    How long to get a white HOV sticker (CA)

    I have three questions: 1) What is a typical timeline to get a license plate (California) and then receive a white HOV sticker? I'm still waiting for my plate, over 3 weeks. 2) Unless you receive a license plate, I cannot apply the HOV sticker. Correct? The form does requires the license...

    Chevy Bolt, 60kWh battery at $30K, is it real now?

    https://www.wired.com/2016/09/chevrolet-bolt-range-epa-rating/ Yes, we have been hearing about Chevy Bolt with 60kWh battery at $30K price, after the rebates. Chevy claims that the car should be available by 2016. Is it really happening now? If 60kWh battery is possible at such lower price...

    L2 charging is not working

    Thanks for the information. My lease will end within a two months, which was a 3.5-yr lease. Since 3 years have passed, probably no warranty. Not sure whether I have to fix with my pocket money.

    L2 charging is not working

    Mine is 2013 LEAF with QC and becomes around 3.5 years old. Mileage is very low: 22,000 miles. It has still 12 battery gauges. Since this week, L2 6kW charging via ChargePoint (installed at my workplace) doesn't work. DC fast and 120V slowest charging work fine. I tried with other ChargePoint...

    Any bay area deal for 2016?

    My 3-year lease (2013 LEAF) will end this month. I'd be happy if you could share your recent deals, especially in Bay Area. I'm looking for a short-mileage lease term. For the past 3 years, my mileage was only 24,000 miles ... By the way, should I wait for a better battery car like Bolt or...

    Serious rattle from speedometer, can it be fixed?

    I leased 2013 LEAF 2.5 years ago. I will return this car next April. This car has a very annoying rattle/vibration problem from the speedometer area. I'm wondering whether a dealership is willing to fix it. Is there anyone who suffers from this kind of rattle problems? Thank you!

    The same case for me. The paper form doesn't indicate this extension is m-to-m. This is my term (I think everyone should have the same text.)

    My original lease is also 2-year. From your statement, I will be eligible to get CVRP $2500 if I'm extending 1-year, because the total lease would be 36 months. No, paying huge down payment is very good for this 1-year extension. This 1-year lease extension offer is simply you pay the same...

    Thanks for the correction. My original lease was 2-year, and I will extend a year. Was your original lease 36 months?

    End of Lease Strategies?

    WOW, is this real? It's too good to believe. My term is 2-year lease with $170/month (with $2000 down). I will extend a year with 2-month credits, then I just have to hay 170*10=$1700. If I am really eligible for CVRP (as my total lease would be 36 months), I'm earning $800 (=$1700-$2500). I'm...

    End of Lease Strategies?

    Mine, 2013 LEAF, SV+QC+LED, 2-yr, 12K/yr, is expiring soon at the end of this April. I also got a 1-year extension offer including 2-month credits by a call. I'm currently paying $170 (including tax) after $2000 down payment. My mileage is extremely low, 7000 miles/year. Do you think that this...

    Basic questions for lease termination

    My 2013 LEAF is close to lease termination (April). This was my first lease. A couple of simple questions: 1. Should I clean/vacuum the car before returning? Lots of sand/dirt inside cabin. :? 2. There is $395 disposition fee. Will this fee be waived even if I lease a Nissan car at...

    1 hour charging (6.6kW) gives more than 25% capacity

    I'm usually charging at my company using a 6.6kW charger. Say an optimistic charging efficiency of 90%, then an hour charging would give around 6kW. 6kWh is 25% of LEAF batter, 24kWh. However, my observation is that an hour charge gives more than 25%. For example, today the batter was at...

    True cost of maintenance and repair/fix for longer term?

    I'm still new to my LEAF, which I leased this April. We are using only for city driving (20 miles per day). I definitely believe that the cost of maintenance (including fix and repair) of LEAF should be cheaper than gasoline cars in the same segment (e.g., Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai...

    Weight of battery and cabin space

    No, 4322 pounds is not the weight of the battery. LEAF is 3291 pounds. The batter can't be heavier than the car :)

    Weight of battery and cabin space

    (1) What is the weight of lithium-ion battery pack? Or, what would be the weight of the batter per kWh? I've heard that Tesla's big capacity battery (60~85kWh) takes so much weight, which enforced other materials such as doors to be lighter materials. Given that 1 gallon of gas gives 20-30...
