Hey ya'll. Long time off and on member of the forums. Originally owned a 2011 LEAF SL CW + QC. 3 Year Lease came up this month and moved into a 2015 LEAF SL. I am happy to announce that in my first week (and second charge) of driving the new car I am now a member of the 100 Mile Club. I...

I'd totally be in for that rear center console/armrest, and if they sold the smaller rear headrests I'd get a pair of those too! Nissan USA needs to step it up on the accessories especially considering not just the UK offerings, but what Japan has got available as well!

Yup, had my LEAF for two weeks now and it's got the Cold Weather package. It's certainly nice, although IDK if I will run into problems when I go around to getting some seat covers? The heated steering wheel feels really nice too! Looks like your LEAF will literally be the last of the 2011's?

With all this excitement surround the DC Fast Charger at Freddy's in Hollywood District I had to go check it out! I'm here right now charging up to 80%. I also thought that it was pretty cool that you could select in increments of 10% your desired charge level and could potentially go to 90% or...

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking about that, just taking 99E as soon as arriving to Oregon City. That might make more sense and then just drive all the way to Albany or Corvallis. I'm finding that its far more effective/efficient/healthier to charge the lower % of the battery rather than trying to...

Hey Group! Got my LEAF last week (2011 Black SL CW) from Ivan out at Gresham Nissan, great guy and was very patient with me throughout the whole sales process! Anyways, I was wondering if anybody has devised an ideal route for a trip from Portland to Eugene? I'm trying to plan it out and...

Wondering how the lease, 90 day wait, then buy panned out? I'm thinking about doing the same thing. When they calculate the buyout costs is it just: (LEAF Residual + $300 purchase option + PV of Outstanding Lease Payments Balance)? My plan is to Lease my LEAF, put $2K down, make payments for...

If you were going down a hill, would you still want to shift into ECO? I know after driving an automatic ICE for years that when I go down a hill I shift it into "2" and turn off the "overdrive". This takes the pressure off the breaks, and makes your engine do the work to slow down. How does...

Also, two new Blink's at the Clackamas Promenade outside Kohl's! According to the BlinkNetwork website and app, they appear fully operational.

Mine has the Cold Weather package too! Guess we're twins! Mine is Black, should be at the dealer any day now...

Is removal/reinsertion of headrests an easy thing? I will totally be doing that if it is!

Sorry in advance if this was buried in this thread already somewhere, Anyways, was wondering if we need to notify PGE of an upcoming vehicle purchase and charger installation? I just switched to the time of use rate plan, but I wasn't sure if there was anything else that I should do.

Yeah, the only thing that annoys me is that my survey from ETEC (actually Cherry City Electric) for the Blink EVSE was just done earlier this week, mostly because at the time of my scheduling my LEAF wasn't due until the end of the month. Hopefully they've got a decent turn around time to...

Mine has swung from Week of Sept 30th to Week of Sept 23rd to Week of Sept 20th, we'll see what it updates to next?! My rep @ the dealership has yet to reach out to me though... :/

Delivery set for Week of September 28th! Hey Blackhouse, which dealer in Portland are you using? Mine is with Gresham Nissan/Subaru.
