Today is the hottest day in Tucson since I've owned my LEAF for three months. Usually the battery temperature gauge has 6 bars when the temperature has been in the mid-90's. I just got home from driving for about 30 minutes through city traffic and it is 109 degrees. I am pleased to report...

Tucson is known for its frequent lightning strikes during our monsoon season - July through September. Our place has been hit several times in the past 15 years. Should we unplug our LEAF from the charger during lighting rain storms?

Hello, LEAF Owners or those of you waiting for your LEAFs, I'm taking a chance here to just schedule a breakfast gathering and see how many will show up. June 18 - Saturday 9:30 - 11:00 am The Good Egg - 7981 E SPEEDWAY Parking is tight next to the restaurant. Let's park in a row...

I've driven my 22 mile commute for twenty years. I have 8 more days until I retire. I've driven over 168,000 miles on this commute over the twenty years without an accident. Today it almost happened. I was driving about 48 mph in left lane of the three lanes going east. A large white car...

Yesterday, I had my LEAF at the Green Fest in Tucson. I was to represent a LEAF owner. My PD had another LEAF next to mine to show people and to allow people to get in, etc. I was talking to a couple of people and turned to find a family with four young kids getting in the front passenger...

This Saturday, April 2, Bookmans is sponsoring Green Fest on North Campbell, just south of River Road at the Tucson Village Farm - from 10 am to 2 pm. There will be over 25 vendors of green products and demonstrations...

I've only had my LEAF five days, but it was time to check out its climbing ability and regeneration powers. The Mt. Lemmon Highway, in northeast Tucson, takes you from the desert in the valley up to Ponderosa pine forests with snow in the winter. The total distance is 25 miles. I only went...

Has anyone posted step-by-step instructions on how to load music files (from iTunes - iMac) onto a flash drive? I'm a novice in this sort of thing so would need lots of help. If its not already posted, would someone please do this. Thanks.

As many of you are aware, my Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, was shot this morning at a "Congressperson on a Corner" event in front of a Safeway grocery. The numbers keep changing, but as many as 19 people were also shot. Gabby Giffords is in critical condition after surgery, but we are...

The auto carrier, Phoenix, has been docked at Opama for a couple days now. Its previous itinerary shows several trips back and forth to Kobe, Japan. Any ideas why? Could it be loading up the next group of U.S. LEAFs...

Does anyone have a direct link to the EPA site that states their ratings of the LEAF done in late November. I found it on many blogs, but need the direct EPA info. My credit union uses the EPA's Green Vehicle Guide at...

At the Electric Drive Tour yesterday in Tucson I spent about 20 minutes in and around the stationary LEAF looking at things. I noticed that the interior door handles that you use to close the doors are made of the light grey fabric, like the seats. :cry: Needless to say, they were already...

We just left the Phoenix-Tempe electric tour and saw the LEAF for the first time. It is wonderful, even fabulous!! The tour guide (the shorter one) told us that the manual will be available online on December 16. He said he is asked when it will be available dozens of times a day and it glad...

Every time we see one of those car commercials with a big, red bow on the roof of the new car in the driveway, I tell my partner, "That's what I want for Christmas, my LEAF in the driveway with one of those big bows." I don't think it's going to happen. But, here is what I have asked Santa...

Yes, I'm in Tucson, a desert in more ways than one. I have not seen, touched, or smelled an actual LEAF yet. We're drying up over here. Please give us any information or photos from the LA Auto Show about the LEAF or other electric vehicles. I even toyed with the idea of the two of us...

Take a look at the article by Alan Boyle, science editor from MSNBC. He was given a LEAF for a while to test drive. Be sure to read to the bottom of the article to find out what will happening to the LEAF test models. Not again...

Some of you asked for photos of our new solar panels. Here is a link to a blogspot I did about the installation. http://randdsrayhome.blogspot.com/ The county inspector has signed off his approval. We are waiting for the electric company to install the meter that will record our production...

Solar panel people are installing inverter, etc. right now. I asked them about also installing a 110 outlet in the garage for the trickle charge in case the Blink charger is not working. Can anyone tell me how many amps this designated 110 outlet needs to be? Thanks.
