Go Bhutan! Go Carlos! 2013 S 5,800 miles Like new Level 1 charging Loving it!

I have read on this forum that green should be considered for an exterior color for the car. I would like to see a Leaf with Hunter Green exterior. It is a dark rich green. It goes really well with a chocolate brown interior, chocolate brown leather seats. Thanks.

I read a story about a guy who made a movie about electric cars. He said you don't promote electric cars by saying they are good for the environment or by saying they save money. He said you promote electric cars by saying they are fun to drive and they bring joy into your life. I thought...

Re: lithium in Bolivia They recently discover lithium in Wyoming as well. A lot of it as I recall.

I know that there are cars where the rear seats are not really functional. You'd have to cut your legs off at the knees to sit there. A design like that would qualify for lower insurance rates and make space for extra battery packs. Hymotion added battery packs to the Gen II Prius. I'm sure...

Nissan went to great pains to make a car that would seat 4-5 people and they did a great job. I appreciate the cargo space when the back seats are folded down but I never carry passengers in the back seats. I would like to have less accommodation for back seat passengers (or no back seat at...

I leased the S with Quick Charger. I don't need the Quick Charger but it came with the car. I just plug in at night at 120 Volts. My interest is in just driving electric. I don't need all the bells and whistles. I'm very happy with my Leaf. I tell people that it is a win/win. I win...

I agree. The side mirrors work. They just are not nearly as good as the ones on the Prius.

Hi, I just got a 2013 Leaf S and I am very happy with it. I also have a 2011 Prius Hatchback and I have made several comparisons between the two cars. In most of the feature comparisons I prefer the Leaf design. There is one feature where I think the Prius is better designed. It is the...

Thanks for the info. Very helpful!

I charged my 2013 Leaf S for the first time last night using the timer. I set the timer to 9:00 and to charge to 80%. I checked the car this morning at 8:00 thinking that it would still be charging but was surprised to see that it had finished charging. It had charged to 79% and 76 miles on...

Ray, I have the 2013 S. There is no B mode. I too find that Eco mode has more regen going down hill than D mode. Regulus

Blue Ocean, Thank you very much! I think my Leaf is the best car I've ever owned. There is one small thing I do miss, however. It is the brake selection on the shifter. Being able to step up the regen when going down steep hills would be great. I have read here the opinion that the Leaf...

I have had my 2013 Leaf S for 500 miles and I noticed something odd this morning. I always charge to 80 percent with a 110 outlet. At first it charged to 75 miles and then it started charging to 72 miles. I figured that the battery heater (I have the cold weather package) brought the range...
