    Charge older Leaf with Lightning 240 volt EVSE?

    We have a 2013 Leaf and just got a Lightning, which comes with an EVSE that has adapters for plugging into 120- or 240-volt outlets. Before I fry anything, is it safe to charge this older Leaf with this EVSE in a 240-volt outlet? I don’t know why it wouldn’t be, but not sure if there’s some...

    Nissan Won't Honor Capacity Warranty, Says I Am 4 Days Late. 8 Bars

    When a gift card is purchased (as in, someone bought it and gave it to you as a gift), it generally doesn't/often can't (like in California) have an expiration date. When a gift card is given away as a promo, I've seen many that expire.

    Hahahahaha! Yes, yes, of course. (Dang it!)

    Curious why you bought your leaf?

    I don't understand the complaints about depreciation. Our price was 28,xxx before tax, etc. But we had state and fed. credits of 11,000. So what we PAID was 17,xxx. I would expect the value to start from there and go down, not from 28k. If I went to buy a 1 day old (used) LEAF, I wouldn't pay...

    Um… does anyone know how to edit a thread's title? Charging. Not Charing. :oops:

    Another Public Charging Station Etiquette Question

    I guess my wife was right. :cry: For my part, I'd be most appreciative if someone switched me to L3. But I guess I'll stock some post-it notes. Thanks for the input, everyone!

    L3 port was closed. But this seems like an excellent social cue for EV'ers to establish! The main port was not locked, in case that was someone's next question. :D (We checked, kinda hoping it was, which would have made the decision a lot easier.) [Edited 4/15/15 for SS&G police compliance.]

    Another Public Charging Station Etiquette Question

    We were not there when the other driver arrived. I only know the 15 minutes from the timer on the station. Yes, had we been there, we would have asked/offered.

    Another Public Charging Station Etiquette Question

    My wife and I debated a situation we encountered last night. We charged at a free public charging station that has one L3 and one L2. When we arrived, both were available, so we used the L3. When we left, there was another LEAF using the L2. It had one solid blue charging level indicator light...

    GEICO Mechanical Breakdown Insurance vs. Nissan Warranty

    We just got our first Leaf (new) and have been looking into Nissan's extended warranty (i.e., trying to find the lowest price). GEICO mentioned their Mechanical Breakdown Coverage, but couldn't (or wouldn't) send a copy of the policy. Has anyone here purchased this for a Leaf or checked into it...

    Hypermilers: Don't use Neutral to coast to a stop

    Obviously. I wasn't saying the "reaction of choice" was the CORRECT one, just that is was the (unfortunate) popular one, since no one actually learns to drive anymore. :(

    Hypermilers: Don't use Neutral to coast to a stop

    Agreed. But I don't think many people actually accelerate in these situations anymore. Seems the reaction of choice is to slam on the brakes.

    100.00 battery lease is a steal??

    If you consider the Smart Car's deal, I wouldn't say it's a "steal", and I would think it would be available to 2nd, 3rd, etc. owners. If you buy an SC, you can buy it with the battery, or without (and lease the battery). If you lease the battery, they knock $5.2k (or 5.1k or 5.3k... can't...
