I have a 2011 Leaf I bought new in May 2011. Just three weeks ago the PTC heater failed (damn Nissan dealer charged $215 to "service" it but then told me Nissan no longer makes the part and couldn't fix it). I know I could just buy another PTC heater from a used Leaf, but how long until that...

Hello, These are probably unrelated, but let me explain why I think they might be. Some background first: My 2011 Leaf, brought home May 31, 2011, had its first 12v service battery replaced under warranty in 2013. About 6 months ago, the car started exhibiting non-start issues, which I knew...

I just can't find the info I need. In 3-4 weeks my Leaf will be here. I opted for a lease, but I will purchase if it is significantly cheaper to do so. I live in Washington. As far as I know, Washington exempts sales tax for purchase of electric vehicles, unless I'm wrong and that maybe...
