I stopped by the Kahala Aloha Mini Mart on my way home (on my bicycle) Monday and they now have a Level III charging station. It will be ready for use on Wednesday (they are having a ceremony at 10:00 am). There is also one available at the Aloha Mini Mart in Waipio and the Shell in Kailua. I've...

Got a 1099-Misc from the State of Hawaii, Hawaii Electric Vehicle Ready Rebate Program today listing the $5,000 rebate I got for my Leaf as other income. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not this is taxable income? I think not, but I've been known to be wrong on rare occasions.

My backup camera used to show hardly and of the rear bumper but now the bumper takes up about 1/4 of the screen. I've looked at the camera and there are no signs that it was bumped. It still works but this is annoying. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions for fixing it?

On my previous car I rotated the tires by using the spare. That is I used the jack that came with the car to jack up a wheel, replace the wheel with the spare, then let the wheel down, jack up another wheel, remove that wheel and replace it with the previously removed wheel, etc. using the...

I wanted to start a thread just on the topic of free parking for EVs in Hawaii. If you don't know Act 290 of the 1997 legislative session states: So once you have your EV plates you can park for free in any County or State lot (and drive in the HOV lane with only one person ion the car). That...

I got a brochure when I took delivery of the Leaf that covered an extended warranty plan called Security+Plus and a pre-paid maintenance plan called Maintenance+Plus. After reading the brochure it seems we have until the first service interval (6 months or 7,500 miles) to decide whether or not...

For whatever reason the Dealer put this bracket on the undercarriage to hold the inspection stickers. There is no reason to do this except some people don't like the stickers attached to the rear bumper (which is where they are usually put). I think this the bracket messes with the...

In the Service Manual (page GI-59) there is a diagram showing the data port and it refers to some software called Consult/GST. Does anyone know about the availability of this software, the connector cable, what platforms it will run on etc.? For my VW I was able to get an after-market software...

Any suggestions for a roof rack that will work with the LEAF? I need to carry kayaks and the occasional load that won't fit inside.

So, is this just a problem here in Hawaii or have others noticed it? Not even tourists could possibly mangle Kamehameha as badly as the Navigation system does.

Called Katzkin today to ask if they had a pattern for the LEAF. Sounds like it will be a while. I installed the leather on my 2002 GOLF TDI and really like it. I asked them to e-mail me when the kit for the LEAF becomes available. Maybe if other people inquire and get on the list it will get...

On the off chance you are going to be on O'ahu July 29 you might find the following interesting: You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Dr. N.H. Paul Chung Memorial Lecture and Luncheon, featuring the CEO of CT&T United, discussing the future of electric cars in Hawaii. RSVP is...

I'm not sure I really need a car but I have a PV system and am producing more electricity than I use so I figured maybe an electric car would be fun.
