I just got a call from the dealership yesterday. Nissan will cover the replacement. They are ordering the batteries, and it should take a week or two for them to come in. Now I just need to get to BFE (Avondale) to pick it back up so I can drive it again until the batteries come in. I didn't...

Has anybody had their batteries replaced yet under the new warranty against capacity loss? I got down to 8 out of 12 bars a few weeks ago, and I will be dropping my LEAF off at a dealership to have them check it and order new batteries. I was just wondering what to expect.

Mesa to Payson? Recently, my husband and I have been discussing moving from Mesa to a smaller, higher elevation town such as Payson. We are still just in the pondering stages, but I was wondering if anybody had traveled from Mesa to Payson in their LEAF. If we did move, the only reason why I...

I was VERY happy with Trudy Varin over at Avondale Nissan. I drove all the way out there even though I live in East Mesa!

I didn't have to do anything to get the plate. The dealership did all of the paperwork and I just waited for it to show up in the mail. Did they not do that since you bought in CA and live in AZ? You also might want to make sure that they did not charge you for a plate and tags at the...

As much as I love my LEAF, I would hate for you to lease one and be disappointed. Yesterday I charged to almost 100% and did a 60 mile round trip into downtown Phoenix and used the freeway for most of the way. I have had my LEAF for 7 months and have no visible or noticeable range loss yet. I...

I can confirm that you get to keep the plate. Plates are now considered something that you "purchase" and "own" even if you are leasing the vehicle. I still have the plate off my first EV, and I could have put it on my leased LEAF. You cannot put an alternative fuel plate on a plug in hybrid...

What is happening on Friday night?

I'm afraid not. I am in the EV Project, and I still had to pay to charge at the one at the Mesa Convention Center.

Does anybody know if there is a quick way to find free public charging locations in the Phoenix area? I have Plugshare on my phone, which is how I found the Blink station at the Mesa Convention Center last week. However, plugshare does not make a distinction between free and fee based...

Oh, I am SO going to program this to mess with my husband while I am away on vacation! Thanks for the mischevous idea.

This is an interesting question. I have very little experience with NiMh batteries (considered them for my EV conversion, but they were too expensive), but here is what I figure with lead-acid batteries (what I actually put in my EV conversion). •Range - decreased range due to increased weight...

I haven't really had any stress with the car since the first weekend I owned it and didn't realize I couldn't charge at a Blink charger without being a member. My daily commute is about 25 miles. This still gives me plenty of range if I have to do a side trip. If we have to drive someplace...

Actually, I was wondering if dumping a bit of tap water under the car when I start parking it in the uncovered work parking lot might help.

I personally like the "gear shifter" where it is at. My mom's Prius has it next to the steering wheel, and I hated having to lean forward to shift and put it in park (I'm only 5'4''). Even though I haven't driven a manual transmission in awhile, I find comfort in resting my arm on the armrest...

Page 3 of the Customer Information and Disclosure Form: "Gradual loss of battery capacity. Like all lithium ion batteries, the 2012 LEAF battery will experience a reduction in the amount of electricity or charge it can hold over time, resulting in a reduction in the vehicle's range. This is...

I am having a problem with Plugshare right now. I signed up last month and offered the use of my outlet (this was before I had an EVSE). I showed up on the map, now I don't show. When I click "Log In", the window never changes and it does nothing. Is anybody else having this problem?

I would venture to say that Nissan knows about the early capacity loss through their tests, but chose not to disclose it in fear of throwing a monkey wrench into their initial launch campaign. They chose to let initial customers in hot weather cities discover the problem by themselves and if it...

I didn't know that you had to have a membership to use most of the public chargers out there (except for those at dealerships).
