So after around 7000+ miles everytime I start the car I get this message (see picture below) on my 2014 SV. I am not sure what that is. I checked my tire pressures and they are all right with between 40 & 41 PSI on all tires. I checked manually and also through the iPhone app - Leaf Stat -...

With 1000 miles on board and about 3 weeks since I picked it up, had an opportunity to charge it fully and run it down to VLB, and I should I say I am pretty impressed with the range. Conditions, 70F, very windy with 25 mph. Climate control : off Distance traveled : 82 miles from 100% to VLBW...

2014 Leaf SV Manufactured: 01/14/2014 Bought on: 01/31/2014 I am planning to use this thread to post my Gid values month on month on a 100% charge. I drive close to 75 miles or more every weekday and also drive a bit on the weekends. I expect to rake up good amount of mileage each month. I will...

On my brand new 2014 Nissan Leaf SV model the mechanical relays that initiate the charging keeps tripping continuously when the charging timer is set. This happens only when the charging timer is set. Pressing the timer override initiates the charge fine and the charging completes without any...

I just returned my 2011 SV and leased a 2014 SV this evening. The car was manufactured on 1/14 and it had 25 miles in the Odo, and was just delivered overnight to the dealer's lot. I told my dealer contact to have it charged to 100%, and the car just finished charging fully 15 minutes after I...

Well my lease after 24 months is ending on March 1st week. Given that I am at 29K miles now, I might be going over the allotted 30K miles by around 1500 miles which might cost me an additional $225. Now my question is: - should I wait for the end of lease in March and also wait for 2014s to hit...

Why does using climate control (heating) on shore power actually ends up consuming power from the battery? I reach a full charge of 225 GIDs in the morning (2 bar loser) and then I start the climate control using the remote iPhone app, and I do get a text message which clearly tells me that...

My friend sent me this picture of his dash in his 2013 Leaf, that has a warning symbol show up two days in a row. The symbol showed up yesterday when the Leaf was turned on after a charge and went away when it was switched off and switched on again. Samething happened today. No change in driving...

I hope the Democrat wins, but what would be the state affairs one year from now if President Obama loses ? if I were to take a guess: - the $7.5k subsidy would be removed and that would effectively kill the sales momentum of all EVs except Tesla and many EREVs, espeically the Volt...

Finally. Someone who took the time to investigate and really understand the economics and reasons for buying an electric car. In a sea of articles that mistakenly compares Versa to Leaf and Cruze to Volt, this one stands out as a breath of fresh air...

I was looking at CarStations iPhone app to look into the number of QC stations across various cities in the US, and was surprised to see the Houston as the maximum of QCs - around 10 -, whereas even the cities across California had just 2 or 3 max. Does the (relatively) higher number of QCs in...

Just got my first full month electricity bill since I got my Leaf. March & April are pretty good months to compare, because the weather is mild and there is no need for AC. The billing cycle coincidentally starts on the same day I bought the LEAF on March 12th. March bill: 702 kWh / $80 (Leaf...

[If there is a topic for this mods please move it, but I couldn't find..] Now that we all know how much one can get at speeds less than 40 mph, which is around 5.0 miles/kwh, or a range approaching 100 miles to a full charge., I am more interested in knowing what one should expect if I were to...

I work for a Fortune 500 company and I discovered there are two other Leafs besides mine. I checked with the facilities manager to see if they have any interest in providing charging infrastructure as a part of some green initiative. I was asked to send a formal emai, and if there is enough...
