I would like to know if anyone got anything in the mail or call from Nissan on the details of this program. Is there any update on how or when we can sign up for this? They said it will happen first half of 2014? It is June 2014 already...

Do I need to park at the EV spot to get free parking? For myself, I really don't need to charge my Leaf if I leave my car at the parking lot, I live like 10 miles from there. Last time left my car at Lot 6 for 7 days at a regular spot when I was in Hawaii for vacation. Came back, and drove off...

Question for Leaf owners who have installed Torklift EcoHitch: Do any of you noticed any difference with the range of the car? Seems like if I need to install this hitch, there will be some sort of cut out from the plastic cover at the underside of the rear part of the car. I assume that...

That's a good idea! I might actually start doing that too! 8-)

Good analogy. I almost forgot about that. Been long time since last time I stopped at the gas station. :lol: Last time I parked my Leaf at a pump during that Megamillion Lottery madness. Cashier of that gas station gave me a dirty look and I was getting the lottery ticket. :oops:

I usually will move my car when I got the txt message from Carwings upon charging completion. I feel bad on taking up the spot. I always image someone with turtle mode and barely makes it to the station and found out none is available. :lol: (and I certainly don't want that happen to me, ;) )...

Nice, can't wait for this product goes on sale!

I see that on my system also. Click on those "messages", completely silent.... I want to delete it

So, I ordered this Charging Port Cover from a website about two weeks ago http://www.japanparts.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just got my package from USPS today by EMS. The total cost for my order was 25,885 Yen (shipped) to Los Angeles. The installation and user guide...

Is this cover officially selling in the US?

I believe those brackets come with the "lock". Since it is an optional item, I don't think even the JDM version has those brackets installed on the basic setup. FYI: My Leaf does not have those orange brackets

Meanwhile, anyone interested in the charge port lock can refer to the video below: http://eyevio.jp/movie/420195" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; When the webpage comes out, in the middle of the page (kinda like embedded Youtube video), it will be the video, click on the "Orange"...

The first link is a video on how's the charge port lock works. When the webpage comes out, in the middle of the page, it will be the video, click on the "Orange" button, and the video will start and show you how that "Nissan JPN factory optional" charge port lock work sorry for the confusion...

Yeah, seems like they have no clue for Nissan USA neither. I tried to call the 877 number and I ask the lady on the phone if she can file some sort of request for me. She said I have to call my dealer. :roll: The logic is just silly IMO, if I actually asked the dealer in US, they gonna call...

Thanks for the effort. I also tried to ask one of these Internet JDM parts vendor to see if I can get one from them.
