Save the date: On Saturday March 28 from 9 am to Noon, we are having an "open yard" event at our home. This is a Sierra Club event along with their solar partner Sungevity. We will be featuring our new native plant front yard with vegetable area, rain barrels, home solar system, electric...

This street race of all electric cars will take place in 2014. I thought I would start a thread to discuss. We plan to attend for sure.

Just found out that Yosemite has a charging station now at the Yosemite garage. Looks like an L2 Clipper Creek. Here is the link on Yosemite's facebook page that talks about it with picture...

Heading there today so I thought I would start a thread for any posting by forum attendees on impressions, likes/dislikes.

We went to a performance tonight in the LEAF. Once in the structure we were hailed by an attendant asking us if we needed to charge. We didn't but asked where the station was. He indicated by pointing. We drove over that way expecting to see a level 2. No dice. Puzzled, we circled back to him...

There has been discussion here about how this grab handle is provided on UK and Japanese LEAFs but not our North American ones. I decided I wanted one. We plan to keep our LEAF a long time and we are not getting any younger. A grab handle for the driver would be very handy for getting in and...

Hi OC folks, Sierra Club is especially interested in someone attending who has a PV system and also an EV to be available to answer questions about her/his experience. If you are interested, please attend the meeting below and if you want to let Laura Jackson, the organizer, that you will be...

Anyone interested in going to the evening show (provided there is an evening time) for the Friday Oct. 21 opening of the film at the Landmark Nuart at 11272 Santa Monica Blvd. LA, just west of the 405 freeway (310-281-8223)? I will keep looking for posted showing times as it gets closer to Oct...

I thought I would start this thread so we can post our general efforts in getting legacy charging stations upgraded in the greater LA area and ask each other for help. Here is my offering: where I went, what I saw, what I did, and what you can do. Where: We went to a performance of Iris at the...

Here is the link about EV parking at this airport. Not free :cry: And not clear if stations have been updated to J1772. Maybe someone out that way can check it out? http://www.lawa.org/welcome_ONT.aspx?id=108

It started last night as I pulled into the driveway! There is a chiming sound, soft not loud, near the underside of the passenger dashboard. It is 3 musical notes that descend ta-ta-ta with a 5 second pause and then it does it again. It sounds sort of like a wristwatch alarm. Yes, I did check...

Does anyone know if Carwings can also function as a locator (like lojack) for the car if it is stolen? My insurance company wants to know if the LEAF has this locator capability.

Went to the auto show today. Boy, it seems like every maker has at least a hybrid or all electric to offer. At Mitsubishi, I did take a look at the all electric. Not good for someone like me, 6'3". Seats remind me of very early Honda Civics. Skimpy to say the least. Headroom was OK but forget it...

I thought I would start a new thread for those of us still waiting to order for Sept. I will post here when I can finally order. Hope other Sept. waiting folk will, too. I hope we are not posting in October. :evil:

Check out the LA Times for today Sept. 9 for an article by Hennigan in the Business section page B2 on their financial troubles.

Well, I didn't think I would be the one to start this thread but here it goes. Are we tired of doing this yet? LakeLeaf, are you still in this boat? EVnow, feel free to move this to the appropriate discussion area.

I am a Sept. order person and would like very much to hear about your experience with your dealer for Aug. orders....especially with Fontana, Connell or others in SoCal area. I have selected a preferred dealer but might change depending on what I hear.

Do you think we will all be able to follow this protocol at public stations? http://www.evchargernews.com/chargingprotocol.htm Seems like it needs to be updated. I am sure this will be an issue as more and more EVs want to access the public charging spaces.
