Ahhh yeah!

Are you certain that Nissan didn't give you the old battery chemistry? Based on the recent settlement forcing Nissan to provide the Lizard battery as the replacement for the capacity warranty, they make have given you a refurbished 2011 like they did to me. My degradation on my 'new' battery...

I agree, that is impressive and you're right about the CD. The Delta Wings' (similar shape) CD is reported to be .35 :| .

The small frontal area is conducive to a low CD, there just isn't a lot surface area to block wind. The shape also increases the downforce and the small track, reduces the rolling resistance. All of that increases range, but the only thing that will be a 'huge advantage" is more kwh. Nissan...

Plug-in event at Huntington Beach. The BladeGlider is all sports car. They guy in the grey shirt works for Nissan (great guy to talk to) and told me that there is a push to build the car within the company. Since it's only a show-car, there are no specs. It's about half the height of the...

I got 84 miles out of the new pack ( new according to Nissan corporate) this week, no turtle. I haven't done that since 2011. Maybe I'll shoot for the 100 mile club tomorrow.

278 GIDS the other day on a public EVSE, maybe my EVSEupgrade equipment at home is short-changing me. It is a new battery and I've already put over 1,000 miles on it.

I took it to Fontana Nissan. I was their first capacity warranty and the service tech and had to have Nissan call them but outside of that, things went well. I had 264 GIDS the last time I check full charge. Soooo nice!

Nope, I'm back to my 'old ways' in the carpool lane baby!

The suffering is over!! The car was back in my hands with a new battery on January 11th! Took the service department about three days to complete the work and Nissan corporate is VERY helpful after that fourth bar disappears. I'll be keeping this car after the lease is up and I'm hoping that...

13.7 km/kwh is 8.5 miles/kwh which is about double what I get in my LEAF. I'm sure that the dash on that BladeGlider is correct (I zoomed in on one of the photos) but what was the average speed? The tease on efficiency along with there being enough seats for my entire family, a target price...

I'm glad to hear that Nissan is so very serious about EV's. My LEAF is at 50k miles and 9 bars. The rough plan for replacement sounds fantastic to me!

Wow, how'd you manage that? Most have a hard time hitting 70 highway miles on the freeway before hitting LBW on a new car! My best answer is 'I have to' I guess. The periodic slowdowns in the LA traffic help but I still have to keep up. I try to keep the car at two 'dots' as much as possible....

42,000 after 20 months. Have used a DCQC at least three times per week in the beginning, now I do it twice per day four times per week (need to move). Just lost my second capacity bar and did 70 highway miles before LBW this week. I need new tires. There has been an explosion of new DCQC in...

Glendale Nissan has a new DCQC, maybe 10 miles closer to your start point.

Get the SL LEAF. I'm also an IT Consultant in So. Cal and just hit 42,000 miles in my leased 2011. I have a cluster of customers 50-60 miles away and relied on one DCQC and 3.3kwh until recently and it's working better now that there are many more DCQC thanks to Nissan & Blink. There are...

I noticed a few post/articles like this one; http://www.insidejapantours.com/japan-news/2697/nissan-vice-chairman-electric-vehicle-not-viable-replacement" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - that mistakenly state that Takeshi Uchiyamada works for Nissan. Uchiyamada works for...

Impact - I have customers about 50 miles from my home. Sometimes I need to visit two within a short period of time and/or on short notice. When that happens, I may or may not need a trip to the DCQC. I wasted time last week because I was unsure of my SOC and went out of my way to the DCQC...

After I was afflicted with the software update, I learned that I can only see my state of charge if I connect to a DC quick charger. Three bars is 35-40% SOC in my car now. I call Nissan every week now just tp tell them how it has impacted me.

I understand why you came to the decision Tony, but the need is still there and you were right on target. I suggest that those of use that are serious continue to pledge and that the money be placed into escrow. We secure permits in the target locations while the capital is accumulating and...
