Only 8,000 miles on the clock so far .... a 2015 base model. Only 10 months of ownership since purchasing new. Negotiated price down. Then $7,500 from feds (what a scam), $2,500 from the Great State of Texas (unbelievable), and $3,500 from Nissan for the no interest loan (dude!). Daily...

+1 on the Starbucks locations. Lots of 'em, easy to find, wifi and coffee. So, you also have a great excuse to hang around and charge a couple of hours. Just swipe your Starbucks "frequent flyer" card. Free electricity for 2 hours if you reach "gold level" on your card. Man .... I can...

Nahinman, Yes ! I received my $2,500 check from the great State of Texas. The check arrived in the mail mid-January and I had sent in my submittal the last day or so of October. I needed to re-submit one of the documents in mid-November after getting a letter telling me about the...

I will keep it simple. The ultimate end production (wattage at 120v) I get out of my panels equals approximately 50% of the panels rating. Panels - controller - battery bank - inverter - 120v outlet. All copper wire is well oversized. I estimate my total losses for the copper are under 5%...

As before (and after) the new grounding rod installation, the neutral and the ground are bonded at the main electrical panel. Another tip for those who may follow - - - the car seems happier with an additional 75 to 100 watt load being applied to the system while it is charging. I just plug in...

Problem Solved - - - - Many thanks for the feedback. I pounded a new grounding rod (8 ft copper) and connected properly to the source (inverter) and also into the circuit breaker panel per code. Apparently, this upgrade vs. just grounding through the welded metal hangar satisfied the...

The application paperwork here in Texas was fairly straight forward. Easily accessed on-line, printed and they did a decent job explaining what is needed and how it all works. Got it all in the mail about 2 weeks ago (purchased a Leaf in late October). Received my return-receipt-requested...

Many thanks to the team for all the responses. Here is the info on my inverter, and my planned next step: - - INVERTER INFO: xantrex DR series Inverter / Charger, Model DR2412, Max continuous 2400 watts, Max continuous AC output current 20 amps, Max AC output overcurrent...

This has been GREAT feedback for a potential new owner. Keep it up, team! As far as my new red 2015 "S" model (I may have stated SV in error) and the comments made: - totally agree - - let's see how that battery pack is doing in a couple of years .... - 58 mile RT with no charging is a lot...

New (red) 2015 Leaf purchased in October - - only 600 miles driven so far. A fun car (aka toy). My daily round trip commute is 58 miles, with no charging at the far end. Fill up at night with the 120v. Gage will say about 95 to 105 miles when topped off in the garage in the morning. No...

I have installed and operated a stand alone system since 2006, designed to provide lights, tools, fans and air conditioning. It works well and located at my airport hangar. I am off the grid. My 2015 Leaf has only the 120v cord that came with the car. I calculate that my fully charged (from...
