LOL, the roadside waiting on a tow truck is lonely, but quiet. I'm not a huge fan of the generator noise but I'm glad it's there so we can keep going when we run out of juice. Tire noise? I dunno, I didn't find the Leaf any quieter and I definitely didn't like driving the Leaf better than...

LOL, you have tons of chargers in Phoenix ( http://www.recargo.com/search?search=Phoenix%2C+AZ&commit=+++SEARCH+++" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ).

I think it's too early to say that trading in makes more sense than spending $2K on a plug-n-play 6.6 (or faster). For one, the 2013's aren't out. No pricing has been announced and finally, who knows how far trade in values will fall by the time the 2013's are available. A $2K 10kW ( :) )...

That's what I said. Lower gas prices don't help sell anything that's more efficient. All efficient vehicles sales suffer, so when someone says "low gas prices hurt Leaf sales" they also hurt Volt, FFE, HFEV, Prius (ect) sales. So the Volt's numbers would have been even higher too. I don't...

1. Lower gas prices don't help sell anything more energy efficient, but that also means the Volt numbers are suffering and would be higher. 2. Most Volt dealers no nothing either. I've had two that knew about the car (at least one of them went through GM training on it). I've talked to a lot...

Basically you're ICE'ing their spot in a Leaf :lol: It may be in your parking lot, but if it was subsidized and the business is open ...

LOL, so you're taking the bet :P J/K, I wouldn't take your money :lol: But, seriously, enjoy the Leaf, I'm sure you will. You drive 20K miles per year, just to work and back? Yikes! About 80 miles a day? Have you looked into charging at work? Eh, probably better to not go OT. Oh, but I...

Ingineer, Any chance of the charger being even faster than 6.6? Could you go 9.9 for not much more or would the jump be enormous? Now I'm thinking about a used Arizona Leaf with a 6.6 or 9.9 onboard :o jpokoraw1, If you decide to tow the Leaf, make sure you read about whether or not the...

I knew there was a plan!

Already received an 3 month oil change coupon from our local dealer :D And, yes, it expires 18 months too soon ;)

I dunno why the Volt doesn't, but the Volt's on-board computer doesn't. It separates the J1772 electricity from the on-board generator produced electricity. If you charge (J1772) after burning gas it adds that charge to the EV miles but when that's depleted it goes back to the CS count. The...

Want to bet a $15K battery pack on that ;) Seriously though, I'd lease if I were you. And, I am in the same situation because, as you know, we're looking for a 2nd EV and for variety and the extra 20-25 extra miles of EV range the Leaf was top of the list (it's tougher now because the Volt...

Nissan should do it! But, it's not selling Leafs. Nissan should build a better, cheaper Leaf.

The recommended maintenance is oil changes every 2 years. In exchange for that you get a 40 mile EV and a back up plan that you carry with you.

I guess I could elaborate. On a trip, once in CS ALL miles are counted as CS. If you stop and charge then those EV miles are counted as EV.
