Hello All I have been receiving a few emails from the dealership where I bought my 2011 Nissan Leaf. They say because of high demand for this particular model they want to buy it back from me. Anyone else getting these emails? Is there a reason they want this particular model? We are not...

We were given a Clipper Creek for a few months before the Blink was installed. Loved the Clipper Creek, super rugged and dependable and I'd buy one if I needed to replace the Blink or if the Blink wasn't free. We've got the Blink hardwired with CAT5 and it has always worked for us. -u

We are pretty much the same as all the rest on this thread- the Leaf is our number one car and our ICE wagon does long trips or trips when the Leaf is in use. Interestingly, in one of the Leaf or SDGE surveys, for one question, they only gave choices for using the Leaf as much or less than the...

I'd love one of these, count me in. If it is less than $500 I think it would be fair to pay up front because of your tool up costs. If it is more then a 50/50 deposit might be the way to go. As far as suggestions, having the number of digits be variable might be good- different people want...

I'll check my bills. I did see something in November that soaked up some of my credits that I hadn't seen before. We have only one meter for the house and PV. Do you have a separate meter for your car? -u

I was at the CCSE meeting with the BMW rep as well and I was surprised to hear that the lease is only two years, so it doesn't qualify for some of the rebates available for other cars. To me this means I would pay BMW $2,5k down and $500 a month and have nothing to show for my $+14,000 at the...

Mission Valley Mall in San Diego has two of the old style chargers and it would be great if they could upgrade them. Not sure if Westfield is into it, but it is a great location... http://www.westfield.com/missionvalley" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; -u PS, we had the Clipper...

I"m out of town on Feb 25th but will try to make the BMW presentation on the 24th. -john

I just got back from our 1 year service at the dealer where we bought the car. We have 10,900 miles on the car and they did their full inspection for free and washed the car. No upsell for additional services, which I thought was surprising. The service manager was a fan of Leaf's so maybe that...

We have the sunny webbox which works fine and is very easy to access from anywhere on the web. We tried using the TED 5000 but I couldn't find an electrical contractor to install it since it is not approved for installation in San Diego so I returned it. -u

We have a 5kW/hr system. 24 Sanyo HIT panels and a SunnyBoy inverter. We just passed our 2nd year anniversary with solar. Output covers all our home electricity and all our Leaf usage (11,000 miles/yr) and we now get a credit of a couple of hundred dollars for over production. We don't have A/C...

I'll try to make it - Saturday is busy with the kids. I've been wanting to learn more about the SOC meter.... The only upgrade we have is the Katzkin leather seats....

We just picked up our car from the Katzkin installer in San Diego. I have to say we were really impressed with the leather and the installation. Originally we called the dealer to get a price which seemed high, so I ordered the sample book from www.shopSAR.com intending to do it myself. While I...

My wife often does a top up charge in the middle of the day by using the "timer off" button. Later, when the car is returned to the garage, she plugs it in as normal and it does its overnight charge without any problems. On an interesting side note after doing a middle of the charge today, I...

We took our Leaf in last week for the first service. I cringed when the service manager brightly said "Oh great, my first Leaf in for service!" When I picked up the car the worksheet was from a regular ICE vehicle so there wasn't much other than ever other line reading "N/A" I never got the...

Don't forget that if you are located in California, your sales tax from the DMV is calculated on the full price, not including any rebate. The rebates are applied afterwards. The DVM also has a fee calculator. http://dmv.ca.gov/FeeCalculatorWeb/index.jsp -john

When we did our PV system in 2009 we dropped a new 220v 30amp circuit using 12g into the garage for our charger. We had sized it for a dryer since at that time Nissan wasn't saying how big the circuit would have to be. Turns out when the EV Project guys came out in 2010 they dropped a 10 gauge...

Vin 0240, delivered Jan 5 with over 3k miles now. We are running 3NA0A. We don't pre-cool and haven't used the A/C a whole lot. -u

I loved my Clipper Creek that Ecotality took back when they installed my Blink. I asked them if I could buy it so I could install it at our warehouse for the rare but perhaps necessary charge when our Blink dies, but they are using them for another project. Ecotality offered to sell me another...

I"ll try to make it but Saturday's are pretty busy with the kids. I've seen a blue Nissan Leaf at Hazard Center (Friday AM, upper parking lot, Mossy plate holder) and yesterday at the AmVets on Pacific Hwy. We live in Mission Hills, so it is cool to see another Leaf in our neighborhood. We...
