Just curious, but where do you get your 40 mph figure? In my Leaf I can go 80 miles traveling 55 mph and that is in the dead of summer with temp at 100+ F.

I have leased a 2012 Leaf for three years, but that was before the significant upgrades with the 2013. My question is should I explore the possibility of turning in my current lease for a new lease for a 2013? Has anybody considered that? or should I just stay with my 2012 lease until it...

I wasn't aware that Nissan will have new generation of Leaf by 2015. I am leasing a 2012 now but if they can shorten the charging time (as they have apparently done with the 6.6 Kw charger on board) and increase the electric range (200 or 300 would be nice) and do all this for less than 30K, I...

I wish eVgo and/or Blink would start placing Fast Chargers about 40 miles apart on the major Interstates. That would be the only current solution to trip traveling with a Leaf or Volt. Do you think that will happen anytime soon? This kind of "electric Highway" is being developed in...

Pardon me for breaking in, but that Tesla was at Earth Day at Fair Park in April. It is pretty neat but I would never be able to afford one at that price. I still love my Leaf (2012). I live in Haltom City/North Richland area.

That is unusual that heat would have a greater effect than cold?? I suppose I will find out here in the DFW area where temperatures can reach 100+ in July and August (sometimes September). If you had an air conditioned garage, I would think that you could slow that degradation down.

Just found out that Ford is hosting a meeting to explain what Ford has in the hybrid and all electric area. It will be May 29 at the AMC Theater at Grapevine Mills from 8:30-12:00. The address is 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway. I think that I might take that in.

I posted that request before I ran into several owners on Saturday May 11 at the charging station on Denton Hwy. It is interesting that I went to another charging station on Midcities and Beach that same day and ran into three other Leaf owners. I can give you their e-mail addresses by PM and...

What general location do you live in?

If by Haltom City you mean the new charging station at Walgreen's on Western Center and Beach? It started up about a week ago. I met about 5 Leaf owners on Saturday, May 11. It is well located.

I feel that I am the only person in the fort Worth Texas area. I would like to establish connection with those that have commerciasl EV's in this area. Maybe we can hang out and compare notes. What do you say??

I have blue lights with trickle. However my Leaf is a 2012(not made in Tennessee.

Keep in mind that most leases involve a mileage limit. I lease and must stay 1000 miles per month over that I pay a penalty. However ,I have had no problem staying within that limit. I agree that leasing is your best option.

Although I am a monthly subscriber of eVgo (40.00 / Mo). I use the QC 4-5 times per week(16-20 per month)(2.00 per 30 minute QC), I could live with B2,C,D,F,H.

Good analysis. Thanks for the rundown.

I purposely make my evgo subscription (40.00/Mo) work for me. I use the QC 4-5 times a week or 16-20 times per month. This gives me a 2.00 / charge.

eVgo network in Texas charges a monthly subscription ($20.00 - $90.00)unlimited use, and does all the construction and maintenance. As far as I know the Walgreens and cracker Barrels don't pay much except put up the property, but I may be wrong on that. I plan to ask evGo reps in the Fort...

That would be unacceptable to me. Last time I looked in a mirror I didn't see the word "sucker" on my forehead.

These pricing models would torpedo the EV market. It is pure madness and is absolute greed at its most ridiculous level.. An LBW to 80% no more than 6.00.

if you QC to 80% that would be 60 miles. If gas cost 4.00 / gal and the IC gets 40 mpg that would be 1.5 gal at 4.00 / gal which is 6.00 for gas. It would not be cost effective if you paid more than 4.00 for a QC. If I had to pay 10.00 for a QC that would be madness and EV's would never be...
