I have thought ofbolting a 4kw generator under the rear area. My car is down to 16kw/h and in a.few trips I could have used a charging station but none were convenient. Essentially carrying my own changing station would be great for me. Does not increase one way range, but if you are stopping...

I'm 6'4" and I also invested on the brackets for my 2011 Leaf that I bought used on Jan 2013. It is the only modification I have made to the car. I only needed an extra "click" or 2 to make it perfect. The brackets are awesome and were money well spent!

Im v glad to hear it. My 2011 was very healthy when I bought it used in January 2013 with 4000 miles. It has 12k now and it's at 85% now. We well see how it behaves on the winter... If I drop as I did this summer in Houston I might be able to get a free battery replacement under warranty. I...

Thanks for the info. One follow question What is the percentage at which the car will reach the vlbw? Thanks!

So, I purchased a BlueTooth OBDII reader and installed LeafSpy...WOW with my used Leaf, with 12K in Houston, (had 4K when I bought it, car came from Atlanta) .I'm about to loose my 2nd bar it appears, I'm at 86% capacity remaining. Yesterday I charged to 100% using the timer override button...

So I notice when the interior dome light switch is set to Door, the lights dim a bit after door opening. This leads me to believe that there is a wire I can tap, in order to add lighting that recreates this effect without having to tap at the ceiling. I'd like to add lights to the foot wells to...

So..seeing how there are already Leafs out there with a 6.6Kw charger....It's only a matter of time before one is totaled, with a 6.6Kwh charger fully functional. What are the chances of retrofitting such unit into a 2011 or 2012 Leaf?

never mind. found it searching for the model and 595 in Google. Thanks.

mmm, that makes it an ok deal, but not awesome. where can you buy this 595 model. thecheapest I found when I searched was 750 from homedepot. Thanks!!!

I bought an identical one a few weeks ago... http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVSE-J1772-clipper-creek-220-volt-EV-charge-cable-for-Leaf-Volt-EV-Th-nk-/130850711534?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e774f67ee" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I think it's a great deal. Only goes up to 15A...

Thanks for all the ideas... I'll figure something out and let you know.

There seems to be a disconnect between what I want to accomplish and what many replies read into it. I have stated so far to very smart people who ask that the car is electric...but that does not get us to the same page. Most common follow up questions... It's a hybrid? Does it use gas...

not sure where I went wrong... the idea is to bring awareness to the propulsion type. people get "diesel" pretty easy... but electric they still have a hard time fully grasping. my thought was to create something that looked informational, same as "unleaded fuel only" our diesel only. I have...

Great idea. working in software I'd say it'snot required, but it could still be optional... i'm looking for can't put gas in this car!!! but stated in a cooler way...lol

I've been looking for ways to indicate that the car is ALL-ELECTRIC, no gas used... not a hybrid, etc... I put this sticker on it, which I thought was funny and somewhat to the point... http://www.ebay.com/itm/290679400420?item=290679400420&viewitem=&vxp=mtr"...
