    COVID-19 aka 2019 (and 2020) Novel Coronavirus

    Thanks for the video. Taiwan is an awesome place. Our friends there are the nicest people. Countries like Taiwan need to get vaccinated. Covid is always looking for the unvaccinated.

    My 2011 Leaf is 10-years old! Anyone else stayed with their original Leafs?

    I am out. Just sold 2011 here in Hawaii with 38K Mi. 5 bars for $4750. Buyers seemed happy as the mileage will meet their demands. I have enjoyed the maintenance free ride for 10 years. I have replaced 1 pair of wipers and a cabin filter in 10 years. My EV days are over. At 62 years of age I...

    Good hard-hitting test and commentary on a 2018 Nissan Leaf

    I am kind of going the other way in my thinking on vehicles. I understood that there were limitations but I took the leap of faith hoping that Nissan would not screw me over. Fool me once. At 62 years of age and living quite comfortably here in Kailua Kona, I have come to the realization that...

    Good hard-hitting test and commentary on a 2018 Nissan Leaf

    That might be true but my 2011 was in the PNW from 2011-2015 before moving it to Hawaii. I might have done 3-4 quick charges in the PNW, none in Hawaii. I have 5 bars left and still only have 38,000 miles. Outside of the $hit battery, car has been dependable. Nissan released this car way before...

    COVID-19 aka 2019 (and 2020) Novel Coronavirus

    Oilpan just says stupid things to get everyone riled up. It was nice not having him around for a while. If you check testing numbers in Texas those are down quite a bit. We continue to be the laughingstock of the world when it comes to how we have handled the virus. Brazil is doing their best...

    Nissan 400Z: a missed opportunity

    cwerdna, couldn't agree with you more. While one needs to give kudos to the pure speed of a high end Tesla, as a sports car it really does not fit the bill. For $80K you can get a very nicely equipped mid-engined Corvette that might not out drag a Tesla but will out handle it on a track and it...

    It is amazing how many people buy an EV and then notice

    "And then notice that the vehicle has lost half its value within a year or two". My 2011 with 38,000 and five remaining battery bars is not worth a dollar a pound. Nissan makes crap vehicles. I own a 2008 Prius and would never trade it for anything electric. I can afford to buy gas at any...

    What can you tell me about this 2013 from this picture?

    I have a 2011 with 5 bars. On a good day I might get 50.

    Poll : Number of miles before losing the first bar

    How about the least amount of miles and the most bars lost. My 2011 is at 38,000 mi. and have lost 7 bars.

    Poor Tire tread life on 2 year old 17K miles Leaf

    The ecopias on my 2011 with 38000 miles are still performing well.

    Someone is really good at cherry picking facts. That is whats wrong with this country. Wear a friggen mask and follow what you are told by professional people. Not the Idiot who leads the Coronavirus party.

    Down four bars with little effect

    Aloha RAT. My 2011 is down to 5 bars. I can get to and from the places I need to get to. But anything else is not doable. Had to tow it from Hilo to new house in Kona. Set the parking brake on the trailer and forgot to turn off parking brake and tried to back off trailer without releasing...
