Has been in storage for over 10ys. Like new condition. For local pickup. Ventura County $25obo.

I have the brownish colored rear cargo organizer sitting in my garage for the last 10 yrs. Does anyone want it? California/Ventura County area.

I am noticing that when charging at the public DCQC stations. The capacity on the DCQC display readout at low SOC matches my LEAF app. However, as the charge nears 80% or 90% (depending on the station avail charge settings) and automatically shuts off, my car will only have 70-80% capacity. So...

I spoke with the city representatives about the need for low cost L2 charging. They said we can expect to get some possibly no cost L2 chargers at the Camarillo Metrolink station first quarter of 2014. They have been great at listening to input from citizens and going from having almost no...

I just realized the first i3 prototype I saw almost 2yrs ago was the coupe version. I still kind of find it hard to digest the looks of the sedan with the rear door lines, etc. On the other hand, I would beyond a doubt be interested in the coupe. Just seems like cleaner, lines, etc. I even...

Yesterday I took a trip from Camarillo to Northridge. About 78 mile trip, with a couple of miles driving around looking for the new Chademo charger at the CSUN campus. So I left the house after fully charging the battery to 100% LEAF ELM APP: 94.2% SOC 88.68%/58.76 Capacity 89.8F Battery Temp...

I have been complaining to city hall about why we have no chargers in our city (besides the L2 ones at our university). I spoke to a eVgo rep at the Oxnard plug-in day gathering last weekend. He said they will be putting chargers in soon at the Camarillo Premium Outlet stores. I just drove by...

So when I was leaving my local dealership this morning I did a double take when I saw an exhaust tip on a LEAF that was charging there. At first I thought, why??? Is this some kind of a joke? Then I thought, I wonder how dual exhaust tips would look. It might actually add some masculinity to...

With the ELM327 available now for everyone to use with their smart phones, we should make a compilation of the results from everyone. Showing the age/mileage of the car. General operation condition of the car (batt temps, mileage on car, DCQC?, frequent 100% charging?). I started logging my...

I know it was mentioned under the "Utilities" section. But I know many LEAF owners have SCE service in SoCal, so I thought i would mention in here, a pretty significant TOU-EV rate change this month. Here is last month's rate, and then my latest bill rate below it. Even though they raised...

Does anyone know the truth about these Solar Edge optimizers? http://solaredgevsenphase.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Supposedly will allow much higher energy yield than the 215 watt Enphase limit. Still offer some shade mitigation. Most importantly do not contain the...

I read and watch all the reviews on the LEAF, and many people seem to think the styling is somewhat "unattractive." I personally think the front is nice and modern looking. I think the rear haunches and tail lights would have been much better looking by styling it more like the Juke, with...

I was installing my HID foglights this weekend and was surprised at how small the actual motor is. Even with its water jacket, etc, the whole unit is less than a foot long. Also, I know many people have been discussing getting different wheels that are lighter than the originals. So I...

16 amp EVSE Upgrade 241 Volt Wall Outlet Voltage 16 amp x 241v=3856 watts (85% efficiency): 3277 watts charging x 4.35hrs= 14254.95 watts (14.25 kWh) At this rate, even charged to 100%, I am thinking at the most 2.8kWh additional could have been stored. Especially considering how fast my car...

Found it interesting how expensive an equivalent gallon of gas would be at current utility rates. Even at my discounted "super off peak" TOUEV .17cents/kWh rate, I am paying the equivalent of $5.68 gallon! And at my previous tier 5 (.32 cents/kWh) rate, I was paying over $10/gallon gas...

I have tested my Racelogic Performance Box at the track, and have found it extremely accurate when running against the time slip. It is so accurate I will often pickup the variances between different drag strips. I have used it at Famoso Dragstrip, Fontana, Sacramento, and LACR when it was open...

Was kind of surprised to see a variety of Costco solar panel systems online. They seem to have a pretty nice 3750watt system with M215 micro inverters. Comes with mounting hardware and price includes shipping. 15 250watt panels. Still not sure what they mean by 3750watt maximum power per day...

Removed my standard bulbs for the front pilot lights and the license plate light bulbs. Was suprised how much heat they generate. 5 watts each. So the four bulbs (20watts total) was replaced with LEDs (from superbrightleds.com). The total consumption of the four bulbs was reduced to about 5...

Just got my new 2012 Leaf SL last weekend. Still kind of shocked by some of my observations, but not sure it is because of a defect or normal. Range: When I first purchased the car, I went up the freeway 2.5 mile (6%) grade at 60mph, the range dropped around 25 miles! ( I have since learned...
