    Tony Seba Keynote Presentation on Energy/Transportation Disruption

    I don't know if everyone has already seen this. It is a very persuasive talk about the disruption getting underway in the energy and transportation segments of the economy. He contends that ALL vehicles sold in 2030 will be electric. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxryv2XrnqM

    Beyond Belief!!!

    So on November 18 I had a minor fender bender accident - some guy in the lane beside me veered into my lane and damaged the right front fender/bumper/wheel area of my LEAF. The police report states that he veered into my lane, sideswiping me, and causing about $2300 damage. The parts arrived...

    Any Information about Astrum Solar?

    Has anyone on the forum had a solar system installed by Astrum Solar? If so, what was your experience - good, bad, average? I started my solar project with them back in late March and they still can't give me a date when they will start my installation. I can't believe the process should take...

    So I have two different routes to work.....

    They are both the same distance (28.7 miles) and they both take about 45 minutes to drive. If I take route A, I get about 6.0 miles/kwh and I'm into the 4th charge bar when I arrive at work (after a full charge). If I take route B, I get about 5.7 miles/kwh but I'm still on the 3rd charge bar...

    Thump-thump-thump-thump???

    So I have this low level thumping noise - just barely audible, and just barely feelable in the steering - that matches the wheel rotation frequency. I checked the wheels for bubblegum, rocks, etc, but there was nothing there. Does this sound like a wheel bearing? Usually with a wheel bearing...

    Another Consideration for Battery Life??

    There have been many comments and predictions about battery life based on ambient temperature (Arizona, Texas, etc), calendar age of battery, charging to 100%/80%, fast charging, depth of discharge, etc, but I don't recall seeing anything that correlates battery life with the average mile/kwh...

    Electric Car Show in Rochester NY on April 20th

    Last year I went to the electric car show at the Penfield Community Center (on Baird Road about 1/2 miles north of the 441 traffic light) and was the only LEAFer there. There were 3 or so Volts, a couple of Mitsubishi i-Mievs, some homemade EVs, some conversions, and my LEAF. I was surprised...

    Ever Charged at Someone's Home Listed on Plugshare?

    I've been on Plugshare for over a year now and as of today no one has stopped by for a Level 2 (or Level 1) charge. I told my wife, who was a little hesitant to list our charger on Plugshare, that I would be surprised if we got more than 1 or two visitors a year. I may have overestimated the...

    80% Charging???

    So I've had my Leaf for about a week now, but I haven't felt comfortable only charging to 80% yet. My commute is 58 miles round trip, and when I leave home, the GOM says I have about 85 miles. I use 4 bars getting to work (GOM says 62 left), about 5 bars getting back home (I live at a higher...
