I recently replaced my 12V battery for the first time on my 2011 LEAF, and I had the telematics upgrade done last December. After changing the battery I started receiving the charge complete notifications again, and can access the car's status via the Nissan app. However, I now get plug-in...

Hey folks, this just surprised me! I sold a Leaf QR Hitch to a customer in Australia and I was quite surprised to learn that the Aussie market Leaf comes equipped with a spare tire!! It has no plastic diffuser cover over that area so the spare tire is readily accessible. Here are some pics he...

That's what Car and Driver just attempted to do, by only swapping tires and measuring on a skid pad: http://youtu.be/tOIAk8TA6b4 http://youtu.be/tOIAk8TA6b4 I remember putting used race tires on my spongy suspension street car back in college just for fun. The car became a handful since the...

Are those new? I was at the outlet mall last Sept. and looked for EVSEs... [MOD NOTE: Thread split from Vacaville L3 Chargepoint thread]

9-19-2017 edit: Unfortunately I'm no longer producing this hitch and they're all sold out. If you need replacement parts or other assistance, send me a PM! This started in the long "Bike Rack" thread, but I'm moving over here. [2/18/13 edit: fixed video link above. Note: this video is of the...

These new rules look great. Why am I not surprised to see Rep. Issa mentioned here as challenging them? http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_19821240

I just heard that Carlos Ghosn was going to be on NPR's All Things Considered today. The audio should be available HERE after the show. Bill

One of these cartoons (the first one) was printed and posted on my cube by a coworker and I thought I'd share them with you all. Enjoy! :lol:

I've split this off from mwalsh's LAX thread. News reports show that OAK has installed a bunch of Coulomb chargers in their Premier parking lot that are free to use: http://www.cleanfleetreport.com/electric-vehicles/charging-electric-vehicles/oak-charging-electric-cars/ Unfortunately, they are...

I was under the back of the leaf with the cover off today (for something I'm working on) and found the parking brake actuator system interesting. I was surprised that Nissan used a two cable actuator. Here's an annotated picture for your amusement:

So, I dropped my carpool friends off after work in the parking lot, and decide to fool around with the traction control off. I pull a J-turn and of course my friends say "Do that again and I'll video you!" I'm happy to oblige... Two more times to get the video right, and two folks come out of...

Hi gang, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for searching out charging stations... on My wife is working at Genentech these days and her round trip commute is ~62 miles. She can make this with 16-18 Nissan miles to spare, but tomorrow she needs to go to the dentist first tomorrow, and...

Stealing the subject line from Monty Python seemed appropriate here, as after my first weekend of owning the Leaf I noticed one thing in particular: It's a lot of fun to grow those efficiency trees...and then hack them down with some completely inefficient driving!! :twisted: I'm already...
