 miles at night starting at 55% and ended up...

Glad to hear it's running strong. I live in San Diego as well. I'm hoping the climate conditions here (as it never gets as cold as other cities) helps preserve the battery life a bit longer.

Thanks for your advice! We actually filled the paperwork out at the dealership for the EV charger. They've emailed us earlier today stating confirmation of application and someone would "contact us within 48 hours to set up an appointment for installation". Love this leaf. After driving it a...

Just picked up the 2013 Nissan Leaf S in San Diego, CA (north county: Escondido) Nissan! Except I think our packages relate closely to the next level model. Please excuse me if some of the listed features below aren't necessarily packages and are automatically included in the base model. I'm...
