About once or twice a year I've been known to be under so much stress that I forget to plug in my LEAF and with a 70 mi round trip commute this is tragic! So I used to rely on NissanConnectEV/CARWINGS to send me plug in reminders via text message if I forget to plug in. The reminder I need is...

Guys, over the weekend I lost my first capacity bar. I have a 2012 which I've been driving since 2 November 2011, or just under 20 months and about 31,250 miles at the time of loss. Anyone on the East Coast or with a 2012 also lose a bar yet? Am I the first? As I need 70 mi per day get to...

I'm planning to do a long vacation in the UK and would like to rent a Nissan LEAF (or Mitsubishi iMiev but not like those are renting) but I see Europcar is only renting the LEAF by the hour in the environs of London. Am I just too ahead of the curve? I mean, once you drop gas you want it to last.

I just read through this thread about hacking the CHAdeMO and wonder if anyone has consider as the new handle may be much cheaper and as we understand the communication protocol better would it be practical to get a roll of Photovoltaic and just plug it in via DC-DC conversion on CHAdeMO or with...

As I mentioned in the http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5340 thread, I often find it sometimes takes 2 clicks, sometimes 3 to put my LEAF in ECO and it's hard to see the display below the steering wheel. I suggest the following very simple change. The LED that lights when you...

Shut up #CO2Fre! I've been driving to/from work for almost an hour now and I'm like 2 mi from my office/home! Stop taunting me with a pot of tea since the recent firmware update. I'd love to have a break so let me just get to home/work and park so I can. I mean, my daily commute is 36 mi...

July 2011 Nissan LEAF Orders

$10.39±4.29 by mid 2025 if the current trend since December 2008 continues! Note, though, that this calculation has a very large error on it. If we take the entire record of average U.S. price of Gasoline over the past 20 years, it's closer to $4.37±0.33, which given the price now wouldn't be...

I am really sick of these companies trying to belittle each other, but that's the nature of the beast. I suppose it comes from living in Washington, D.C. and hearing the politicians accentuating their differences while never highlighting their common ideas or even show a willingness to...

At some point I hope in the next few months I'll be doing a survey of the East Coast Nissan Dealers EVSE preparedness in the greater Washington D.C. area, but do any of the North Carolingian and Floridian, etc report on how their dealerships are doing? Do they have any L2 Installed? ChaDeMo...

Any word on the higher mileage lease details, if available. Highest I've seen is 15,000; I'd feel more comfortable with 18,000 to cover my expected round-trip commute of 67 miles per day. 18,000 to 20,000 seems about right to me, and certainly 18,000 if possible as it would obviously be cheaper.

I personally believe that cynobacteria is coming faster than you think. I just wish graphine, fullerines and other high-strength carbon based nano-materials can become commonplace someday soon and replace all the steel, plastic and aluminum in cars at much reduced mass. That seems to be ever...

I'll hopefully be riding in March: http://aecn.timehorse.com/2010/12/hey-washington-your-turn-to-test-drive.html All but the Nashville, TN -- the final stop -- locations have been set: https://drivenissanleaf.com/Event/

Shifting the paradigm: Is an Auxiliary Battery Plug a solution to @NissanLEAF and other BEV Range Anxiety? Too late for the 2011 model and setting up the system of battery rental stores, not to mention having them stock and buy the equipment to recharge, them would not be trivial. The idea of...

Nah, no LEAF for you! Here is an update of the issue from a chat I had with Patrick at customer service: Nissan LEAF Tier 2 Ordering Information Okay, now, can we get every Marylander, Washington D.C. resident, Virginian, North Carolingian, South Carolingian, Georgian, Alabaman and Floridian...
