This is in my view a good hard-hitting test and commentary on a 2018 Nissan Leaf. It doesn't seem to have the bigger battery pack, but I like several things here including that the tester gives a point of view from the American Southwest, and that they do not pull punches in the end. Their...

I have heard somewhere recently that Tesla is now at about 80% of the US EV market (maybe that number was just looking at BEV and not PHEV). Assuming this is about right, one of the things this speaks to, in my opinion, is Nissan's failure to identify (more clearly) and go after (more...

I love criticizing Musk where I think discredit is due, but in this case I think major credit is due. Very glad to see him stumping for, and prioritizing, a Carbon Tax and for Carbon Capture. 1. Carbon Taxes...

I saw in my plugshare inbox an invitation to participate in a new battery degradation study. At present I have a Volt. I went to the link and it appears to be simply a matter of my agreeing to let them communicate with my vehicle. In my case I have a 2013 Volt, and the communication was set...

Hi - In another thread I made a comment on a point of past Nissan EV strategy, and some discussion ensued, but it was of tenuous relevance to the thread topic, so I am starting a thread here. I don't know if there are already any existing threads for discussion of Nissan EV Strategy past and...

Perhaps this is already done, but if not, then I want to suggest Nissan look into it: I've been thinking that it might be of use (such as to help preserve battery life) to allow for a parked vehicle to have an L1 or L2 hookup that directly powers the heating, cooling, ventilation, radio and...

Hi - A friend just sent me this: https://refundadvocacy.com/auto-parts-indirect/ "...Manufacturers Illegally Fix Prices "Years ago a bunch of auto parts manufacturers got together and illegally fixed the price of certain car parts. Because car makers paid too much, they charged you too much...

Hi - I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out if there were existing battery leasing or battery lease threads, and I couldn't find them using the search box here, so here is my question: Has there been any talk or consideration given, by Nissan or by Leaf enthusiasts, possibly to bringing...

Is the Leaf for sale at this dealership? I was at the dealership a few years ago, and it was not for sale there at this time. I don't speak Spanish so it is difficult for me to tell if things are updated. I do see the Leaf mentioned on the web page, but maybe that is just a standard web page...

Hi - Nissan's decision not to include liquid cooling with the 2019 Leaf E-Plus has thrown a wrench into my planning for a future vehicle, and so I am here to ask others for their views and knowledge they may have accumulated, as I have not been able to follow Leaf matters as closely as I would...

I made a suggestion at gm-volt.com, and to OnStar directly, that may have fallen on deaf ears, and as I revisit the Leaf forum and revisit the question of Nissan's open-ness to suggestions, I wonder if it might be worth making here. It is simply that, as I listen to the conventional radio, we...

Well, I'm not sure of the right name of the association, but what I am getting at is that in our county there were no public stations, so we partnered and set one up. We decided to keep it dead simple and not try to bill for any use of the station, but simply (for now at least) to give away...

Hi - it's been some years since I drove a Leaf, but I read a driver recently found some information that a local Nissan dealership was making an accessory available for 2018 Leaf that was a portable L1/L2 cable (NEMA 14-50). Does anyone know anything about this? Is this common knowledge? I...

Hi - background to question: Recently I ran into opposition to a suggestion I made that gm should improve aspects of its tpms so that it would be more hassle free. This was prompted by my own experience: - apparently the dealer provided the vehicle to me without it having been checked to...

Hi all: I did do a bit of searching before starting this thread, and although there is some discussion here and there in the official Tesla Model S thread, I did not see any specific numbers, which is what I am after. At edmunds and KBB, the two sites that seem readily to offer numbers on...

Going by the calendar, the Formula E series will in the coming months be making stops in Mexico City, New York City and Montreal: http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/calendar/ I caught the tail end of the awards ceremony for Buenos Aires last night on TV. I have always been a bit wary of the fact...

Hi - I was browsing some of the quarter-mile drag races between the better-performing Tesla 4-door sedans and some expensive 2-door supercar gasoline-powered vehicles. It is certainly fun to watch the Teslas teaching a few lessons here and there, even if there is a "win-some, lose-some"...

Hi - does anyone know a good source of information or a forum where insightful points have been made about how services like Uber and Lyft work out in semi-rural areas? I ask in part because I am near Nogales, Arizona and I've heard that a couple of drivers tried to make it work here with...

Hi - some time back someone referred me to a page which showed an interesting graphic on used vehicle prices, but I can't seem to find that page. Does anyone have any ideas?
